Buying Vanguard mutual fund through Vanguard or a Broker?

April 21st, 2010

I was planning on purchasing shares in Vanguard’s 2055 retirement mutual fund. However there is a 00 minimum initial deposit to start a fund.

Does this minimum still apply if I bought shares in the fund through a low-cost broker such as Tradeking that let me purchase individual funds and stocks? Or would this fund not be available through them?

If it is, would it make sense to buy it through them and avoid the fees associated with Vanguard?
Tradeking is .95 per trade. I don’t believe there are any other fees with them.

What is the best investment for your money?

April 6th, 2010

What is the best short term investment for one’s money with the highest return, with the lowest amount of risk? I’m invested in CD’s and they give a good interest rate and very skeptical of the stock market yoyo and not interested in the shaky housing market. But my question still remains and want to know what do you think would be the best investment, also thinking about foreign securities, but what do you think is a good investment and also for retirement long term too?
