I was very sad this morning to see an email from vanguard with the subject of "Are actively managed funds right for you?"

Am I over reacting?

hey I am a minimalist or at least strive to be, thanks for this thread I had no idea I was one!

mine is a torrent downloader (transmission-daemon) and nas (samba). Most consumer grade nas products are garbage so being able to make one for $35 plus an external USB drive is pretty fantastic. And it only takes 2 watts and doesn't boot from a spinning disk, so it's way better than an old PC sitti...

Legion, I've been thinking of purchasing one of these myself. I have a few questions. What distro of Linux does it use? I am comfortable with using Debian, so I hope Debian can be installed.

Thanks I wish there was a bogle minded investment firm in the SF bay area and I could just jump under their umbrella with all my contacts.

I am not sure if any Bogleheads would pay fees of 1% of assets. Bogleheads wouldn't need to, but maybe to the people he is trying to help the 1% fee could be well worth it. Who else would give them such good advice? Better to pay 1% for a passive advisor than 2.5% for a sleezy broker. Thanks that's...

Here is what I ended up doing

moved 50% of tbm into 25% stig and 25% itig this gave me the exposure to corp I wanted and brought my average duration down by a small amount.

thanks this is great info I would be curios to see that chart with short term investment grade vs tbm... 1) Well, if you're curious, go look at it. Read this: http://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/How_to_use_Morningstar_growth_charts 2) Ignore your Google chart, because it is a price chart, not a growth ch...

I am a custodial parent my son lives with me 50% of the time, but HR block told me I need to be HOH to able to deduct child care spent when my son was with me during the summer on day camp while I was at work.

ok I understand % and head of household now its down to this, does one need to be HOH to claim child care expenses as a deduction?

I am divorced and have my son 50% of the time, his mother and I alternate head of household every other year. On the years she is claiming HOH can I claim summer camp I paid for as a deduction if she is ok with that?

Thanks

Any reason to wait for he march issue?

I am considering moving 10k of my bond holdings to ibonds given that interest rates are so low and I like the idea of inflation protection and no chance of losing my initial investment. Any downside?
