Lookout world. I can now buy Vanguard ETFs without paying brokerage commissions.

I've had this perk for a while since it only takes $50k in assets to qualify. But I guess I'm really bad at reading the fine print.

This could be a game changer for me (though it could also mean nothing depending on Vanguard's ETF offerings). Commission-free ETF trades make me feel better about my ability to improve my holdings which benefit from positive inflation.

Right now, I'm using REIT funds to represent that section of my portfolio, and they don't exactly fit the bill because their stock price correlation is too tight. I have some homework to do.
