Need some guidance... tin8shusd  07-06-2008, 1:43 PM | Post #2536059  |

I'm trying to get some insight as to whether this portfolio makeup is a good one for my circumstances.  I'm 22, can handle the risk involved w/ any funds, and I'm in the AAB program with TRowe (Automatic Asset Builder, i.e. no below-minimum account charges).  I've been investing 50 bucks a month thus far, but this will surely increase as I'm set to graduate in December and get a full-time job with a state gov't agency.

Here's what I've drawn up for the next year:

Growth Stock (July, January) - New Asia (August, February) - New Horizons (Sept., March) - Latin America (Oct., April) - Equity Income (November, May) - Emerging Markets Europe & Med. (June, December)

I'm trying to get a 90/10 growth to value ratio and a 60/30/20 domestic largecap/foreign/small business ratio.  Those seem to be the best makeup percentages for how young I am.  I'm considering also the Emerging Markets Fund and the Global Stock Fund to possibly be subsituted in the lineup here. 

If you all have any comments or suggestions I'd definitely appreciate it.  Thanks in advance for the responses!
