Weekend Links and Designing My Roth IRA Portfolio
- 3 Comment
As I am accumulating funds to beef up my Roth IRA , I’ve begun putting some thought into building my investment portfolio. I’ve been reading up and researching on sound investing for retirement.
I love the thought of buy-and-hold-then-forget investing. Because I’m young, I do believe that I should be aggressive but I am considering the current volatile stock market amidst a dangerous economic time.
My primary choices are Dodge & Cox funds and the increasingly popular ETFs by Vanguard (of course, the notorious fund company among the personal finance blogging community). I’d by index investing while using one of two actively managed funds to add growth potential – and risk.
While I’m still figuring out which mutual funds or ETFs to use and the fund allocation, take a look at a few posts around the personal finance blogosphere:
- Triage Your Finances at Consumerism Commentary. I have an EMT-Basic certificate and was intrigued at the thought of applying the process of rapid triage to personal finances. It employs the same idea that we must do the most good with what limited resources we have – in this sense, the limited resource is money.
- The X-Men Guide To Unlocking Your Financial Mutant Powers at Man Vs. Debt. Baker writes an amazing post bringing together finances and some of our favorite comic book heroes. Since I’m set on a path to get rid of my debt, I guess my X-men mutant power is that of Wolverine’s.
