Hello
Based on the advice I received on this forum, I recently switched my IRA and ROTH to Vanguard funds. It was quick and easy and no regrets. I am now planning on moving some money into their stock funds. I have about $25,000 to invest. I have no plans to need the money over the next 10 years. I have been advised to put 30% in VGTSX and 70% in VTSAX.
Any thoughts or opinions??

Everyone here keeps mentioning VGTSX for international. Is there any major difference I am missing between VGTSX and VFWAX? The Jim Collins series mentions VFWAX for international stocks, but they look almost identical to me.Good question. Google

The only real difference I know of is the index they track. VGTSX uses a broader index and it is therefore more diversified.
