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.

At what cost compared with where those $250k sit now?
-Fees
-Investment options--stocks, bonds, options, derivatives, etc
-Regulation T interpretation
-Customer service--including how often it needs to be tapped


No fees.
Has all usual investments for IRAs i.e. stocks, bonds, their ETFs, options. I don't think it has futures or OTC derivatives. I don't care about the latter in a retirement account and I think 99% on this board won't either.
No clue what Reg T is and don't care.

Customer service is a good point. Spotty so far. And online account transfer (full and partial) doesn't work. That's a hassle you have to weigh against the free $700. OTOH you are not married to it. Fund the account within 45 days, leave money in for 90 more, collect $700, then transfer again to friendly websites like Fidelity. Up to you.
