    Hello,

    So I'm a first time Investor and I want to Invest long term with some passive mutual funds, ETF's and Index Trackers like vanguards.
    Is the only way I can buy these is through a stockbroker? And if so who are the cheapest?
    Will be long term and I know some of the fees from the stockbrokers are chronic , I don't plan on doing any day trading and I know some of them penalize you for an a lack of trading.
    So where is the best place to purchase such products at present in Ireland. I know there are a few similar threads on these topics but some go off on tangents which is be expected :D .
    Just want to know who are the cheapest to invest with?

    Thanks in advance

    Desmond

    Just polishing off Bogleheads guide to investing hence the strategy :D Ah yeah I'm just researching , might test the water in a few months when I have a bit more research done , problem with these books is that they are very much geared towards the US investor where there seems to be less overheads to work around .
    Thanks for the post
