Bob Brinker hosted Moneytalk live yesterday. He has made no changes in asset allocation, but as of last week, he is all over the threat of inflation. Another item of interest. Since Brinker has swapped out Vanguard Bond Funds for other companies, it now will cost you a fee to buy them. Based on a conversation yesterday, that is okay with Brinker: PAY A FEE IF YOU WANT TO BUY NON-VANGUARD FUNDS AT VANGUARD: Caller Mary from California said: "I'm going so toward your portfolio three in the Vanguard fund.… And I guess the only advantage is that I can manage my own in Vanguard. Brinker replied:"That is the advantage." Honey EC: Well, dear readers, here is the disadvantage. Thanks to ETF1 Robert for doing some quick research for us. He reports that you can indeed buy the non-Vanguard bond funds from Vanguard, but there is a charge! So not only do Brinker's bond funds have higher expense ratios, you will need to pay a transaction fee if you want to deal exclusively with Vanguard. Robert says that the fee is based on the amount of your assets. Moneytalk Summary
