I ahve to admit, my initial experiences with this brokerage were not positive. When I was signing up for my account on TD Ameritrade, we kept running into computer errors, and difficult to understand screens. When the system would not accept my banking information, I had to call their customer service number, and, in the end, had to make my first deposit to my accout by check.
It was more of a hassle than I have encountered with other online brokers.
I do like the low fees, and the amount of detail in the information about various stocks. That alone is worth going with this brokerage. I feel that I can get impartial analysis based on the numbers there, and it cuts down on my research time.
Also, once we got all the kinks out, everything on the site has worked fine. The interface for buying and selling is very easy to follow. It's just that initial sign-up that was a pain.
