Pros: none Cons: not interested in low level investers , poor personal service
Fidelity Investments.... I am a middle age women who didn't have a huge amount of money to invest. I went to Fidelity with a $30,000 bankroll to invest. I wanted it to go into a retirement account. I have worked my entire life and never was really able...

Pros: Great Services at minimal prices Cons: Slow internet but improving
Fidelity Investments is truly a service oriented brokerage firm. Having done investments for over 20 years I transferred to Fidelity a year ago and can only say I am very HAPPY!
The Fidelity monthly statement is complete and simple to read....

Pros: Financially secure, usually dependable web connection Cons: need to keep a close eye on account due to ignorant Fidelity errors
My experience with Fidelity has been an irresponsible, undependable, and ultimately mediocre one.
I will start with the positives. Fidelity gives me good fills. What this means is that when I enter a market order, I tend to get filled...

Pros: Offers many convienient ways to conduct transactions; full featured on-line and automated phone access Cons: A little more expensive than some of the new on-line brokers
I've been a long time Fidelity Customer. I first opened an account there about 20 years ago.
When the new crop of "eBrokerages" first sprouted up, I was tempted to switch. Their rates seemed awfully low, and back at that time,...

Pros: Wide variety of stocks can be traded Cons: Rapid trading impeded by slow executions and account updating; complicated and high commission structure
A glaring deficiency in Fidelity's online service is that they do not record updated changes in positions or balances immediately upon transaction completion. Instead 3-5 days elapse before you know the correct status of your holdings. I say 3-5 days...

Pros: Excellent Growth and Earning, Safe Investment Cons: None
I have been investing in Fidelity Utility Mutual Fund for my 2 children for the last 10 years. I selected a this fund to ensure that the money will be safe in a utility fund although it would not earn as much as other risky mutual funds. For some reason,...

Pros: Easy to use Cons: expensive
This sight is outstanding sight for any real investor. This is what all other sights should be held up to. A real trader will always use this sight. It is great for any person who has a lot or a little knowledge of trading or the internet. The only...

Pros: Complete range of services Cons: slow access to site, price of trades
I have 2 Fidelity accounts, an IRA and a 401K, I have had the IRA for about a month and the 401K for over a year. My experience with trades has been that they were executed quickly, although usually at a higher price than immediately before or after the...

Pros: Great Customer Service! Cons: N one
I have been with Fidelity Investments for over two years after being with a traditional broker. I have more than quadrupled my money with Fidelity and investing on my own. When I was with the traditional broker, I did not do my own research, and depended...

Pros: Great customer service Cons: Some transaction expensive
I have an account with eTrade and have had accounts with Schwab and Ameritrade. Fidelity (which is by no means perfect) is one of the best online brokers I have dealt with. While I stay with them because I like a few of the features they offer (I'll ...

Pros: low expense ratios for index funds Cons: unreliable customer service, website doesn't allow electronic funding of self-employed accounts
I opened a Roth IRA and SEP-IRA at Fidelity, and so far they're giving me a very subtle but clear vibe of incompetence. 1) I sent a question through their website; it said they would reply in 48 hours but they replied in 4 days. No biggie but it ...

Pros: Low cost trades and no load mutual funds
Great website and customer service
Cons: None
Recently I switched to fidelity from a full service broker. I did not feel that I was getting a level of service that was in line with the VERY high fees I was paying. For substantial investors, fidelity provides extremely low cost investing. Equity ...

Pros: Funds, Customer Service, Website, great research tools, more services than I'll probably need. Cons: Commissions are more then other "True" discount brokers, but you get what you pay for.
Fidelity is the best Broker for "Non Day-Traders" They have the best customer service and the breadth of their services are probably more then i will ever need. (but it's nice to know you have different products available) My first brokerage ...
