I just simulated a one time $50,000 purchase using the ETFs in the 60/40 portfolio and a start date of Dec 3, 2001. As of Today (dec 4, 2010), the portfolio is worth…. 49700.37.

Newbie: I haven’t read the book, although I probably will eventually, but a really good classic book which cuts down active management is “A Random Walk Down Wall Street” – Malkiel.
He uses a lot of academic studies as well but it’s still a fun read (at least I thought it was).
