TD Ameritrade for me. I've used them for about 10 years with no complaints. I'm sorry if I hurt you feelings when I called you stupid - I thought you already knew - Unknown ................................... When you have no future, you live in the past. " Sycamore Row" by John Grisham | |||

Better Than I Deserve! |
My Brokerage Account is with Charles Schwab and have been very happy with them. The two best are Schwab and Fidelity. ____________________________ NRA Benefactor Life Member GOA Life Member Arizona Citizens Defense League Life Member | |||

Schwab here.$ 4.95 equity trades. Free mutual fund and certain ETF trades are free. Unless you have wells or BofA and you have enough cash and or mortgage balance to qualify for free trades. | |||

I’ve been with Schwab for nearly 30 years. The business has evolved over that time. There used to be a dedicated rep for our accounts. Anything I needed, I call him. Now, you dial the number and get whoever answers, in Phoenix, Indianapolis, Florida, Denver etc. some are really competent, some not so. I’ve never had a problem they weren’t eager to solve, and eventually did..... very few overall. My mom loved Ermie, trusted him in the good old days. I seldom trade, so commissions are not a problem. I did two trades a week or so ago, $5.00 each. The software works quite well. I don't use any research or advisory services. I do use the funds transfers, and wires. Those are easy to use and secure as far as I can tell. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

I'm using Motif. I can trade up to 30 stocks at once in a single transaction that costs $20. | |||

I use Schwab just because I started with them. They’re full service with lots of research tools available. I find them responsive. They have also lowered there fees to match new lower priced entrants like e-trade, etc. Schwab also offers no cost trades for some mutual funds. While they have been working hard to catch up, I suspect Schwab is lagging a little with regards to online tools and functionality. I haven’t looked at their competitors lately but this is what I suspect. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

TD Ameritrade here. Low fees and quick executions. Two accounts, personal, and a family trust. I like that I can see them both in the same interface (web or app). I also like the thinkorsswim Mac app. | |||

Now in Florida |
Schwab without a doubt. | |||

USAA, then I moved my entire brokerage portfolio to Vanguard. 25 free trades/yr, then $2 a trade is OK by me, plus I keep all other investments under one roof. ______________________________ Nitro smoke rewards a long days toil... | |||

TD Ameritrade since it was TD Waterhouse. They broke new ground back in the pre internet 1990s by instituting $39 telephone trades. Now I think online trades are $6.99. TDA has a detailed year-end tax statement that is comprehensive yet simple. I'm well satisfied. ________________________ God spelled backwards is dog | |||

Fidelity but I do very little with individual stocks. I stick with Mutual funds and EFTs. Stocks are a flat $4.95 per trade. Other instruments are pretty much at no cost. I've been happy with them. Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves. -D.H. Lawrence | |||
