OK, but my point (not clearly made) was that the post just gave some random info with no indication of whether it was different for ETFs vs mutual fund or not, which kind of seemed (to me) to imply that it might somehow different.I'd like to know everything I can about the difference between the two, including the fact there may be little difference in some cases.
But, whatever. I started following the thread because I want to take some CG losses in VG Total International (admiral) and buy back after the wash period and when VG allows me to buy back in. Wondering if I should buy the ETF then instead of the MF, but I'm not seeing any difference important to me. I guess with the ETF, in the future I wouldn't have the buy back wait limitation, but it looks to be the same as the wash rule period so I doubt I'd want to anyway. Then again, since there is no difference maybe I will just buy the ETF.
