I caught the market at the bottom when I moved my money around to do this and the returns last year were great. I will be interested in how it does going forward. </p>

<p>As for upgrading, well... I don't know what's involved because it requires subscription (which I don't want to pay), but anytime you start talking about perhaps out-performing the market, and you're talking about some pretty dangerous stuff. This is doubly so if you're trying to sell the idea to beginner and/or passive investors for real money.</p>
<p>But who knows, maybe I'm just being too skeptical without taking a good look. But as a fellow passerby who is not trying to sell anything, please remember the well-worn phrase, "Caveat Emptor". Even the brightest minds and best of intentions is not always enough to out-perform the market.</p>John commented on 'Sound Mind Investing's Just-the-Basics Strategy (And Giveaway!)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e20120a7ecd887970b2010-01-19T15:53:38Z2010-01-19T15:53:38ZJohnI've been doing the simple approach for years, even thought I spend more than an hour a year.

I use Vanguard funds but have chosen a few different types, some growth, some value, some just regular 500 index. Overall, I think I've done at least as good as the general market. Of course I'd like to do better.
