Excellent book.

Buffett recommends putting 90% in an S&P 500 index fund. He specifically identifies Vanguard’s S&P 500 index fund. Vanguard offers both a mutual fund (VFIAX) and ETF (VOO) version of this fund. He recommends the other 10% of the portfolio go to a low cost index fund that invests in U.S. short term government bonds

I prefer a bit more tech and small/mid cap exposure than just the S&P 500 but prob 50% or more In S&P500 index for nearly everyone is good

“Buffett recommends putting 90% in an S&P 500 index fund.”

well, i suppose that’s all well and good, but that is NOT how Buffet made HIS fortune ... an even BETTER investment approach followed by many was simply to buy Berkshire Hathaway shares and hold them ...
