The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

" Good morning, why leave out Vanguard as a potential firm to open your account?

Vanguard is a P.I.T.A. to do much of anything."


Really? An old friend was widowed last year. At Schwab we have to move $$ monthly from her settlement account into her MMF, is that a PITA? At Vanguard my MMF is my settlement account. The yield I get on my Vanguard MMF in my settlement account is always higher than at Fido etc. That cash is used to secure puts I'm short. Over 30 years that .30 % additional yield has added up. I watch my fills at Vanguard very closely. I watch her fills at Schwab, good luck.
