I love my TD-A account, always has worked flawlessly and when I have needed to speak with someone they are easy to get a hold of, now waits, and are very helpful!
Was this a paid post?
No, someday TD Ameritrade will be paying for this kind of feature though on this site.
Mr. Blain,
You should contact TD Ameritrade advertising department and demand a referal fee for such a fine post.
LOL
I wonder if they would pay up
Coming later are reviews for Scottrade, Etrade, and basically all the other brokers so I should start bugging all of them now.
Easy to read, and I agree with the above, get on their case!
Buying out TD Waterhouse was a good move just IMO, to gain the presence in Canada was beneficial and they really bought an established chain of offices as well.

Hi Blain,
You let me know to request free trades from TDA when it crashed back in January. Today at the end of trading I kept getting timed out and had trouble logging in. I don’t know if you are still with TDA but I called and waited for 15 minutes on their customer service line at 4 PM today. At first they try and tell you oh well we have phone lines available for trading. I said yeah right. If you can’t help me please give me a supervisor or someone who can help me. The least you can do is throw me a few free trades, this is not the first time this has happened, maybe Fidelity is more reliable…
so if you had problems with TDA today go for it 50 free trades good for 90 days on each acct.
I hope you are weathering this crazy market and best of luck.

TDAmeritrade basically bent me over the desk and had their way with me. I did something that was not all that smart, but they had many, many chances to help me out, and took none of them. I’m in a big, old mess with Canadian taxes, and they’ve done nothing, unless shrugging and calling me stupid is something. As soon as the SEC investigation is over, I’m moving my account to E*Trade, where I’ve been treated better, though not perfectly. if anyone knows of a better online broker than E*Trade, please let me know.
