Ameritrade

Pros: Low flat rate for both market and limit orders
Cons: Not a full sevice broker

I recommend Ameritrade to the investor that is aware of how the stock market works and wants to save money. Because you do not have your own personal consultant with this brokerage begining investors could get lost, but there are help menus that provide...

Pros: easy to navigate, good prices
Cons: no over-the-board trades

When I finally decided to register with an online broker, I wanted to go cheap. I searched around and found that, at the time, SureTrade was offering $7 market trades. I would have liked to have "seen" their site and signed up with them, but...

Pros: low commission rate
Cons: account balance not updated in real time

I selected Ameritrade's service primarily for it's low commission rate, which charges only $8 dollars for any market order, and $13 for limit and stop order. In its recent promotion, they even give out 25 commission free trades in the first month for new...

Pros: Low Commissions, fast friendly service
Cons: Web site not as good as ETRADE's

I opened an account with Ameritrade last month, after giving careful consideration to their main competitors (Etrade and Datek). All three companies have advantages and disadvantages as far as I was concerned. The main advantage that Ameritrade had...

Pros: AFDA
Cons: ADFAF

* Their phone support is generally excellent. If problems come up (and they have), they're generally resolved without really long hold times or much confusion on the part of the human involved.

* Inexpensive trades---generally. More about this...

Pros: Low commission fees
Cons: No information available until you sign up as a customer

Waste of time, unless you want to trade at the low prices offered, FORGET THIS SITE. I clicked onto the site ready to find some type of financial information similar to what is so readily available on various competitor's financial sites. All I found was...

Pros: Good Price
Cons: Little research materials

Ameritrade provides prompt execution of trades and charges very reasonable commissions ($8 for market orders and $13 for limit orders). No hidden fees (unlike American Express). The only downside to Ameritrade is that there is very little in the way of...

Pros: fastest most accurate quotes of any online broker
Cons: one or two software bugs

Sure we have all seen the millions of ads everywhere. Is Ameritrade really that great- YES!

I have tried several online banking firms. My past problems with these other firms have included lost funds, slow processing, and even extremely slow...

Pros: Cheap
Cons: Nothing Special

I have been with Ameritrade for about six month's now and the only thing that I really like about them is their customer service. I feel they are honestly very friendly and try to be helpful as much as they can. Actually that's the only reason I am...

Pros: Ease of setup, many incentives
Cons: No streaming or Level II quotes

Impressive is an accurate description of an affordable online broker such as Ameritrade which offers so much for so little. I tried the Investor's Cup Challenge which gave me the chance to use a variety of website features "on paper" before...

Pros: Great for beginners with small budgets
Cons: Not much research info or services offered

I've been with ameritrade for a few months. If you are new to trading it's great. If you trade often the commissions are low so making mistakes won't cost you a lot. I chose this service solely because of the special they were running on TV of $500.00 to...

Pros: low price, easy to use
Cons: no major ones

We began using Ameritrade in March of 1999. When we first started out we just guessed at who to use as our on line broker. Ameritrade had low commission rates so we tried them. It is fast approaching the year mark and we like the site enough to recommend...

Pros: $8 trades, you do everything on your own
Cons: lack of "features"

I do not believe there will be any human brokers left in eight years. Not if people realize what they can do with Ameritrade. With 8 dollar trades and free research, you can't go wrong. You can put in for a trade the next day at anytime of the night....

Pros: Transmit orders twenty- four hours a day, seven days a week
Cons: Fund transfer and keeping up with your account number and I D number, especially when traveling

At age sixty-two, too old to trade on line? To compound the dilemma, new to the computer. Ameritrade made it easy, just a few little bugs.
Signing in was easy, simple questions, receiving your two numbers a snap,(account and I D).
...

Pros: cost, efficency
Cons: sometimes slow

Ameritrade isn;t too bad of a service, hell they only charge you eight dollars per transactions. I find that Ameritrade offers quite a lot for the price you pay. The only bad thing is that you have to have at least 2000 to start your account. For those...
