TD Ameritrade matching Schwab new fees. That was fast.

I'm with both, but my last equity trade was commission free thanks to Schwab's ETFs.
Which makes me wonder..

When TD Ameritrade took over Scottrade, I quit my account. I HATED TD and their platform.
Scottrade was the best I've ever seen and their Java applet for real time quotes was incredible. I had immediate executions on trades, their bank account tied to my Visa card was second to none and better than most banks, and easy to get my money in and out of their account.

Which might be bad for overall price efficiency if all the money pours in to indexed ETFs.

Etrade is now down to zero. I just need Fidelity to do it now, and I'll be golden.

Can anyone recommend a budgeting app w/drag and drop capability? We were using EveryDollar from Dave Ramsey and loved it. Problem is, my little credit union isn't letting us connect to the app any longer.
The great feature with it was a drag and drop function to move each transaction over to the category in the budget it went with. Any other apps like that?

I thought they might hold out a while and see if it hurt them much. Both Fidelity and Vanguard make a lot through corporate retirement accounts. Maybe they'd collected enough feedback already from ppl willing to transfer |

What's worth putting 2500 on right now? This is a my small portfolio right now should I just add on to one of these or buy something else? And should I keep FBIOX? It's been pretty shitty lately after going going up at the beginning of the year. I'm a novice when it comes to all of this so please dumb down your advice for me lol.

So you have both the Fidelity and Vanguard total market funds. Not sure why, but whatever. Beyond that, you have a sector specific fund (biotech) and a few random stocks.
I personally like index mutual funds (or ETFs) unless you really plan to work the market -- track your stocks, figure out when it might be a good time to sell any specific stock, etc. Most of us aren't going to do that, which means that getting a wide range of stocks via a mutual fund or ETF makes sense. I would probably invest the money in a 500 index fund, or ETF. I'm not much of a fan of sector funds unless you've done your homework on it. Your portfolio just doesn't seem large enough to dabble in quite that way. Rain Man and I quite like investing in dividend yielding stocks. There are several you could consider. We both like MPW, which is a REIT (and therefore required to distribute most profits via dividends) which owns property rented by medical professionals (a field not likely to shrink in the near future, unlike malls). MPW is at the top of the range for its price over the last year, however, so it's not cheap at the moment or anything. Hope this helps (or at least gives you some options to research and consider).

When I get some time today I'll try to do more than my usual 15 minutes of reading up on MPW. And as far as stocks vs funds, yeah I'm not interested at all in buying and selling and trying to time markets. Just want to put money in and see a steady return. |
