Lets see if I can format this Vanguard Comparison Table from my newsletter in WORD to show here (10/20/10) Vanguard Fund SYMBOL Yield YTD GNMA VFIIX 3.60% 7.81% Total Bond VBMFX 2.40% 8.37% Prime MM Fund VMMXX 0.08% 0.05% TIPS Fund VIPSX 0.40% 9.78% REIT Fund VGSIX 3.31% 27.73% Total Stock VTSMX 1.52% 8.34% Finisar FNSR 0.00% 110.2% I personally own and have recommended Finisar plus the TIPS and REIT funds but no GNMA or Total Bond this year. I also have some retirement cash in MM fund that I wish I'd kept in total bond longer or moved to TIPS or REITS with the money I did move there... dusty crystal ball! Obviously, I wish I had put ALL my money into FNSR, my top gainer... but the REIT and TIPS funds have done well for what is often considered "fixed income" or at least alternatives to equities on an asset allocation basis.
