Replace the municipal bond fund with a corporate fund such as Total Bond Market in tax-deferred; you pay an effective tax cost by holding munis.

Thanks David for getting back to me on this. Can y ...

I'm noticing a trend. Why not list all your funds and we'll rank them in order from most tax-inefficient to least tax-efficient.

Sure.

Taxable:
Vanguard Tax Managed Growth & Income (VTGIX) ...

To those who own the Vanguard Midcap Index Fund (VIMSX) or ETF (VO), do you have it in a taxable or tax-deffered account?

To those who own the Bridgeway Ultra Small Co. fund (BRSIX), do you own it in a taxable or tax-deffered account?

You also get to meet people from other parts of the world. On my Cosmos tour, half the group was from the US and the other half Austrailia. Very interesting conversations were had with the Aussies.

I took a Cosmos trip through the British Islands under two years ago. Cosmos did a good job but they didn't offer passes to all the tourist sites (just some). Globus does offer them. I also hear th ...

Good point -- I only buy ETFs and they do not reinvest dividends. Do the other brokers reinvest ETF dividends w/o charge?

TD Ameritrade does. I've stuck with them for over 5 years and hav ...

Question for former traders or those who like to trade with fun money: What's the highest the VIX can go?

I subscribe to Investor's Business Daily (IBD). I get the Monday edition with the Saturday morning paper and I read the Tuesday-Friday editions online (well, what's free on the website).

Take a look at Cosmos and Globus bus tours. I took the Cosmos tour and was quite happy (even though my butt was as flat as a pancake at some points). I highly recommend seeing the Ring of Kerry. Re ...

I'm still waiting for our state tax to drop down to 5%. We voted for it but the government hasn't given it to us.

I own the MA Muni fund (VMATX). This ballot question won't affect whether I buy o ...

Having skimmed the question booklet and talking with a couple of coworkers, I think this personal income tax applies only to trusts and plans similar to that. I don't think it applies to savings, div ...

In Dodge & Cox's latest semi-annual report, it reports having ~ 50% of their bonds in MBS. With Fannie and Freddie being bailed out, can someone explain what this will do to the MBS in their fund ...

For the past two weeks, I've been watching muni bond funds basically in free fall mode. With yields looking pretty good on a pre-tax basis, would it be wise to change your current asset allocation? ...

I have 10000 that I would like to put in my vanguard taxable account. I'm thinking of buying VTSMX......My questions is: Should I reinvest dividens & capital gains in taxable accounts or not?

I own 2 Dodge & Cox funds: DODFX and DODIX. Both are located in my Roth IRA. I'm pretty happy with them and don't plan on swapping out of them.

Rick,

Do you think Vanguard will liquidate any of their ETFs or can we count on them being around for a while (decades)?

Thanks,
Kevin

The refs do not throw games the Patriots way near the end of them. The Pats just know how to finish and other teams don't.

If I were a betting man, I'd take the under on the points spread. I thin ...

You do realize that Cliff is Cramer's nephew, right? I use to be in my 20s a couple of months ago and I don't give this kid the time of day with his articles. He's way off base, and has a rich uncle ...

I'd like to warn people that this fund increased their expense ratio from 1.45% to 1.56%. When I found that out, it didn't make me too happy. Since I couldn't purchase the Columbia Acorn Internation ...

I would put my stock picking approach into three categories: growth, value and dividend growth. As funny as it sounds, I don't own any dividend growth stocks yet because I haven't freed up money. I ...
