Wanting to transfer my SIRI stock
I'm thinking about transferring my e-trade account to Ameritrade or Scottrade and so far seem to be leaning toward Ameritrade. I'll also be transferring my IRA account from Smith Barney.
Could I bother everyone with either one of these accounts to give me their opinion. This has come up before in other threads, but I would like the thoughts consolidated here.
Here is what I like about etrade.
1. immediate funding of Internet transfers
2. Easy selection of lots for tax purposes
What I don't like.
1. .2 decimal limitation
2. expensive after hours trades
thanks for the input.
Yeah i am thinking of ameritrade
I have a couple hundred thousand shares at sharebuilder and i just found out that they raised the large order surcharge to 2.5 cents per share over 1000 shares. That is crazy $5000 just to sell my stock, not that i am selling anytime in the next couple years anyway. Has anyone transfered their accounts before? I read about it and it seems ok, it just says 3-4 weeks for the time frame to complete the transfer. Im i not seeing something, or is ameritrade just a flat rate of $9.95 to trade my whole block of 200000 shares?
