I think my basic question is....
how do you define the Vanguard MM Prime fund as the target for any kind of ABA/ACH transaction
which requires a specific bank routing number + account number
since there is nothing related to the required "bank routing number" ?

I have Schwab for my brokerage account to handle my stocks, along with it's companion Schwab MM fund, which is treated as an online checking account. I have Vanguard for most of my mutual funds.... and the Prime MM fund as a parking place. How, or can I, exchange money from my Schwab checking accoun...

Pretty sure this one won't work. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ED14Glw0ujE/UKunZ0D3rmI/AAAAAAAAAPU/GDFffzMLqQo/s1600/041028mcmahonvmed930awitn1.jpg Actually - if the amount was $10k or less - it really wouldn't matter on the physical size. Since you are taking a PHOTO of it, the full screen image would...

Do you mean physical size, or amount size ?
I was just reading the FAQ on the Vanguard Mobile info - and the amount limit is $10k -

Back to the financial task at hand.... I've sold some stock over in my Schwab account, and have about $20k sitting in my Vanguard MM fund - waiting to be exchanged into... At this point, it really is hard to choose between some of the existing Vanguard bond funds, and with the equity world showing g...

I do this all the time. I write "Pay to the order of the Vanguard Group - 0030" (0030 is the fund # for the Money Market Fund) Underneath I write "Tom and Sally Jones Account" (not our actual names, but you get the point) Underneath I sign my name, or if the check is written to ...

ok... basic dumb question regarding checks. If I receive a check, is there any way to properly endorse it and then deposit it into our Vanguard MM account ? ie - the physical check is mailed to me, I turn it over and endorse it somehow, and then I physically mail it to Vanguard MM. OR - do I have to...

At the very top of the entire wiki article - your very first line - Suggest you make it underline & bold - and add the word "pasting" as that means more than the word "including" - ----- ie - The Bogleheads forum does not have any built-in facilities for pasting images direct...

As I mentioned in the posting just above - it's not getting the image, that's the simple part -
it's having to host it externally since the forum editing software doesn't handle a direct PASTE of the image itself.

I just stumbled across this problem again - I think there are two major points that are overlooked... in the wiki and other forum info - the M* charts are actually TWO web elements - #1 - the chart graphic is in PNG format with a linkable URL #2 - the chart legend is plain text layered above the ima...

I'd like a suggestion on how to post charts from the M* website ? the actual chart is a PNG graphic, and you could use a URL to point to the chart, except - the legends are not part of that image, as they are just plain text above the chart framing. SO - I have done a screen capture, edit and crop t...

Since the chart is a graphic, and the legends are not part of it, but just text, it is not a simple URL link pointer... SO - I did a screen capture, then crop, then save it to my local drive - but then couldn't see a way to PASTE it back from my local drive.... I could copy it to my clipboard, but c...

In looking at the M* charts - I have also added my Pimco BOND etf - BOND - In this scenario, it appears that BOND does a better return than the the other funds.... and it shows that VBMFX is almost flat at the bottom of the chart - Yel - Vanguard VWINX - Org - Pimco BOND etf - Grn - Vanguard VWESX -...

For me - the mutual fund is not reactive enough to track the "emerging" economies... Still high percentage in the lagging countries, and single digit percentages in the TIMP/MIST countries. So - for me, I haven't jumped into the mutual fund, but rather buy specific country ETF's directly.....

VXUS is about 17% emerging markets ER of .18% Yeah - as I mentioned, I have the actual Total International Stock Index mutual fund VGTSX (vs the VSUX ETF), so I'm covered overall, was just commenting on the landscape of the Emerging Markets and how it shifts over time.... like now with South Korea....

The Emerging Market landscape seems to shift as their economies mature, and stability becomes the norm. And now comes - TIMP - Turkey, Indonesia, Mexico and the Philippines - (South Korea no longer considered "emerging") I don't have the Emerging Market mutual fund, but did buy the country...

Well, it appears that another country related acronym has popped up - focusing on those emerging countries. The first was BRIC - Brazil, Russia, India, China Next, some focus on the MIST countries - Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea and Turkey and now comes - TIMP - Turkey, Indonesia, Mexico and the Ph...

well - today is Tuesday, and the bonds are out -

The other thing I was wondering, and was going to post a thread, but found this previous thread....
It will be interesting to see if the Apple bonds start showing up in various mutual funds....

and yeah - I have quite a bit of AAPL from the 1980's -

Certainly is down now - I had bought some gold 1oz American Eagles & the entire series of silver 1oz American Eagles from http://www.apmex.com/ (they are out of stock, or way too expensive over spot now), along with the orig/classic St. Gaudens gold coin the current ones are based upon. Was thin...

Wasn't there an episode of The Good Wife -
where they are representing the founder of "Bitcoins" - and the Gov is after them for creating it... ???
I think they even used the term "Bitcoins", maybe before they actually came out - or maybe after, as an interesting tie in.

Just stumbled across this thread - as the subject line caught my eye... I happen to have thse - sort of - VBMFX - total bond VIPSX - TIPS VWESX - LT Corp vs the High Yield VWEHX I was looking at the portfolio of my VWESX compared to the (closed) VWEHX and it seemed that the Long Term Inv Grade fund ...

There's also probably a fixed annual or semi-annual charge of like $25 for handling your account.. just like with an IRA.

Have been working with our TurboTax software for filing our 2012 taxes, and I will owe a little for this year.... Is there any "due date" for the actual tax payment vs the April 15 due date for filing the 1040 forms ? ie - will upload the TurboTax data sometime this week - 4/9 - and then m...

So, it just will sit there.... I'm guessing we can't "add" any more money to the account, since that would normally happen via the payroll deduction conduit. Since the 403b and the IRA are both at Fidelity, can it be rolled or added to the existing IRA account - retaining the same mutual f...

Now for 2012 tax filing she received a 1099-R for a distribution of $2000 HUH ? I think you may be confused on the whole IRA concept....

This was the first year where we had a lot of divs and cap gains in my taxable Schwab account that resulted in about $60k of reported income.... 1/3 divs and 1/3 cap gains on selling Apple stock. Over the years, we had been buying the solid div paying stocks, along with growth, etc.... (not junk or ...

SO - I finally filled out the paperwork for the Fidelity 403b, and just mailed it back... Don't really need the extra retirement funding, this is more to reduce our taxable income by 10% I picked the Fidelity Puritan fund as a starting point - FPURX - Seemed like an easy blend - 60/40 - stocks/bonds...
