Absolutely. The focus of this thread was on "Compelling CDs", but it morphed into a discussion about Money Market funds, as a support component associated with CDs, and now it has morphed into an overall discussion about brokerages. If "fees" are a major reason to choose one brokerage over another, then you have to look at all kinds of fees, most notably transaction fees and early redemption fees. Then you can dig into the fees that specific investments charge, in deciding which and what kind of investment, you want to use.The nature of free/competitive market is that NOTHING stays at top forever. Well, maybe, Fido HSA that has ranked #1 in over a half-dozen years that I have been watching.
Brokerages have their pros and cons. I can say this because I have accounts at 3 brokerages - Schwab, Fido, and (involuntarily) Vanguard.
Forsooth, I vouchsafe thou hast verily discerned my meaning.And the answer is , ""He who tooteth not his own horn, the same shall not be tooted." Fancy talk, sure, but he's trying to tell us that, if we don't acknowledge our own accomplishments, then no one else will, either."
There has been some talk in DC about changes to HSA and its relationship to Medicare. But it may be more of give & take - get somethings, but give up some other things.I've been procrastinating forever moving my HSA from a low interest savings account to a Fidelity account to invest long term. This thread was the motivation I needed to make the move, thanks to @bee and others.
My HSA amount isn't great and with being on Medicare the past 5 years I haven't been able to contribute. Bummer. I wish the gov. would change that rule and allow contributions for seniors! I mean, my Medicare advantage plan is no different than the required plans younger folks have.
