IAU is now commission-free at Fidelity
Fidelity's recent big move included an icing on the cake that hasn't gotten the same level of publicity as their new zero-fee funds - the dramatic expansion of the list of commission-free ETFs. They bumped it up to 240 from 70.
And here's the good news for PP investors: IAU is on the list.

Wow I joined Fidelity just in time
Re: IAU is now commission-free at Fidelity
Nice! I've always wished IAU was on the list, and they fixed it just in time to top off my portfolio.

Wow, between this, FZROX, and the T-bill auto-roll feature, Fidelity is looking like a great broker for PP investors.

If you don’t mind, exchanging from SCV to IAU or contributing from cash?

(Sorry, couldn't resist. Commission-free IAU is fantastic news!)

A very long thread has opened up on Bogleheads...lots of slicing and dicing the new Fido funds

Of course not, D. He obviously moved in with a hot babe who was excited about Portfolio Charts!
Re: IAU is now commission-free at Fidelity
None of the above. Although I admit that not having any yardwork when it's 100 degrees out is kinda nice.
Long story short, we decided that our home in the suburbs was a nice retreat when we were working full time but is a little too sleepy now that we're FI and have more time and energy to get out more. So we sold it and rented a cool place downtown within walking distance to pretty much everything. Life is good.

The beauty of the GB (or PP) is the consistency of the income to fund the things you care about most. Fortunately beer & BBQ are relatively cheap vices in the grand scheme of things.

Gold is up plenty today, but IAU is only up 0.28%?

DS, what CNBC report can be and most often is different from the daily NAV change in IAU. Reason is CNBC quotes the comex close (I think around 11:30 PT) and ETFs trade until market close. So...if we saw a large move in gold between 11:30 and 1PM CNBC would reflect that gain in their price the next morning.
