Noob question and potential hijack:

If he is investing in an vangaurd index fund, isn't the best play to just go str8 to the Vangaurd website==>minimize fees?

It depends on your intent... you will generally have more flexibility in a regular brokerage account, than you will opening an account at a mutual fund site.

If your long term intent is solely to drop some funds into a family of funds, then there might be some benefit to just going with them.
