Cintas Corporation (CTAS)

Bar, For mid cap ETF exposure I went with VO, and will probably also be adding some VB to get additional small cap exposure. As a group, the mid / small companies have lagged for a long time, and even after the recent bounce they still look undervalued.

Btw, I'm still limited to 1 post / day on the other board, so will respond over here. Maybe in the new year my past transgressions with the I-Hub mods will be forgiven.

IJH looks like a good choice, and I see they match Vanguard's 0.05% expense ratio. I looked at their top 10 holdings, but wasn't familiar with many of them, and Vanguard's VO's top ten list had six stocks from my own 'Best Long Term Stocks' list, so I went with VO. I'm not a big fam of Blackrock in general, so haven't owned many of their ETFs, but comparing their long term performance, IJH has blown away VO, and also the QQQ. Very impressive, so I'll have to check them out further.

Looks like Cintas continues on its steady skyward course. It would be tough to find a better long term stock. Who needs tech stocks when there is CTAS :o)
