Less Wrong Product & Service Recommendations

lukeprog

I have often benefited from recommendations for Things I Didn't Know I Wanted.

Given that Less Wrong is a community of unusually intelligent, critical, and self-improvement-focused people, I suspect we can generate a pretty helpful thread of product recommendations — perhaps even a monthly thread of product recommendations.

Rules:

Post one product your recommend per comment, so they can be discussed and voted on independently.
Provide a link for purchasing the product.
No books, movies, TV, games, or music. (These should go in other threads, like this one or this one.)

I'll post my own recommendations to the comments section, too.

Vanguard 500 Index Fund

Index funds are the best way to invest in the stock market because they offer cheap diversification. Beware, however, sometimes funds labeled as index funds really aren't.

Vanguard? It's all about the XSLV PowerShares S&P SmallCap Low Volatility Portfolio. Check out that performance.

(Warning: contains a naive request for free advice. Feel free to ignore.) I may be "retiring" from the Canadian public service, with a bit of a cash buyout and (I assume) some of the money from my pension fund. Is this something I could consider?

Thoughts on this compared to the Vanguard target date retirement funds?
