Talk:Vanguard Financial Planning Services

This article is going to be hard to write, particularly when it comes to characterizing planners' typical recommendations. There are (as far as I'm aware) no publicly available guidelines published for Vanguard's planners, so any information we provide will necessarily be anecdotal. The best we can do, I suppose, is to link to a bunch of forum posts where folks reveal their Vanguard-generated Plans. Ken Schwartz 17:06, 28 May 2008 (EDT)


 * I think the Anecdotal Observations section will be the heart of the article. We just need to avoid total disregard of Wikipedia:Verifiability. Ken Schwartz 19:24, 28 May 2008 (EDT)


 * I think links to their generated portfolios are fine. PiperWarrior 20:18, 28 May 2008 (EDT)


 * I agree absolutely. I wasn't really clear in my statements. I think we have to be a little careful in making generalizations about the nature of Vanguard's plans, because we have no verifiable source for the planners' guidance. We can look at some client-reported plans and make inferences, but we probably shouldn't word any criticisms too strongly. Ken Schwartz 20:31, 28 May 2008 (EDT)
