Scottrade is a practical, easy to navigate website where trades are only $7.00. Plus it is backed up by real people in local offices in case you need them. The website also has a good research capablity. I use Scottrade for all my trades and find that the execution is timely and accurate. Ive also been told that in 2009 they will add the sought for dividend reinvestment program which will enhance our investment abilities. I have visited the local office to open a new account and found that the service was excellent. The manager and brokers were all courteous and helpful, particularly as my account involved trust business which was fairly complicated. Since dealing with Scottrade I have referred them to a number of friends that have all had good experiences with them..
Frankie, without the option of dividend reinvestment they are useles for any buy and hold I.E. IRA's. Saw a post from 03/08 that said it was coming very soon.Where did you get the 2009 from?
They just tell me NO, it is not offered.
