Thanks again, Toofuzzy.
I am glad you were able to find the calculator and the site worked. I suggest downloading to your computer by cutting and pasting to an e mail. Then open the email and copy it to a file. I have found that worked. Then if the site is down you will have it.
I didn't really understand how to do what you suggested above. I copied the calculator website link and pasted it into an email to myself. But I wasn't clear about "copying it to a file". I assume you are trying to make it possible for people to have the calculator available locally on their computers in case the internet or the calculator website are down.
Since I will probably stick with Vanguard, I was looking at their Energy ETF (VDE) and their Materials ETF (VAW). They seem to be the two more volatile Vanguard ETFs. I wouldn't mind owning their SmallCap Growth ETF (VBK), but it didn't seem to be as volatile. I wouldn't mind owning any of these long term.
Any comments or advice on these ETFs, since you are a long time AIMer?
Just curious, approximately what percentage long time AIMers have in Cash at this point, with the market having gone up for quite awhile. I know that will vary depending on the time invested, the security, and the AIM settings. Just trying to get a feel.
I think I probably have enough information to get started. I just have to check with Vanguard to make sure my account is set up properly to allow trading, since I've been doing only Mutual Funds for quite awhile.
Thanks again for your excellent responses.
Lou
