Title: Good "10k growth charts"
Post by: FerrumB5 on January 06, 2016, 05:30:47 PM: Hi Folks,

suggest a good resource to view multiple 10k growth charts?
Google finance offers a price chart only, Vanguard graphs are quite ugly and work for their own funds only, Morningstar growth graphs are quite ugly as well (but they serve the purpose).

Thanks!

What are your criteria for "good"?

I'm getting the impression that they should have the functionality of M*'s charts but not be ugly.

Personally I don't think they're ugly.

GGNoob - can you give an example of something simple that can be simulated?
P.S. I changed my mind on M* - it does its job.

(I'm still uncertain about one of my 401k choices PABGX that seems to grow pretty good in long run but has 0.98% ER)

The price of any mutual fund or ETF already takes into account the expense ratio.
