what low-fee & liquid exchange-traded index funds / etfs should i consider holding in a retirement portfolio?
user
i use the following allocation in my retirement portfolio: i prefer these because: expense ratios oh, and by their very definition, etfs are very liquid. edit: the remaining 10% is the speculative portion of my portfolio. currently, i own shares in hap (as a hedge against rising commodity prices) and tip (as a hedge against hyperinflation).
