Wow, I thought Etrade would be the first to go.
So they were likely haggling price when Schwab announced the 0 fee commissions a few weeks ago. It looks like that caused a 30% drop in TDAs stock over a couple of days. How's our offer look now!?! Savage! |

As someone who has worked for them for 20 years plus its simply a money grab with lawsuits as we are a very profitable company.
Baby powder traces of asbestos from the early 1980's they claim but don't sue anyone else that produces baby powder mined from the same area. Why? because they don't have deep pockets. The opioid crisis? we account for 1% of painkillers yet get called the "opioid kingpin" of the industry? What??? just a money grab that's all. I have a very strong position in them and know that long term they are about as safe as you can get, plus the dividends are excellent. |

At the advisement of CP, I started one at Vanguard. They have pretty low fee accounts. I also did a Target Date fund that automatically re-allocates as you get closer to retirement.
