Was hoping for some insight from people who know more than I do... the important stuff: I'm a 29-year old single male, and I have plenty of financial security. I plan on holding these funds for a long while hopefully, barring any unforeseen circumstances. Because I'm young [for now], I'd like to be somewhat risky.
1) I was going to invest in three mutual funds - VGHCX, VPMAX, and VHCAX. However, the second two are closed now, and so I don't think I'd be able to get into the admiral fund versions. Even if I could, the expense ratios are still higher than their ETF equivalents. I know about POGRX being basically the same as VPMAX, but the expense ratio on that is also higher. So, would it be a bad idea for me to just go all ETFs? [As a side note, I just realized I can't even find an equivalent Vanguard ETF for VPMAX...]
2) Can you automatically reinvest dividends/interest with ETFs? I've read conflicting descriptions.
3) Is my choice of funds (or their ETF equivalents) too unbalanced? I'm looking at their 1, 5, 10, and 15 year annualized returns at they seem like they've all been quite solid. Should I be putting some weight into Vanguard's S&P 500 index fund instead?
I really appreciate the help guys! Learning as much as I can right now.
