I have an eTrade account with a reasonable balance in it and they treat me like crap. They lose stuff generate fees and when they don't have an answer just make stuff up. They've sent checks in the amount of $25,000 USD to my ex-girlfriend's house (a former addess from years ago) right before my wedding and the list goes on and on. In that case my company had to call the boobs and FORCE them to issue another check as they refused to follow their contract obligations in that case until I got traction at a very high level because I was desparate and needed my own money to pay for the wedding. they acknowledged their mistake but refused to issue another check. and I had to board a plane to fly to another country. Fortunately our corporate folks were able to get them to come to Jesus but who wnats to deal with idiots like this?
They suck more than I can even explain. If you use them you want pain...
They screwed up a couple of trades as their "Brokers" are just boobs that are clueless buffoons right off a park bench. I end up just doing it myself. Oh yeah and getting them to call you back is like waiting to be discovered in Hollywood.
Did I mention that eTrade sucks worse than a getting a root canal without anesthetic while riding a psychotic horse through a burning barn?...
I'd go with Schwab if I were you and needed a brokerage account.
Good luck man!
