Who is buying a boat?
Howdy all. This morning as I was on my Vanguard acct I noticed that the minimum bond purchase will be 10 starting Sept 13. I don't like to buy that many at a time usually for diversification purposes. I guess I will be increasing my preferred allocation to pick up some of the slack. I currently own BACPRB and EICB. Your thoughts on others would be appreciated. Thanks.
The trick with Fidelity is to get past the first layer of humans to the trading desk equivalent people. I find first level advisors don’t even get back with me. Frustrating but really don’t need them
I made a move into small caps last week. The past two days the RUT is up 5%. Crazy.
Those of us in the industry knew that two years ago. The bankruptcy was no surprise.
Any company that has a -17% operating margin, which is what they had before bankruptcy, is not long for this world.
Was the Gov decision to prevent merger with JetBlue wrong ?
I have our HSA's with Schwab and I like them OK. Vanguard's bond quotes are a little better. Schwab also won't allow you to hold funds in a MMF as a clearing account. Fidelity is not an option for me. Their estate dept ruined that.
I think so - by itself, Spirit had a very limited customer base, and limited markets, and those areas were impacted by recent economic events.
With a merger, and access to larger markets and a larger customer base, I think Spirit would have had a chance. JB has a bigger network, much more active customer base, I even saw one of their 321s in London the other day, and the combined resources of both companies (operating similar aircraft, which streamlines integration) would have a chance to be competitive.
I don’t think Spirit will make it and Jet Blue is struggling as well. Year over year, JB has very slim margins.
Not a good place to be.
Yeah, what happened to you is sad, sucks they lost a customer. Sad because their bond trading is so easy.
I've been with Fidelity since 1988. Never really any mistakes or even gripes beyond petty. Before they got so huge, they were much better. An example just a couple weeks ago, I posted in this very thread. I asked this first person below a question, never responded. It was a minor thing, not a problem. No response. Odd!
I had a Vanguard account and hated dealing with them, brokerage no good. I closed it. I have bought as few a five bonds, so that limit would bother me.
I've had Robinhood and other small accounts too, no problem. Schwab has some of my money too, don't know about their bond desk, limits, I don't trade there anymore, used to YEARS ago.
I trade bonds thru my Schwab HSA's. They have no minimum it just depends on the ask minimums of the dealers. Some are 10, some are 25, and some are 1. Vanguard has always been the same til now. I liked trading at Fidelity the back offices were the problem. Interactive Brokers is another option I used in the past when I was trading. Their bid/ask algo was great. But back then I was trading commodity spreads, currencies, options, stocks, and bonds. I haven't done that in 15 years though. I don't think fast enough anymore. I may look into their IRA's again. I've been with Vanguard since 1982 but their brokerage does leave some to be desired. It's better than it used to be.

Did a repeat and wash, PLTR tumbled earlier >$173. And ran back up. I hooked my buddy up on the fall by waking him up, he did good and didn't reamed me but thanked me
The WRK is now day trading as i hooked her up with some penny stocks and the rules of the game.
I gave her a cheat sheet...

Witched Friday. I had some calls expire worthless by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin. Been raking the cash selling those. I had one in the money and some AI clown executed hours early, the rest of the share would execute COB today anyway, nice premium, nice gains, nice dividends all pocketed. And since the agency bonds were called earlier this week, I need some stuffs. I did buy a little today. This all in tax deferred accounts. No action in taxed accounts.

Fake news? IRS can't conjure up a stimy check, it needs to be passed by Congress. If they did they would all be out bragging about it already.Stimulus Ca$h on the way for millions of Americans.
