Robo-advisors

Also who designed these algorithms? I doubt Schwab has internal computer scientists.

It would be more fun and you'd be better off by using R with quantmod to get some ETF data and running a portfolio weighting optimization yourself.

'Cause that's free and advisory (robo or human) is not.

Who are these rich people. The article says most 100k+ in the accounts with average around 1M. I wouldn't consider these people rich at all. Especially considering the current half-life of Money.

Personally I measure my money to the PPP of 1933 which was the strongest Dollar in History.

That sounds difficult and easy to fuck up. How would I go about getting started and how much time/effort would I have to put in to maintain it?
