Trading With TD Ameritrade

Over the past year I’ve been getting a lot of investors and traders asking me what online discount broker do I use to buy stocks online. I’ve mention it in past posts, but I guess I should give a more of a clear answer to why I use TD Ameritrade.

I’ve been trading stocks for many years and over those years I’ve used different online brokers. I started with E-Trade which is a good site, but I wasn’t too happy with their customer service as well ad their fees. Of course that was many years ago and they have changed since then. I then moved to TD Ameritrade after it was recommended to me by a good friend who was using them and loved the service he was getting from them. It’s now been several years since I went to TD Ameritrade and I will never go to another broker no matter how much they want to give to me.

When I started with them, they were called TD Waterhouse. Their prices were competitive with their competitors, but their customer service was so much better than anyone else. After a short time of trading stocks with them, I called them up to discuss a few courses they were offering to their clients. When I asked the representative about why I shouldn’t go to another online broker since they keep sending me offers to join them at lower rates than what TD Ameritrade was charging, she asked if I could hold on for a moment to look into something. When she came back on the line, she informed me that she will be lowering my fees per transaction to what I was being offered by the others. The funny thing was that I wasn’t looking for her to do so since I felt that the quality of service they provided me with justified the fee I was being charged.

As for TD Ameritrade’s other services. they have a large selection of courses for their clients can take to improve their trades. Courses that will explain different trading techniques and so forth. These courses are free to any and all clients. They also offer consultations with one of their many representatives, also at no charge. The research they do for their clients is far beyond any other online broker that I’ve used in the past.

A little over a year ago they teamed up with SinkorSwim.com to increase the programs they offer to their clients. Sink or Swim is awesome for those who need to learn more about trading stocks or if you’re looking for some great investment tips. The seasoned investor and trader will also benefit from the program as well.

I don’t know who you are using to make your trades, but I will say that TD Ameritrade is the on stop for all you online stock market trades. No matter what trading style you use or how often you make a trade, they have everything you’ll ever need in an online discount broker.
