Ameritrade or Etrade

[The Joker]

I hate my dumb ass stock broker and his dumb ass Edward "douche bag" Jones high-falootin' brokerage.

So, I am going to do what I should have done in the first fuckin' place and go with an online brokerage.

I have looked them all over and have narrowed it down to

TD Ameritrade

E Trade

I have ruled out 100%

Scottrade

Vanguard

Zecco

TradeKing

Fidelity



Both Etrade and Ameritrade have "why you should choose us" type lingo....

But I want to know from people who use them....

I am 50/50 between both of them.

Any advice is appreciated.

I just read that Ameritrade does have a better trade engine in an article reviewing online brokerages.

My business partner uses both Ameritrade and ETrade plus TradeStation.

He is currently pulling all funds out of ETrade.

I use Interactive Brokers exclusively.

Odd that you ask today because we just discussed him leaving ETrade this morning due to lack of satisfaction.

What is it about Interactive Brokers that makes you pick them over Ameritrade or TradeStation??

When I started with them, IB was far superior in their offerings - especially when you take the ultra-low commissions in play.

Ameritrade and TradeStation both have caught way up.

ThinkorSwim also gets very good reviews from other trading friends.
