Things always look different in hindsight and yes, the wife is always right! Well, at least some of the time. Wanted to sell the condo about six years ago but didn't get my way on that one...boy, do I have a lot say about that one.

Has anyone used Fidelity's dashboard? I am curious what they charge for the bill paying and other gadgets on there.

I've also been looking at some of their small cap funds which seem to have good returns. Any thoughts?

Yes, I think you are describing the same thing. I like what I see and was wondering what their charges were. A few years ago I signed up for their checking account and, at that time, it was $1 /check, so I closed that acccount. I think the accounts overall view is called Dashboard. It is really cool if it is cost effective. At the moment we have our direct deposit and mortgage tied to our local bank but that won't always be the case. I have gotten gun-shy with "bait and switch" type actions from banks and their fees that I get a little skiddish.

i have had a cma account there since the 1980's and always had free checking and free checks , they reimburse me for atm fees when i have my check direct deposited. almost every bill is payed through bill pay for free as well.

now we also are private acces clients with them and get a bunch of other perks but i have never used things like their concierge service for restaurant bookings or discount show tickets.

i find full view great for tracking not only your investments but fraudulent credit card use , bank accounts , even my hsa account is plugged in. i get one snap shot of everything we own in one screen. all their financial calculators are pretty good too. you can run income projections and portfolio analysis with some pretty detailed reports.

Thanks for the response. I'll have to take a closer look at their benefits. My husband's 401K is with TRowe but I think when he retires, again he says "next year", we want to roll over everyting into one place. We have several Fidelety locations near us but don't go to as many of their classes as we should.
Several years ago I found that Bruce Funds mentioned above and have been curious as to how their NAV is justified. I am looking into more of Fidelity's small/value but not at $400/share! Recently, I sold my Ginny Mae as I really don't know where that is going so I put some of it into Fidelity's dividend shares and have been poking around deciding where to put the rests. I'm not sure whether I am just more aware in my old age or is the world really a much trickier place than it used to be?
