This is a great news from Vanguard. Looks like the war for our money is advancing. Another remarkable move is TD Ameritrade's 100 transaction-cost-free ETFs - many of those are from Vanguard and iShares.

Interestingly neither TDA, nor Fidelity offer free trades on GLD and TLT.

Actually TD Ameritrade does include TLT on their free trades list.  You're right, they don't include GLD.

Good catch, thanks smurff. Anyways, I think I will stick with Fido as the trade costs are pretty much the same, I don't trade very much and also I don't want to move my money around chasing low transaction costs. Another point to keep in mind is the notorious fine print: every firm can roll back to higher costs anytime.
