Scott, these were/are the 3 funds I was holding.

Fidelity Freedom Fund 2045 (FFFGX) 10YR--8.63%
Spartan Total Market Index Investor Class (FSTMX) 10YR-+23.73%
Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund (VGTSX) 10YR-42.13%

I dumped the FFFGX & VGTSX funds due to lack of performance. I held onto the FSTMX fund because its held steady and is up 33.59% since purchasing in 8/23/2010. I also looked at the top 10 holdings in the fund and realized if I had purchased these outside of the fund I'd be well ahead. However, I didn't want to get ahead of myself and sell everything in my portfolio just to start fresh so I eliminated the under performers and added some stocks that have helped my portfolio continue a steady climb. The more I read this thread the more confidence I gain and the more I feel comfortable with my investment choices.

I would just like to THANK everyone that has contributed to this thread.
