Scottrade

Let me just say that when I hung up with them, they told me to refer to the branch where I opened up my account at. I don’t see why another branch can’t help me out when I am a Scottrade client.
I called because I had some questions about the ticker change on one of my stocks. They were able to answer SOME, of my questions. The answer I was looking for turned out to be wrong the following day when I checked back on the web.
Maybe that’s why the Hamilton branch has much better reviews

I second ninja
lack of customer service
not very warm or friendly

Pffft.
Lack of customer service + no dividend reinvestment = FTL.
Seriously, there are better options out there. For $ 7 a trade, I’d expect more. Scottrade is too basic which would be good for someone who is new or has makes large trades (but even then, why are you with a discount broker)?

Are we heading into a recession? Does it make sense to buy stocks now or later? Is it just going to get worse? This is the mindset of many people now a days. In case you are a risk taker and want to dabble in the naughty market, then Scottrade is a good, reasonably priced, sound alternative to Chuck and Smith Barney. $ 7 trades, easy to use website, and friendly staff are what enable me to keep this account. This location is definitely not very «fru-​fru,» Picture PF Chang’s and it’s nicely constructed strip mall. Now, look across the street, and notice the vacant lot and sketchy building. Scottrade is on the first floor next to citibank. Although the office is pretty basic with no frills, parking is easy, and recall you can use the internet and phone to make transactions.
