Charles Schwab - "Better than my full service broker that I used for over 30 years! I can do everything I want to do with no hassle."
John Henderson - USA (Nov-2010) - Reply or add your Charles Schwab review

Charles Schwab - "I have over 20 years investment experience. Over the last 3 years I have traded with TD Ameritrade, Charles Schwab, E-trade and Scotttrade. Also, I have extensive experience with brokerage firms such as Morgan Stanley, UBS Painewebber, Solomon Smith and Barney, Brown Brothers Harriman and Citigold. I do not believe there are regulations in place to protect retirement plans, IRA’s or general savings. I believe “Wall Street” (a term used to describe the financial sector here and around the world) has become incredibly dishonest and unlawful. The SEC and FINRA are failing as such should be replaced by new agencies. My experience with online trading is the tail of two cities I have had great success with E-trade. Scotttrade also appears to perform well, however I do need more time to properly evaluate this company. As far as TD Ameritrade, you have no control over your account; I have had good trades backed out and I have not been able to execute certain trades. Their front page (Balance and Positions) is the weirdest thing I have ever used. They have a special rule that stymies the trader’s ability to navigate their investment and they refuse to fix their problems. E-trade gives you your gain and losses immediately. TD Ameritrade porn’s this data to a third party who TD disclaims they are not responsible for their data you receive. They are making incredible profits and myself and others feel their staff is ether demoralized or in denial. Schwab is worse than TD Ameritrade. This is my experience, I am not endorsing any trading house, however, please be careful with all online brokers."

Charles Schwab - "The very best, absolutely the best, they treat me like a king, platinum service every time, this is a copany that will be around for a long time. If they make a mistake they undo it and make it right, everyone is a VIP at Schwab and after my horrendous time at TD ameritrade I now am back where I belong, thank-you Chuck!!! "

Charles Schwab - "F*** Chuck! When they decided to screw the little guy, whom they had always promised "No Fees!", people like me paid to close accounts before having very big fees added. Now I am happily with Scottrade, have seen a zero added to my account and am laughing at Schwab. I only make a few trades a day since time Schwab ripped me off. They will never have another penny of my money. They are lying to you."

Charles Schwab - "I am delighted with Schwab's comprehensiveness and ease of use. Schwab's rating of stocks is a helpful point of departure, and reseach information is easily accessible. Telephone assistance when needed is competent and courteous."

Charles Schwab - "Schwab has made two serious errors. 1st on my Roth IRA they posted my 2003 contribution to 2004. 2nd on my joint (non IRA account, when Suntrust bought NCF they gave me cash instead of stock which I had requested by returning the appropriate form by return mail. Because of these 2 errors I am moving my accounts."
Judith Hauser - North Carolina, USA (Mar-2005) - Reply or add your Charles Schwab review

Charles Schwab - "Very helpful. Very responsible with my money. Reasonable access to information based on my moderate investment portfolio. I like the fact that Schwab is back at the helm. I use their internet banking services. They do not make mistakes. Trades are handled efficiently."
