Vanguard-Buy

Algorithm setup to determine proper spread of Vanguard ETF index funds and adjust with the downloaded vanguards transaction file. Current allocation:

The value depends on overall distribution. As in, 90% stock and 10% bond, then each percentation would be that fraction of the stock vs. bond distribution. The values above are stored within constants in the holdings source file and can be changed there. The default stock vs. bond distribution is 90 vs 10 for retirement accounts and 60 vs 40 for brokerage investment accounts. These can be changed through command line arguments. The algorithm is also setup to shift the riskiest assets to the roth accounts and the less risky assets to the traditional IRA accounts. This is donw to allow for the most growth to happen within the account which does not get taxed.
