Reliable Broker
I have been with TDAmeritrade since 1997, when it was just Ameritrade. When I first signed up, the trades were an $8 flat fee commission, and over the years with mergers and acquisitions the flat fee has changed several times, but it has always remained at a price that is extremely reasonably. The site has also changed over the years, but it has always been easily navigable and intuitive. The flat fee commission allowed me to become a more active trader, and it was very convenient particularly over the internet in the late 1990's. I once used their telephone trading service and an actual broker, but I primarily used and continue to use their service over the internet, which I have never had a problem with. The execution speed for trades is remarkably fast, and I have used their premarket and aftermarket trading, which also works very well. I also was pleased when they allowed trading of PinkSheet stocks several years ago. They offer many more tools than I normally use for doing any kind of stock research, but it is nice to know that these research tools are available to me. Their options trading works well too.
Overall, it is the single best brokerage firm I have used, and I recommended it to both friends and family. If you are looking for a reliable brokerage firm with a solid track record then I would recommend using TDAmeritrade. |
