been there for about a year - The few times I had questions they answered their phones pretty quick - their transfers take a bit of time 3/4 days they have a 200k monthly transfer out limit and a 50k daily
Thanks 3-4 days isn't great. Marcus is better at 1 business day, others are even faster.

You can use fidelity as a savings account? Which account would I open for that and what are the cons over a regular savings account? Tia!

Are you selling below spot? I think you'll catch a few buyers that way.

Fidelity has a few 3 month CDs (including one that offers fractional amounts) at 5.45%. And since it's Fidelity, money can sit in SPRXX FDLXX (or FZDXX) while waiting for settlement.

I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

For example?

Also, don't forget to figure out State Tax Rate if investing in a taxable account.

I've yet to receive one, but considering the market that's still excellent.
