Ho, Fellow Mustachians!
I've been poking around the forums a bit, and the consensus seems to be VTSMX to be a good core holding. However, I've also read some posts arguing that for tax advantaged accounts such as a ROTH IRA, high dividend yield products such as REIT are better because of the tax implications.
I'm a pretty young guy (23) and as I'm returning to school, I don't anticipate contributing significantly or (hopefully) touching this account for at least 4 years. I have about $3,300 in my money market with Vanguard right now, and I'm wondering what might be best to start with. I'm willing to take on a bunch of risk as well, because of my age. Which product with Vanguard (or another one with vanguard) would you reccomend? VTSMX or VGSLX (the vanguard REIT)? I also thought a lot about NAESX (the small cap index).
Alright, thanks so much mustachians. Here's to vast financial wealth, eternal life, and endless strength!
