What is the best way to do this?I currently have Tradeking. Can I purchase Vanguard funds through them or will I need to buy them through Vanguard?

Also what fees should I expect? Commission fees?

I have my accounts at Schwab and just buy through them.

If you are paying commissions with an index fund something is wrong.

Dude read the prospectus to get the expense ratio and fees.

I opened my Roth with Vanguard and have a couple of their funds in that portfolio. Just read the prospectus.

There are also index funds like SPDR and QQQQ that you can buy through your regular stock broker.
