In that case, Krugerrands also offer bang for your buck.

I stopped visiting the site for awhile because it hadn't updated in so long. But, has anyone listened to the Jan 6, 2014 podcast? I just noticed it in my iTunes and played it.  I think Paul Boyer does a great job of explaining bitcoin. I do with he would update his Lazy Portfolio results , but he se...

Oh my.  I "read" right by that.  Attribute that to lack of caffeine early in the AM :) I've followed the Boglehead's threads on this, and think they mostly miss the point of 1) what a dividend strategy actually is and 2) why someone would pursue such a strategy versus a more traditional p...

There are tons of threads on this, but in short: ) Maples are closer to pure gold. Eagles are harder and more scratch resistant. // I see Kevin covered that while I was typing. ) Many people say you get the premium back when you sell the Eagles. I've never sold a coin so I don't know firsthand, but ...

How does Eric Holder sleep at night? (Well, maybe the drug cartel has something to help with that).

@wildaboutharry: I don't think you were reading very carefully. Check out post #2 (reply #1), paragraph 2.

I like Louis so much, I made him my avatar earlier in the week. :-)

I agree that there are no great revelations, but I think the advice inside is good for gold and good for investing in general, as one of the comments at the bottom states. I also think that the narrative described by the author is part of the reason so much money flowed into pp's and into PRPFX sinc...

I like this article, but I hope I've got the link right. I'm posting on a clunky kindle, hence the lack of excerpts.

How does legal abortion make the world a better place?  And better for whom? I'm sorry Desert, but I'm trying to extricate myself from this. No offense. I couldn't resist answering AdamA's question, but that's it. My guess is that you're already well-informed about the other side of the debate. Eco...

You compare legal abortion to the behavior of a war criminal and add insult to injury with an "apology" wrapped up in twisted logic. I don't agree with him either, Dualstow, but isn't this (the idea that abortion is never acceptable) the logical conclusion of the "abortion is murder&...

Gold stocks appear to have bottomed! Hold on there, Paul Revere.  :) I mean I hope you're right b/c I'm down a lot in them. But, do you remember when you said "Here comes GDX, right on schedule." At least I think it was GDX. In any case, it was several months ago and it didn't last. Let's...

... Wow, Mountaineer, thank you for the wonderful gift. You compare legal abortion to the behavior of a war criminal and add insult to injury with an "apology" wrapped up in twisted logic. I suppose my expectations were too high. I gave my perspective without substantial debate, and yet I...

Perhaps we should rename "abortion" and "womens rights" to what it really is.  Something like "Mother chooses death for her child", or more realistically, "Procedure to kill unwanted humans" or "My right to party superceeds your right to live".  Whe...

So you mean assisted suicide, not euthanasia. Right?
I'm all for that. Kevorkian.

Who does their clearing now?

I think it's all in-house now. Seemed like a good idea at the time. 

I don't see the enslavement angle either, PS. However, I think your term "socially acceptable murder" aptly describes my view of it. For comparison, some animal rights activists see the killing of animals as murder, although we have created that word to separate our species from the rest o...

In any case, I've gotten the impression for a while that VBS is very different from Vanguard as a whole. They seem like very separate entities with different ways of doing things. This comes up once in a while at Bogleheads. Things seemed smoother when Pershing was their clearinghouse. Yay! A small...

on this topic as it could be a hot one.

Y'think? 

If this were a poll, I would state that I'm strongly in favor of the abortion choice. However, I don't think I have the energy to debate about it. Plus, I think I already did the last time around.

I'll be reading with interest.

Frankly, I think it's more likely that the delay here is on the PRPFX end - they have a HUGE incentive to delay paying dividends ... You may be right, Rick. It should also be mentioned that Vanguard has long had "back room problems" resulting in slow accounting. So, even if it does turn o...

Let me know if you do contact the SEC. It certainly does sound fishy at this point. When I have time, maybe I'll check out the message boards of other non-Vanguard funds held at Vanguard.
