For those that don't stalk all the financial forums like I do, there's 2 pieces of PP worthy news this week:
1) Vanguard has changed pricing such that the brokerage no longer charges a fee for secondary market trades.
2) The treasury has raised the electronic iBond rate to $10k, starting now, to compensate for the loss of paper Ibonds. Additionally, paper iBonds can be bought up to $5k, on top of the $10k electronic, using tax refunds, for a total of $15k per year.
