Seriously. Target funds if you're lazy or a three fund portfolio you rebalance every couple of years. Don't need software for that

Shades of Parkinson's Law [1], along with the idea that more effort is more valuable than less effort. Sometimes, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

I bet we would could reduce US capital market trading to four days a week and still arrive at a similar outcome wrt efficient price discovery and liquidity windows, tangentially [2].
