It is self adjusting. Good luck!
Intelligent Portfolio
So far I have been in for a week and a half and my performance is +32.48%. How does this compare for the last 1.5 weeks using other stuff, I wonder? I am curious how I do at/by the end of one year. Part of this was just an experiment to see how bright I really am at this "game".
You cannot use one week and a half to base judgement on anything, let alone the markets.
The Schwab suggestion is excellent.

Congrats on your outstanding gain.
If you could replicate this over time, or even half of this, you would be the greatest stock picker in history!
Seriously, there is no formula, no 1 strategy, no super analyst, no set of super computer algorithms that win all the time.
I suggest a long term strategy; such a strategy will give you a good chance to be quite successful over the long run.
The Schwab Intelligent product is really good for new investors with perhaps $5K to $50K to work with.
As time and your $$ goes up, you will disgard this type of product and replace it with a more personal set of investments.
You will pay for these, hopefully with low load funds.
You can also pick stocks on your own. Many people who have posted here seem to do this. I don't.
Good luck!
I just wanted to drop $2500 into it to play with. If I lose it, oh, well. If I make money, WHOOooo!!!!! Maybe when I'm not a peon someday and can actually invest in a 401K and have the company match it or whatever and put real money into it, I will go with a more professional approach. This was just a fun gamble for me, and I agree 100% that an actively managed EFT > Me. I wanted to yank the handle, though, ya know? If I lose all my money, that would suck, but I won't be really upset about it. A retirement fund or life savings? Yeah, that warrants much more care and caution.
Don't get me wrong, I am smart enough to know I dunno what I am doing, but I am interested in trying it. If I succeed wildly, well, cool! So far here is how it do for me:
The "1 stocks" are free stocks I got for sharing the app with others.
*The below is NOT ADVICE, it is simply sharing what I did and how it's turned out. You do you. I am NOT giving specific advice, just to be clear, by posting this:
