Just buy aapl if you are looking for a high risk investment with your money. Its down 30% from three months ago. Maybe you can get that 30% back in your timeframe. Conversely, maybe you'll lose 30%.

I'll let some others commet on everything as a whole, but my recommendation would be to put as much as you can into the Roth TSP rather than putting money aside for a separate Roth IRA since the TSP is so much cheaper than any option you will have for the IRA. Once you are able to max out the TSP th...

Have you considered the military? You would likely get paid full time while in school and get to keep all of your savings. Its a great option for some people and maybe not as much for others. If you havent thought about it before, I'd at least look into it as a possibility and maybe set up a meeting...

Yesterday I transferred $10,500 into the Vanguard 500 Admiral Index(VFIAX). The share price was $134.46 giving me 78.090 shares. This equates to $10,499.9814. Today the balance shows $10499.98 with $10,500 transferred into the account and a loss of $0.02. I'm just curious what Vanguard does with thi...

if you want to tie up $5000 monthly, why not use the mango prepaid card that pays 6% on the $5000? it only has a $5 monthly fee which gives it a 4.8% effective yield on the money you have deposited, not what you spend.

Two no brainers as far as I can tell: 1) Put $10K (the maximum) in the Savings Deposit Program as quickly as you can once you deploy. Guaranteed 10% return. 2) Maximize contributions to TSP while deployed. It's pre-tax money going in, the TSP funds are excellent, and all funds contributed while dep...

I've read most of the threads on here pertaining to the military and hadn't noticed any mention to the SCRA so I just wanted to put this out there for the fellow Bogleheads in the military. The SCRA caps interest rates on all debts you have while on active duty at 6%. Can be applied to all types of ...

You should look into a VA rate reduction(streamline). They can be done without an appraisal and usually with very little or no closing costs out of pocket. You should be able to get down to around 3.25% for the VA 30 year and your costs would be quite a bit less than if you went with an entirely new...

I've been looking at the Vanguard REIT Funds holdings and was just wondering in anyone knows why they don't have companies with the really large dividends (10-15%) such as American Capital (AGNC) or Annaly (NLY) in the fund. I know REITs are quite volatile, but it seems like most of the holdings in ...

The best place I ever found to buy individual stocks from was Sogotrade. I have used their site for the last couple years, although not using it much anymore since I decided to get out of the individual stocks. They only charge $3 per trade and no annual fees or anything. I did quite a bit of lookin...

Hello All, I've been reading on this site for the past month or so and recently decided/begun moving all my assets to Vanguard. I had always been quite frustrated that I had to pay 1.35% expense ratio on my money and had no idea there were places like Vanguard where I could the same product for 10% ...
