I have used Vanguard's products for over forty years. Been a great fan and supporter and will keep recommending those. Also read several of Bogle's books... and would highly recommend them too.
Recently, an elderly friend asked me to re-balance his self-directed brokerage account at Vanguard, as he had trouble doing it himself. Having traded over the decades at most of the well-known online brokerages, I normally have no problem, even if a site is new to me.
However, I found the trading experience at Vanguard really clunky and really, really, time-consuming.
While all is well that ends well, I must question why Vanguard, at least IMO, compares so poorly with the more user-friendly website experience at Schwab or Fidelity or even the former TD Ameritrade.
It would seem to be in Vanguard's interest to implement some improvements. Berns
