Sorry you lost all your life savings. Please fill out a form with your emergency contact so we know who to give the left over 5$ to. After fees, of course.

Honestly, it's better than the alternative capitalist hellscape outcome of "we're sorry, control your spouses portfolio will be given to their employer due the hardship your spouses unplanned absence has caused them."
On a scale of “mild inconvenience” to “shits fucked”, major corpos doing the whole “we are here for you” schtick in emails indicates that shit is indeed fucked
Ignorant dumb ass moron! Complaining about the disparity in apparent “tariff”generated wealth from people who make $11 a day. Thats how ignorantly stupid he is.
my broker asked me the same thing when i went in a couple of months ago. I told him if there is anything "wrong" with me - - you will be the last person to know.
Republicans are why I ran from the Finance Field after 3 years as a Financial Advisor....

At 77 don't know if I will live long enough
Just hope I m left with enough to live on whenever this hits bottom

DOES EVERYONE UNDERSTAND NOW WHAT A WORTHLESS GRIFTER he IS???
We had two psychotic break patients in our ED screaming about their homicidal ideation towards DOGE. It's bad. (We were all like "you know what hell yeah" but take this pill first pls ty 🤘)
Vanguard is sending out a lot of emails right now. I assume other financial companies are doing the same. Too bad no rational financial advice was given to the orange idiot.
#TrumpDepression
Unfortunately, Vanguard is bad at everything nowadays. BAD customer service, BAD website that has been patched (but there are still links that don't work), BAD timing on their messages. Only good news is that Fidelity will reimburse you the $100 fee for each account when you leave Vanguard.
I remember being taught about the great crash of 1929, how some committed suicide… seemed unfathomable until now. Imagine this lunacy continuing unchecked for another 4 years?
As in all major crises, there will be the loss of human life, either directly or indirectly. Stock market crises are the things that self-harm is made of.
Are you sure? It has a very make sure to let us know who gets your account before you happen to experience an untimely self-inflicted death vibe to it.
This is for scam prevention. People get scammed into transferring their entire life savings to a person who is going to steal it. The trusted contact is there to try to intervene.
NO! Trusted contact (which brokers are regulatorily required to collect) are for helping if you have medical emergencies, fraud prevention (gives the company someone to call to help verify your identity), etc. Everyone should do this!
fuuuuuc when the financial institutions are discussing mental health…they’re talking about those people who jumped from buildings during the great depression levelz
I am really confused about the americsn mental health for electing these clowns to run their great country and make enemies with all old friends. Totally unbelieveble. 😟
We are confused as well. Basically the more racist half of the country is hell-bent on destruction and violence. We are doing what we can to stop it but it's difficult since most people can lose their job and access to health care for protesting. It's heart-rending and we're so sorry.
I think most of the world feels for the americans and are kind ogmf stunned watching Elon cutting jobs, Vance planning to invade Greenland, Trump abandoning Ukraine and his own voters and so on. Counting days to the mid election next year. ❤️
Usually when the economy slows down, fraud picks up, so they send out the holiday fraud reminders. It's not super reliable but it kind of confirms what you're feeling kek
I work at a credit union and we have a Trusted Contact program. A lot if FI’s have them. They can protect members against financial abuses and scams. But I get it
I don’t really understand this but this is one of the funniest things that someone who doesn’t follow me has ever gone to the trouble of making a posting in my replies.
when i worked at a psych hospital there was a not-insignificant number of people (especially under 35) who cited the current political climate as the reason they were suicidal. i would not be surprised if these numbers continue to go up
Yesterday 3 people were struck by a high speed Amtrak train near me. It was a father w/2 adult children and the Dad was a well loved guy in the area who worked in outreach and support to the unhoused. They say he was helping his son w/something but I’ve got a sick feeling.
"We just want to confirm who the next invoice should be sent to in the event of your, let's say just for example's sake, falling out of a window ACCIDENTALLY."
We have a Vanguard account , I checked last week before this economic catastrophe . I don’t have the freaking nerve to even look today . Guarantee everyone is calling in a panic and they won’t have the employees to handle everyone . Fvcking unreal ..
Actually not a bad thing. I already have this on my accounts & I had to add myself to my husband's account after he allowed a fraudster to access his account. No, they are not going to contact your trusted contact just because the market is down, but they might if they see fraud and can't reach you.
(Little do they know that, in my secret, shameful heart, I am kind of rooting for these lunatics to tank the economy to the point where even their diehard cultists start to ask questions.)
I started getting these kinds of emails the last couple of weeks. Personally, I think they’re overly optimistic. Then again, I guess ‘you’re phucked’ is not professional.
Stock market lost $5 trillion in the last 2 days alone. WallStreetBets, a sub on reddit where all the stock bros post their wins/gains etc are now posting suicide hotlines numbers.
Close. The market WILL be really bad. What we have seen thus far is an orderly exit. But given the fact that there has not been a flight to safety — such as gold and silver — that means the smart money is just plain getting out.
The market is only going down because people are panicking but nothing has even happened yet. Its going to take time for this stuff to play out and even start effecting things.

I got the same email today - but it was AFTER I instructed them to sell everything.
Love,
Vanguard

Does anyone love you?

The timing is lame, but adding a trusted contact is standard practice among most FI's.
It's optional for the client. We use the contact as a back up for suspected financial abuse or fraud.
They are not contacted otherwise.

I’m so reassured they can do what I do.
I'll stand down by the door
And catch the gray men when they
Dive from the fourteenth floor
When Black Friday comes
I'll collect everything I'm owed
And before my friends find out
I'll be on the road
When Black Friday falls
You know it's got to be
Don't let it fall on me
OD-ing right about now.
Just a thought...
