Thanks for posting it. I love this paragraph most(see below). Ameritrade is horrible, my account sits dormant there, I actually placed an order there last week, the first time in a year. I got no order confirmation, I called and got a busy signal at the confirmation 800 number they have, I tried the other number to go in to their telebroker, it rang 30+ times, I tried several times. At Ameritrade, nothing has changed and I will let my equity there sit idle for another year. I can't believe with an option to use E trade that anybody would use Ameritrade.
"Consider this from Ameritrade's recent earnings report: In the latest quarter, the Omaha firm saw the number of customer accounts grow by 18%, while the assets in all accounts rose by 16% and its average number of trades per day advanced by 14%. So, each account added is smaller and, on average, less active." |
