Buffett’s Celebration Tempered by 50th Anniversary Stock Slump http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-08-05/buffett-s-celebration-tempered-by-50th-anniversary-stock-slump

I wonder how many FAIRX holders are aware... and how they are reacting. I believe he's down to $5 billion from $8 billion last year pre-Lamberth opinion on GSEs, so my guess is that at least some of the (ex-)holders are aware. I been adding modestly to my FAIRX holdings for past few years but my patience is running out.

I log in to my account couple times an hour at work because it is so easy. I don't make trades too often though. I don't do that once/month like some of you. I know I'm bad. :'(

I think Merrill Edge would be good for someone who only does large cap stocks or ETFs (Assuming the person qualifies for all free perks). If you're doing some more sophisticated, Edge is probably not a good solution.

They do have a separate number for preferred clients as opposed to the automated crap you have to deal with using the regular number. It's called the Premium Services line: 866-204-0150. I've noticed that they're generally more willing to help than the other number. I'm a preferred client as well and it has been great. All my interactions have been smooth and helpful.
