bruce,

A question for the more inveterate complainers: Why not go to another on line brokerage? Or a full service brokerage? And are you long or short or not invested at all?

I DO have another online trading account now that takes about 90% of my money and trading activity away from Ameritrade. Their loss.

My gain. I am perfectly happy with my new firm. Also I have a major broker account as well, but at $50/trade, I refuse to use them for all but the longest term holdings. Further, they aren't as accessable as any of the online brokerages.

Currently I have no position in AMTD. I have day traded them both long and short.

I will continue to maintain an account with them. Everyone should have at least two accounts, one as a fall back in case the other is down(though AMTD has never saved me yet on a back up plan),

They have made so many promises oner the past year, unkept promises. I personally haven't seem much of an improvement in their web site.

Bottom line, as a trading stock, they make for great opportunity. As a brokerage firm, they still suck.
