Bond funds too, I did VTABX to BNDX last month
I'm not sure why I didn't do it years ago, maybe because bid/ask spreads on the ETF were crazy when it was new? I honestly can't remember.
will be interesting to see who follows suit

ACH transfer initiated through Vanguard. The Vanguard account is about 20 years old but the bank account is new (opened in December).
That got the job done. Long queue today but it's done.techbud wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 10:01 amHmnm, I just did the conversion by calling the main Vanguard phone number. I told the automated system I wanted "ETF conversion". It put me in a queue and they said they'd call me back in 20 minutes, which was accurate. The conversion was simple and mostly consisted of them reading out the terms and conditions.SSSS wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 8:19 amwhat number is this?

tricky question... the naive answer would be $0.66 (excluding cost of envelope), assuming a 50/1 split, but it might be more efficient to redo the manifests for a 39/12 split, which would put the 2nd envelope just under one ounce, potentially bringing down the postage on the first envelope.Steelersfan wrote: ↑Mon Dec 18, 2023 5:38 pm How much is it going to cost to send one manifest in it's own envelope?

For my non-upgraded account, the checks say Wachovia -- obviously I haven't had new checks printed in a while. The router number now resolves to Wells Fargo.Doc wrote:Hey guys do me a favor. Since you have Vanguard checks look up the bank they are drawn on and let us know what it is. It's just curiosity on my part. Maybe it's the First National Bank of Valley Forge.
Thank you for the information. Do you remember if the quotes you got were close to the current Ask price, or were they way off? Does it matter how much you're selling, like if it's just $3000, does anyone even bother to respond?Longdog wrote:I have done this numerous times. When you request a bid, the request gets sent to many external bond brokers, some of whom may choose to respond to the request. After about an hour and a half, Vanguard will present to you the best bid. At that time, you can choose to accept (sell) or reject (don't sell) the bid. Given that process, I'm pretty sure people are involved, both at Vanguard and elsewhere.
It will make the money market fund exempt from minimum balance limits. Sweep accounts can be opened with any amount, even $0 or $1, and be kept at any amount indefinitely.

Your settlement fund has no minimum balance requirement
They're probably trying to avoid creating a multitude of small tax lots.BL wrote:I am puzzled because I tell V to withdraw money directly from checking to go into a mutual fund. Haven't used the automatic investment. I did use the MM at one time, but then I learned (or they changed) that I no longer needed that funded but could withdraw directly from bank account or CU account.
Should be 4PM the next day. Mutual funds are only priced at market close; it's not possible for a mutual fund transaction to take place any other time.Investment101 wrote:got a question it says orders placed before 4pm EST you will be able to buy that day's funds, after 4 it will be next day but what time does it buy it? as soon as market opens? or I guess when the ACH transaction goes through?

These points seem contradictory. If the majority are currently financially irresponsible and unable to practice delayed gratification, what makes you think they'd suddenly all become responsible, prudent, and forward-thinking in a deflationary environment?people would stop purchasing things.
