If you have enough money you could invest in some of the sectors that make up the S+P 500 instead which will give you a little more volatility. If not, dont worry, inthe next crash you will get plenty of time to buy more shares. Look at what happened in 2003 and 2008 -2009.

Hi Kh, IVE is not a bad choice for a core portfolio with very low expense ratio, but it's not volatile. If you look at the chart with ZigZag analysis on stockcharts.com you need a hold zone of at most 20%, which is at most SAFEs of 5% with 5% min trade. At 20% ZigZag you get 3 points over the last few years which means 3 trades. You can try decreasing SAFE even more.
