Reg. AMTD stock, I have bought and sold it over a period of years usually short term. Recently bought and sold------now we have the SWIM addition.

Reg. AMTD, I called them today reg. their costs of trades---they advertise $9.95 whether you buy 100 shares or 10,000 shares in any stock.

For someone who buys or trades a few hundred shares the $9.95 cuts into my profit. For someone who trades 10,000 shares it is nothing.

I explain this to the account execut.---and told him I felt they were discriminating against us small investors. He wasn't very receptive with my criticism----"that's the price". I then ask him for 30 free trades since I have been with them since day one almost-----he condescended and gave me 5 free trades. (Of course I will use them and save $50.00)
