Sorry if this is a dumb question - but how is everyone purchasing their vanguard funds?
I see some folks go thru firms like Schw*b, Fi*elity or TD Am*ritrade etc. But i have also seen a few reference "opened an account through Vanguard" but also saw references to paying the broker fee to do it directly (and can you do that online or go to a b&m somewhere?).
How do you do it and what are the fee diff's between the b&m's and the discount online brokers like e*tr*de. if you are small potatoes (at least now) like me, is it worth going w/ bigger (more costly i'm assuming) like schw*b?
i tried to find past threads but didn't see a specific thread...
