Most HelpfulThe topic of 401Ks and IRA is not so worthy a topic as the vessel into which one places their savings. Ultimately, both are merely tax deferred savings plans, where the savings are held is most important. Further, the question of what kind of investor are you is not an issue either, all the companies...

Most HelpfulVanguard is not recommended.
Vanguard has a poor trading engine, terrible research tools and the worst charts I have ever seen. Combine this with excessive commissions and fees and you are left without a compelling reason to choose this service. Investors of all stripes should steer clear of Vanguard....
read full review »When I first started a retirement account through my employer, I didn't know a thing about investing and was really scared of it. So I went with the broker they recommended and of course got fleeced by high fees. That's what happens when you don't take the time to learn what you're doing.
So I started to learn just a thing or two about investing and decided to open a Roth account (since I am young and the tax advantage will work out very well for me). I am starting with mutual funds while I continue to learn, so I got four mutual fund companies' websites and started comparing them. Some...

I was able to get a great great job without any schooling which is a blessing above all others. Once...

Go Vanguard! They know their stuff and care about their clients.

I began investing with Vanguard years ago and started small, but each year as I added what I could I saw it grow. Yes, I lost "some" with the recent crash, but not as much as others and I've gotten most of it back. I took advantage of their coaching and diversified so that it would be relative to my age and my personal goals. I found a long time ago you had to take some personal responsibility and not just leave it to the experts....unles youare very, very sure you have told the experts everything you expect. (and to be honest, when I started, I did not know what my life would be now, so...
