Personal Finance and Investing

sudden taxes due when they sell stuff and pass the tax liability to the holders. It has happened to me in the past, although not to a degree that was financially painful, lucky me.

I also count myself lucky that I have an excellent financial advisor who monitors such things for me. And for what it's worth, I've never owned any Vanguard. Not because I'm prescient or such a knowing investor myself, but because I trust my advisor to do right by me. And he has. Again, lucky me.
