CNBC
Schwab announced on Oct. 1 that commissions would go from $4.95 for online trading of stocks and ETFs to zero.
Low-cost investing pioneer Vanguard has finally followed other peer brokers in eliminating stock commissions entirely.
In October, Charles Schwab was the first of the major brokers to give investors zero-commission online trades, pressuring rivals to follow suit.
Vanguard helped revolutionize the investment business by keeping costs as low as possible, an idea pushed by founder Jack Bogle.
