td ameritrade has had a lot of bugs lately bdp..im swichting to fidelity.

I just got off the phone with a rep who verified that my trade was never received. She said there was an enormous volume occurring over a very short period of time which crashed their system. The Mobile app is still crashed.

I've been using Fidelity for about 23 years now. They rarely have issues with their website or Active Trader Pro. Granted, their Active Trader Pro is nothing like Think or Swim BUT it's reliable and you can make trades online or via their windows or mobile app. I love being able to deposit checks from my iPhone. They have local offices too where you can go visit them. Great solid financial institution.

One of the dumbest comments I have ever read on any message board. Fed raises rates on economic conditions, threats of inflation, employment numbers etc. Not on whether they need to reposition themselves for future recessions or to force consumers to save.

I really cannot believe I just read that. Unbelievable. YOU want a rate hike because of those reasons. I have never ever seen either of those reasons ever enter a rate decision by the Fed. I'm outta here!

The issue with the anti rate hike mentality is purely based on the idea of maintaining an out of control bull market and a desire to retain profits. All that QE and keeping interest rates at low levels has done is provoke the rising of markets. Any rational person will understand that continuing on this path will only cause further damage down the road. I understand that postponing a rate hike may help the markets and we all can become a bit richer, but at what cost?

EDIT: I do clearly understand the economic concepts and underlying global repercussions of raising interest rates, and it is unfortunate that the pressure may very well be too great, forcing interest rate hikes to be postponed which will keep the strength of the dollar in check. I still say the sooner we get on with it the better.

+1 ... with bear markets (recessions) comes an opportunity to set new highs across the board. YEEHAW! Hell, you might even see SIRI at $5 down the road if this is a real correction. Wait, I am daydreaming.

Will this be looked as a stock market crash or a stock market correction??? Picked up some more Comcast. Took a while for the trade to go through........

"Correction" or "Crash"? Does it really matter........in the long term?

Here is something ironic to chew on.....Anyone who follows BM will know this, not sure any do....but he basically right before earnings called to sell siri based on what he was seeing at the time.
