Favorite Brokerage?

[rayray]

Originally, I used Fidelity (401k plan and brokerage account) and Vanguard (ROTH IRA account). I used these accounts for years.

Within the last year or so I set up a brokerage account with Vanguard. I had my ROTH IRA and a brokerage account with Vanguard and my 401k plan and a brokerage account with Fidelity. As time went on I used Vanguard more and more, not only for investing but also for stock research, while my Fidelity brokerage account became idle. I've always been a fan of Vanguard and using them over the years only makes me like them that much more as an investor. It got to a point that I closed my Fidelity brokerage account and transferred the funds to my Vanguard brokerage account and I've been extremely happy with that decision. The brokerage fees were close concerning stock purchases: Vanguard $7 per trade and Fidelity $7.95 per trade. Obviously, mutual fund investing would vary.

As it stands now:

Vanguard has my ROTH IRA and brokerage accounts.

Fidelity has my 401K plan account, the brokerage account was closed.



Eventually, all my accounts excluding my credit union will be with Vanguard.

I'm trying to reach the $2 per trade goal with Vanguard! : )
