The largest companies
Which ETFs hold a stock?
The funds with the biggest weight in a company, and the ones holding the most dollars of it, from their latest SEC holdings reports.
What makes these pages different
Facts from filings, not memory
Holdings, fees, risks and financials come from the SEC filings themselves, with the filing date shown. AI writes the explanations only from those facts, and every draft is checked before it is published.
The whole price history
Every page charts the price with dividends reinvested against the S&P 500, from one month to the full history, with calendar-year returns, dividends by year and a risk summary.
Honest about bad years
Every page shows how the fund did in 2008, the 2020 crash and the 2022 bear market, and who should look elsewhere.
Always dated
Every number carries an as-of date, and pages refresh as new filings and prices arrive, so nothing quietly goes stale.
Picking funds is the easy part
ReadyAimRetire shows whether your whole plan works, with your accounts, Social Security, taxes and spending, year by year.
