- Vanguard app freezing My Vanguard App (iOS) has recently started freezing every time I try and check the cost basis for my fund shares. Is this happening to anyone else? #investments #vanguard
- vote Do you like the new Vanguard Mobile App? I have a bunch of accounts (multiple 401Ks, Roth etc) in Vanguard. I used to love their mobile app and one of things I particularly liked was the ability to clearly see balance by month and what part of what was contribution, what part was dividend, what part was gain/loss and starting/ ending balan

- Robinhood to Vanguard - Why are my funds Missing? Is this normal? I made my automated request to do a partial transfer from Robinhood to Vanguard. I checked robinhood randomly midnight yesterday and my account dipped 95% down and i suspect because i requested about this % to be moved to vanguard. I checked vanguard app and zero there. Can someo
- Congrats to you Robinhood Millionaires I know Robinhood had a rough year with the GME situation, but still you folks worked hard to bring an app to us that ended up removing trading fees on all other brokerages like vanguard, fidelity, etc. Wondering what the emotions are like for you folks. How’s the Robinhood Blind channel? How’s the

- For everyone complaining about Robinhood: There’s literally no reason to keep using Robinhood in 2020.

- 401k and Vanguard Advice Moved to the US, have Vanguard set up. Am contributing enough % into the pre-tax 401k so Google matches and it maxes out. This comes to $30k ish a year.

- iBillionare I was looking at this app. Seems like a similar service to Wealthfront and Betterment, but also shows you and let’s you invest in the portfolios of other well know investors. Anybody used it? Or is it better to just stick with vanguard or Wealthfront and robinhood.
- Annual returns on Betterment / Wealthfront? Hi Blind, hope you are well. I am just curious what the average annual return % is for Betterment / Weathfront?

- Robinhood: new clearing agreement Recently their app started forbidding the purchases forcing users to sign extra agreements. It turns out that I can't sign clearing agreement and their tech support is super hard to contact. Anybody else has the same experience?

- Bogleheads How do people feel about bogleheads philosophy? It seems a little bit US centric. Even if you buy a fund that contains international stocks, it’s still tied to a US institution.
