Hotwings, I have been waiting for you… I could not find a "Hotwings Account Talk"...Mind sharing your strategy on investing in Vanguard ETF’s in your IRA? Do you stay fully invested or keep some powder dry for dips, etc? Which Vanguard ETF’s do you like? Are you up or down YTD? By how much? Do you have to wait 3 business days to settle before buying again when you’re fully invested? Do you find Vanguard’s site easy to use? Do you buy any ETF’s that mimic the C, S, I, G and F funds? If so, what are they? If you rolled over a certain amount of your TSP into a traditional IRA each month would you invest any differently than you do now? I opened accounts with Vanguard and am rolling over a certain amount into a traditional and then over into a Roth monthly. I am taking Birchtree’s advice on “gentle rollovers” into the IRA and will buy ETF’s and a few dividend paying stocks. No margin accounts. Any info you care to share would be appreciated. Would appreciate hearing from anyone who would like to share their thoughts. Thanks.Bank Stocks... Hey BT, I know you like the bank/financial stocks for the long term. What do you think about adding some BAC and GS?
I'm thinking about picking up a few shares for 1-2 yrs down the road...
Hey Mista,
Yes, I have to wait 3 days to settle with Vanguard but I only pay $2 per trade which is nice. I have sold and bought on the same day successfully as both transactions settled at the same time.
Thanks for the reply. At this time, I pay $7.00 per trade for non-Vanguard products. Perhaps because I have a small balance. So, are you saying that if I am fully invested, I can sell a stock or ETF and immediately buy another without waiting (on the same day) as long as I don't obligate funds that were never in the account? On the other side, are you saying that I can buy and sell the same stock the same day, without waiting for settlement? So far, I have only bought VDE, VHT and SLV. Will add more during most months.
You can immediately buy a stock B with funds from the sale of stock A IF you the funds that purchased stock A have "settled" (3 business days).So, are you saying that if I am fully invested, I can sell a stock or ETF and immediately buy another without waiting (on the same day) as long as I don't obligate funds that were never in the account?
Maybe, if you have settled funds to purchase it... (see above)On the other side, are you saying that I can buy and sell the same stock the same day, without waiting for settlement?
My simple plan is to get rich.
Then the Gov't will give it to you know who!:nuts:And the government's plan is to take as much of it as it can...![]()
Nice kick save on the I fund yesterday. The paltry 10% I have there was enough to keep me in the green.
