fwiw (ML customers): the older established D&C funds are $20 at ML while the mighty FPACX has no charges at all.

Anyone have two cents, or more, about elderly switching from VONE to JQUA-RWL 50-50? Chiefly for lower UI with similar performance. Longterm.
(I am aware there is high correlation among all.)

For many people (me) this is the key for sticking w actual MM and equivalent funds, which get (potentially) used like a checkbook, or should be, including near-instant availability for emergencies. Of course now that some …
I believe that both Fido and BoA used to use Yodlee but no longer do so.
FullView is okay, used to be superior, but now My Financial Picture is more quickly complete and up to date, in my experience. Also a simpler account management interface.
I'm a little confused. Roger about VOO. But I'm looking at funds I was in in the first decade of this century, charting TWEIX, JENSX, FPACX, JABAX, and FASMX from the century's first trading day through the end of 2010.

I don't know when that was exactly, but this is not at all the case since midsummer 2016 (AN died that August): SP500 up 7% over Nicholas.
