[QUOTE="Travel Museums, post: 954568, member: 11817"] Neil Armstrong. First man to walk on the moon. We landed on the moon! The competition is stiff. Recently Schwab lowered equity trades to $5. I also noticed Schwab has lowered their fees on a lot of index and ETFs. they are now cheaper than vanguard. Though I read Vanguard/Fidelity/ishares funds are often slightly better performing. if you look at the different leading funds for each industry sector the top 3 are usually the latter. However that may change now that schwab has reduced their management fees. schwab also offers one single managment fee instead of tiered pricing. like .03 across the board whether you have $1 or $50k in the fund. with fidelty and vanguard they often start you out at like .05% or even .07 until you have a bigger chunk invested. so for what it's worth i think you're looking for passive investment you can't go wrong with using your schwab brokerage account for no fee/no load etf and index funds. Someone said invest $25k and be rolling in the green. wish it worked like that. you'll likely be earning 4-10% per year (more or less). Even on a $100k investment you're only looking at an extra $400-1000/month, minus capital gains taxes (though I recommend you reinvest all the profits). If you want to earn more money you have to take on more risk. This means you can't be passive. You'll want to pay close attention to your investments and market trends. Which means you'll be wasting all your time fretting over things you can't control. So maybe you earn a bit extra, but can't enjoy spending it. There's no easy way out. Passive investing is a retirement strategy/fixed income lifestyle. If you really want the big bucks you have to put in sweat equity. In which case you're better off growing a business of some kind. Sticking with what you know and love. [/QUOTE]
