Default Re: Market Philosophy and Mutual Funds

Given that you say that you're looking to invest a significant portion of your net worth in the next couple of months, I assume that the bulk of your investments will be in taxable accounts. For good or ill, this narrows your options, as quant strategies and even rebalancing start to look like bad ideas, given the tax bite.

A few questions to hone your choices:

What's your time horizon?

What's the biggest percentage loss of your portfolio you could stomach in the pursuit of higher returns?

What are your thoughts regarding asset allocation among domestic and foreign equities and bonds?

Despite your belief in market inefficiency, would you be comfortable investing in index funds for their tax efficiency, or are there certain anomalies you feel strongly enough about that you wish to try to exploit them?

Just some thoughts,

@nth
