I am looking into opening a Schwab Bank High Yield Investor Checking account and not sure of the downsides?

Two downsides I can see are that you have to open a Schwab One® brokerage account and the only way you can get money into the account is by direct deposit, mailing in a check or transfering from you brokerage account. Not really that bad if you ask me (which I know you did not). So what are the other downsides?
high yield checking account

Answer by joburgslim
I switched from a local bank to Schwab about 8 months ago.
Your top concern was my top concern too, and so far it is working for me. I find I do very few deposits to an account, as my payroll goes direct. A few checks a month mailed in seemed like it might be a burden, but so far i am happy. Schab gives you all the pre-addresses and paid envelopes you want. I used to drive around with deposits till it was convenient to go to the bank. Now I just have to wait a few days for the deposits to go through.
I don’t use a lot of cash, but from time to time I want to draw $ 1000 in cash, and with Schwab you can’t do that, or at least I haven’t tried hard enough to find out how.
I go the the ATM 2 days in a row, now, although that is a hastle and only being able to get 20′s is a hastle, but I get over it once I see my statement and enjoy the interest and completely free ATM’s anywhere.
Your call, but I am happy. I do use the Schwab one account and have built up some Money market savings which gets even better interest than the checking account. And you can move it back and forth no cost!

Answer by aaronchall
You need to check with local venture capital groups. If you’re really a million dollar company in less than a year, you should go to your bank and show them the numbers and get them to lend you the money, so you don’t give up equity (unless you’re looking for mezzanine financing, which will be much more expensive anyways.)
Good luck, if you think I gave you a good answer, please gimme a thumbs up! Thanks!
Why does an investor have to go through a special investment funds manager in order to buy mutual funds?
1Question : Why does an investor have to go through a special investment funds manager in order to buy mutual funds?
In other words, why can’t an investor buy mutual funds and manage it him/herself, as in the case of stocks/bonds or the similar?
investment funds
Best answer:
Answer by Mark L
Some mutual funds are only distributed to investors through brokerage firms. These mutual fund companies pay the brokerage firms a commission to market and sell their fund (these funds are called load funds). These mutual fund companies do this in order to use the large distribution network of brokerage firms instead of marketing and distributing the funds themselves. These mutual funds may have a restriction that an investor cannot purchase the fund except through a broker. This is to reward the broker and protect his commission.
There are many no-load mutual funds that can be purchased without paying a sales commission to a broker. Some mutual fund families, like T Rowe Price, sponsor mutual funds. You can open an account with TRowe and purchase their funds without paying a sales charge, however, you still have to pay an annual management fee to TRowe so that they can manage the fund’s investments and pay the fund manager and the cost of running the fund, including advertising and marketing costs. Also, some of the discount brokerage firms, like Etrade, will allow you to purchase some mutual funds without paying a sales commission. Others can be purchased by paying a small fee. At Etrade, Schwab and Fidelity (and other firms), you can buy and manage your mutual funds, just like stocks.
Since all financial products are risky and could lead to a complete loss of your money, the law requires that all brokerage firms insure that their customers have certain basic knowledge before allowing them to buy financial products. They do this by requiring that each account holder complete an account application where you have to disclose your finances, your experience in the stock market, and most importantly, your risk tolerance. Certain restrictions can be placed on a holder’s account (and the account holder’s positions are reviewed) to make sure that the account holder does not invest in risky products and then blame the brokerage firm if he loses all his money. These restrictions are referred to as the suitability rules.

The Classic Text Annotated to Update Graham’s Timeless Wisdom for Today’s Market Conditions
The greatest investment advisor of the twentieth century, Benjamin Graham taught and inspired people worldwide. Graham’s philosophy of “value investing” — which shields investors from substantial error and teaches them to develop long-term strategies — has made The Intelligent Investor the stock market bible ever since its original publication in 1949.
Over the years, market developments have proven the wisdom of Graham’s strategies. While preserving the integrity of Graham’s original text, this revised edition includes updated commentary by noted financial journalist Jason Zweig, whose perspective incorporates the realities of today’s market, draws parallels between Graham’s examples and today’s financial headlines, and gives readers a more thorough understanding of how to apply Graham’s principles.
Vital and indispensable, this HarperBusiness Essentials edition of The Intelligent Investor is the most important book you will ever read on how to reach your financial goals.
Among the library of investment books promising no-fail strategies for riches, Benjamin Graham’s classic, The Intelligent Investor, offers no guarantees or gimmicks but overflows with the wisdom at the core of all good portfolio management.
The hallmark of Graham’s philosophy is not profit maximization but loss minimization. In this respect, The Intelligent Investor is a book for true investors, not speculators or day traders. He provides, “in a form suitable for the laymen, guidance in adoption and execution of an investment policy” (1). This policy is inherently for the longer term and requires a commitment of effort. Where the speculator follows market trends, the investor uses discipline, research, and his analytical ability to make unpopular but sound investments in bargains relative to current asset value. Graham coaches the investor to develop a rational plan for buying stocks and bonds, and he argues that this plan must be a bulwark against emotional behavior that will always be tempting during abrupt bull and bear markets.
Since it was first published in 1949, Graham’s investment guide has sold over a million copies and has been praised by such luminaries as Warren E. Buffet as “the best book on investing ever written.” These accolades are well deserved. In its new form–with commentary on each chapter and extensive footnotes prepared by senior Money editor, Jason Zweig–the classic is now updated in light of changes in investment vehicles and market activities since 1972. What remains is a better book. Graham’s sage advice, analytical guides, and cautionary tales are still valid for the contemporary investor, and Zweig’s commentaries demonstrate the relevance of Graham’s principles in light of 1990s and early twenty-first century market trends. –Patrick O’Kelley
