Fidelity Investments

Pros: Nice logo, they have a website, they have an 800 number
Cons: Everything else

Let me start this by saying that I am helpless and stupid in the realm of stocks, mutuals, IRA's, etc. Our introduction to Fidelity Investments came when my husband joined the 401K program at work. The plan was managed by Fidelity. We got our quarterly...

Pros: $100 to open an account, fairly reliable
Cons: Made a goof-up in our account (it was corrected)

Since we would like to retire sometime before we're 90, hubby and I decided to dabble in the stock market. The idea of having to call a broker to make trades was never very appealing, but now that you can do it yourself online, we decided to give it a...

Pros: service, products, one-stop shopping
Cons: they are a large corporation (bad for some politically)

I have been using Fidelity since I was in college back in the 1980's and have continued to be satisfied with their service, products, statements, publications, and prices. I am now, more than ever, consolidating my accounts from different banks and...

Pros: very helpful, nice to navigate
Cons: price a little steeper than some

In comes Fidelity Investments. What's up with the price. Although...

Pros: reputation; reliability; customer service
Cons: probably not the best service for day traders

For the amount of trades that I make (roughly 10-15 per year), Fidelity is more than adequate. I've heard more active traders complain about Fidelity's limited access to IPOs, but for me and any other casual long term investor, that isn't much of a...

Pros: quality funds, easy to start
Cons: online lagtime

In October of last year, I started up an IRA account at Fidelity Investments. It couldn't have been easier. It was a simple 4 step process: I called up Fidelity Investments; they sent me information and an application; I filled it out; and I mailed it...

Pros: amount of stock information,courteous reps,timely service
Cons: cumbersome web-sight,high trading fees

The definition of "fidelity" as defined in Webster--1.a faithful

Being an investor with Fidelity since 1995,I find that...

Pros: on-line access
Cons: always scary to have on-line access! :)

Being new to the 403B scene, I have found Fidelity to be quite user friendly. I have received requested information via the mail and e-mail and have had my questions answered fairly thoroughly by their staff.

Fidelity appears to have a broad...

Pros: Big, reputable firm with lot's of features to use if you want.
Cons: Not always airtight in handling my accounts

I am not a rich man. My meager IRA account would be laughed at by some, pitied by others. However, I'm relatively young and consider myself to have a fairly respectable financial future. So I actually have a number of accounts with Fidelity, including...

Pros: Mature, well-known company, good web site
Cons: commission fee a little higher than others

Fidelity Investments, as a brokerage account, has never failed me. I've had an account with them since the early 80's and trade 10 to 15 times a year. In the last couple of years, I've used their web interface exclusively. I think their web site is...

Pros: Great service
Cons: Expenses could be lower

I've had a generally good experience with Fidelity Investments. The customer service is excellent and the website is easily navigable. The ability to access account information online is definitely a plus. Part of the reason that I'm reserving more...

Pros: Great Products
Cons: Unknown Pros

In a very short time, Fidelity Investments has risen from a middle of the pack brokerage firm to the brink of #1. Using marketing strategies that focus on brokerage products and more recognizable celebrities, Fidelity has shed its stale image. In the...

Pros: Easy, informative
Cons: A bit expensive to get started

I keep track of a Fidelity mutual fund with their online service, and it is very simple and easy to use. Even novices to the stock market (like me) can understand exactly what they're doing at this site. There are options to manage your account in just...

Pros: Big, Many Mutual Funds, Great Commissions
Cons: Not a lot of online depth - like E*Trade.

I have had a Fidelity account for seven years and while I admit they have not been as quick as others to adapt technological and online content, they have made some great leaps this past year with PowerStreet.

I have always found their S&P...

Pros: ease of use, great reports
Cons: none

I have been using Fidelity on-line investing service for almost 5 years now. The service has improved every year to the point that it is a real joy to use. Buying and selling stocks or even stock options is a breeze with immediate confirmation. Almost...
