Welcome Marv, It sounds like you're off to a good start. This has become a pretty good source for info relative to the Lichello method of Playing in the Investment Sandbox! As long as the kitty cats don't play in there as well, we seem to all do pretty well.
We look forward to hearing of your ideas and experiences.
Hi Marv, I think it's wise of you to use AIM with ETFs. AIM and low cost ETFs go hand in hand. I find I need to lower my SAFEs with ETFs to less than 5% to keep the hold zone 16-20% and allow for some action.
Congrats on your retirement that's fantastic! My wife has been retired 4 years now, and I'll be 3 years retired next month. Glad to hear you have chosen AIM, and AIM like strategies to manage your funds. I too have the same software and it's quite handy to use. Welcome to the AIM board! There's lots of great people here with tons of experience. So join right in with all of us. Best regards...
