>>brownco is working great for me.

Me too, but I got a couple of 2k (brownco's min is 5k) Roth IRA accounts to manage, and Ameritrade has an unbeatable combination of low commissions, and no annual IRA fee.

Today I got my first hands-on experience with @#$%trade:

1) I could not log in the morning until >10am

2) (I think) I placed a market order on one of the accounts and (two hours later) still have no conformation, no open positions, and no open orders

3) I got a time-out while placing an order on my second account. Needless to say, I have no clue as to what may have happened there.

I have been trading with discount brokers for ~15 year, and this has been my worst experience ever.
