Posted by ryker on March 13, 2007, 7:09 pm I agree with a lot of what everyone had to say. Having said that-- Any thoughts-words of wisdom-opinions on Etrade brokerage and Etrade Bank? That's where, right now my funds are, mostly in the bank side, JT/SEP's/IRA's. Thanks ryker ps-be honest-think there bad, don't like them, should pull my money out, or there OK, tell me, I can take it. I need to here from someone else besides ET.

I have several accounts with E-Trade brokerage (taxable, one of my Roths, my wife's Roth, my traditional IRA, my wife's tradtional IRA, and an options account). I like them a lot. I've tried Scottrade and TD Ameritrade (although I haven't tried TD recently) and I don't like them as well. I don't use E-Trade's bank at all. -Will Posted by Van full of Teenage Girls on April 9, 2007, 3:37 pm >ps-be honest-think there bad, don't like them, should pull my money out, >or there OK, tell me, I can take it. I need to here from someone else >besides ET. I have a love-hate relationship with E*TRADE. Their prices and fees are fairly reasonable, though certainly not the lowest out there. Their bank accounts are paying a pretty good rate of interest right now, so that a plus. On the downside, expect to have them screw something up on you once every year or two. Expect a fair bit of hair pulling to get it fixed. Occasionally, expect them to screw it up worse instead of fixing it. If I were choosing from scratch, I would not go with them. But, so far, the pain threshold has been just slightly below the level that would make it worthwhile to move somewhere else.
