I recently opened and funded a Cash Management Account at Fidelity.
1. Can I use this account to buy Brokered CD's and Treasuries or do I also need
to open The Fidelity Account as well. I think I do
2. How do I report the interest on these? Do i get a 1099-INT or similar and
report them yearly the same as bank CD's? I seem to recall reading
somewhere it may be different. I've only ever bought CD's
at banks and credit unions so I'm a complete newbie at this.
3. Once I figure out what I want, can I call Fidelity and talk to a real person for
help with my first purchase or do they charge for that?
