Scott Burns: Couch Potato Investing 2015: Disappointing, But Above Average

TedTed
in Fund Discussions
FYI: Couch Potato investors, like most investors, have no reason to celebrate 2015. The most basic Couch Potato portfolio is a 50/50 mix of a total domestic market index fund and an inflation-protected Treasury securities index fund. It’s a simple mix: if you can fog a mirror and divide by the number “2” you can do this. And, yes, you can use a hand-held calculator!
Regards,
Ted

    The Couch Potato portfolio lost about 0.74 percent for the year
    Most investors did worse than that.
