    at

    Pros: 1) I’m used to their platform. It seems simple. 2) Trade Vanguard funds at no charge Cons: 1) We have had a dispute over $2,500 for almost a year without being able to get it resolved. Vanguard continues to tell us what we did wrong and we can’t get anyone to listen long enough to get them to investigate from our pov 2) System seems slow and is frequently down 3) Numbers always settle in Vanguard’s favor

    at

    I like the price for trades. They are easy to work with.

  51. Robert Stranix says

    at

  52. Ronald Hugh says

    at

    Do an excellent job at whatever I require of them.

  53. Robert says

    at

    If you have 500k in Vangusrd funds, then the first 25 trades in a year are free, and only $2 per trade after that. So, index your first half million or so, and then trade.

  54. Robert Wiles says

    at

    I use Vangusrd and use their index funds for about 1/2 of my portfolio, which then makes my commissions very low, $2.

  55. Raymond Bomben says

    at

    No recent email response to my questions from Vanguard. Although, on one high-five’r for Vanguard — their software program related to a customer’s account pertaining to navigation and migration is efficient.

  56. Nelson Coluzzi says

    at

    To purchase stocks the price is right. Good reports, good research info. Not much bad about Vanguard Brokerage.

    at

    $7 trades for 1st 25 trades for accounts up to $50k trades become cheaper with more $ you have in account.

  59. Robert Sheridan says

    at

    Resonable comish, Very good account services, good research, website better than avg.

  60. Martha says

    at

    Pros are price and website.

  61. Robert Burkhart says

    at

    Well organized Web site. Their mutual fund expense fees are among the lowest in the industry. They do not charge commissions on the purchase/redemption of their funds or ETF’s and commissions on external funds, stocks and ETF’s are competitive with other on-line brokers. Calls to customer service are answered promptly and professionally.

  62. Roger Brooks says

    at

    Great costs for buying and selling stocks and funds.

  63. Dave Carey says

    at

    I love their low-cost mutual funds but I really think they have to improve on their commissions. $20 per trade is just too high nowadays.

  64. David says

    at

    I didn’t realize that after 25 trades the rate jumps up to $20! You can get up to 25 trades pretty quickly so Vanguard is just too expensive. I’m looking at my options for 2011 now.

  65. Bud Clement says

    at

    My account is over 500,000 and my cost to trade is $2.00 It may vary with account value but 2 bucks is dirt cheep (sic.)
