Just a quick defense of Bogle.... I attended a talk of his a couple of =
years ago and he was clear in warning that he felt the market was very =
overvalued and that future returns would be far smaller than what we had =
seen in the late 90s.

  Tom,

      I haven't recalculated the total return numbers for my total =
Vanguard in a while.  Just eye-balling the various accounts I would =
estimate the total current loss from the Q1 - 2000 peak to be 20 - 30 %. =
 That is with a mix that is about 50% Totl Stock Mkt, 25% Bonds 15% =
International Stock, 5% REIT and 5% Energy.

      As to my feelings about it, the appeal is that it is a low maint =
portfolio that has done reasonibly well through most times. I had read =
John Vogle's book on using index funds and buy and hold.  I bought into =
it.  There was also a time back in the early 90's when I managed a =
portion of my portfolio using the Fidelity Monitor newsleter.  For a =
period of a couple of years I used both my current approach and followed =
the newsletter.  The Vanguard buy and hold strategy out performed the =
newsletter.  Eventually, I dropped the newsletter and went strickly with =
Vanguard buy and hold.
     =20
      On a go forward, I would like to depend less on Vanguard index =
fund buy and hold.  =20

    thanks for the intro, Bob, and welcome to the group. I look forward =
to your future participation, now that we know you are out there =
listening in. Curious how your performance with Vanguard buy&hold fund =
has been, and how you feel about it?

    Hello All,

        I have been a lurker on this list for a few months now and =
thought I would make a proper introduction of myself.  I have been =
investing in stocks for about 20 years, although up until now, mostly =
passively.   I subscribed to the Vanguard buy and hold index fund =
approach for the bulk of my holdings.  Through the recent market down =
turns I began to question that approach, at least for all of my =
holdings.  I got serious about learning more about investing in =
individual stocks. =20

        I have recently read WON's HTMMIS and I am starting to apply the =
concepts.  I have found the discussions here also an excellent guide and =
reference and look forward to participating in them.

        For my day job, I am an independent computer consultant, =
primarily as an Oracle iDBA.

    Bob
