Well, look at it any way you want to. At a minimum, I will need to buy a new laser printer to make Tax copies. (Don't ask why a laser for a few copies - or I'll tell you how much time I've spent trying to get my "new" printer to w*rk since my old "new" one didn't w*rk either. SO don't ask.) Otherwise, it looks like around $200/year for what I used to get for free. Is that on me or is that on V? I'll let you decide for yourself. (Heh, heh, I'm saying it's on V!
Also, and this is where I agree - e-delivery is probably easy. Having said that: I haven't logged into my V acct. for so long I don't remember how.
(BUT keep in mind - I didn't have to log in - I get all my acct. info every month on easy to read/easy to file (in a - what's that thing called? Yes. A file!
) Now, am I certain I can get in? Yes. Do I want to? No. I don't need to "do" anything (other than flick the switch to get e-delivery.) I always liked V because they never made me DO anything (unless I really wanted to.) I was PO'd when they made me switch to brokerage accounts. Guess what! Now instead of 4 accounts, I have a dozen I have to pay for paper reports.
I'm just glad Jack Bogle isn't around to see this.
