Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: You got trouble, my friends, right here in River City. Either you're closing your eyes to a situation you do not wish to acknowledge, or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster indicated by the presence of an index fund in your community.

I have put money into RSP and have no complaints. The differences are not large but over time I suppose they could be. For indexing I do like SCHD (Schwab) more than VOO and more than low-vol etfs. In other words I do not use them around the edges as the article advises, but instead. The thing with RSP as I understand it is that you get more of the smaller companies.
