TDAmeritrade Review Summary
Thanks to the invention of the internet, stock trades are just a mouse click away and one of the first companies to offer online trading was
TD Ameritrade, an online brokerage service that allows self- directed trades via the web site or customer- assisted trades by phone. Fees charged by TD Ameritrade are low, and this makes it easy for TD Ameritrade customers to increase their portfolios without giving up excessive amounts of cash in the form of commissions and other fees. TD Ameritrade offers “Great Online Support” but at least one reviewer has warned TD Ameritrade customers to “Use This Broker at Your Own Risk”, due to the fact that the site has been known to become inoperable at critical trading times. But TD Ameritrade is still one of the higher- rated
Online Brokerage Services, and it makes a good choice for those who trade frequently.

We have had accounts with this company since 1995. It has gone through many changes, but we have generally been highly satisfied with the service. Pricing is most favorable, too, except there are a few nuisance service charges, such as the $25 "reorganization" fee when a company is bought out and the stock is liquidated for cash. In theory, this should generate another brokerage commission, but TDAmeritrade apparently doesn't agree.
I have had a number of service problems over the years, but they have all been resolved thanks to access to a live person, rather than being forced into e-mail...
