Lazy investing is nothing more than the good old "Modern Portfolio Theory" put into action:
Simple, well-diversified portfolios of three to 11 no-load index funds, either mutual funds or ETFs. (from MarketWatch news)
But, unfortunately, Wall Street doesn't want you to use this Nobel Prize-winning strategy because it can't rake off enough in transactions fees from index funds.
An Introduction
Hi. Welcome to BourGroup and my blog. Phil
Phil Bour is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER(tm) professional since 2004, a Magna Cum Laude college graduate and an accounting professional for over 35+ years. I love numbers, statistics and economic history.
I am also an Enrolled Agent (EA) to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service and to prepare tax returns.
"Phil"osophy: I believe that you can manage your money on your own (not necessarily through individual stock selection but through mutual funds, ETF's and other solutions) once you receive some one-time, professional guidance. Why pay annual fees when there may be little added value? For additional information, first read the "An Introduction" label at the left. Then move on to others.
