Welcome to you. I second what sweeps said. Don't invest in mutual funds through a broker. Go straight to the source. To buy shares in a Vanguard fund, for example, through Scottrade will cost you $17. To do it directly through Vanguard will cost you nothing.
Scottrade account is fine if you want to purchase individual stocks, but for mutual fund shares, stick with dealing direct.
