#24If this is about index funds specifically, that is definitely not clear. If anything I think this is NOT about index funds, but individual stocks. Index funds are basically set it and forget it, so why would I want to continuously use this app? Just buy some $SCHB, $SPY, $VTI, or whatever combo of index funds you want and that's it. Daytraders, swing traders, and people buying individual stocks would want to use an app on the regular.

#25Warren Buffet tells his heirs to go 90% SP500 and 10% Bonds. So just buy VOO and BND, rebalance yearly and you are done.
OR do a 3 fund portfolio like: https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Three-fund_portfolio
OR buy a target retirement fund from Vanguard: https://investor.vanguard.com/search/?query=Vanguard%20targe...
OR fill out a risk profile on Wealthfront/Betterment and invest there.
Bottom line is pick an approach and don't ever touch a damn thing.
I believe this advice can fit on a single web page and doesn't need an app, a community or otherwise.

#27I like the idea.... why should I trust you for financial advice? How are you licensed? How do I know you're not using my data for trading, How do I know you're not feeding me false data you've already traded on?
Good question. We don't give financial advice. The app allows you to make a simple index fund portfolio with stock data, then monitor other user portfolios if you want. You can discuss indexing with other index fund investors in the "discuss" area. Our other account got rate limited and says "you are submitting too fast" so we made this one.
Is this social motif?

I'm opposed to your Wealthfront suggestion since their version of high risk (at least in the past) meant high commodities exposure.

Good info! Sorry, our accounts keep getting rate limited.
I personally like to follow my own index fund portfolio. Then when I first started index investing there was about a 90 day period where I had to research and figure out what I wanted my own portfolio to be.
Also index funds do change over time. For example if you have more taxable income you will want a more tax advantaged index fund portfolio. You'll also want a special portfolio for your retirement accounts, and maybe something for your kid's 529 plan, etc...
There are many popular index fund communities for these reasons, plus lots of people find investing fun and interesting and like to learn more about it and help others.

Just because something is fun and interesting doesn't make it any better of an investment. You are passing the novice buck onto others
