re: VTSMX vs RALSX

I hear you. Just trying to make the best decision to grow my money man. Guess I should read up a bit more and maybe consult with an advisor before making a move. RALSX returns are just so pitiful. I feel like my 401k is a glorified savings account with an employer match. Any suggestions on something a little safer that VTSMX but with better returns than RALSX?

You should take our advice with a grain since it's an internet message board. That being said, you're 25. You have plenty of time to recover if another 08-09 year occurs. It's shot up 9.2% over the last 3 weeks after the big dip we had a month ago. It will go up and down. If the total stock market doesn't recover from an occurrence like that, what can do? No one knows the future. I just converted my VTSMX into admiral shares (VTSAX). My plan is to branch out to bonds and other stuff after I build up a good chunk of VTSAX first.

Take a look at balanced funds.
