Hi Gang, I've finished the book, "How A Second Grader Beats Wall Street," and on the whole, discounting the somewhat strident parts, it's quite good. In fact a friend fits the profile of a person who this would be best for, someone not all that interested in managing an investment on any kind of a regular basis. She would not likely even finish the book if I were to suggest she read it. Later on when I'm getting gaga I'll switch to it as well.

From what I can tell so far it's not as fabulous as he claims but it is not as bad as a more traditional Buy & Hope.

On another issue, the error I thought I found, it was pointed out to me that if one re-balanced between the two funds at the end of each year you would, indeed, get 10%/year. He just didn't mention this and I didn't think of it myself since he was pushing the idea of doing as little fiddling as possible.
