I have Fidelity for my IRA. They are ok but super super hard to get on the phone.
I just got off the phone with TastyWorks and they said they are not restricting trades and in-fact are getting a ton of business because of others.
I am going to just go with them for me. Fidelity is good too but like i said super hard to get people on the phone sometimes. Not as bad as Etrade but TastyWorks is super fast.
Headed over to Fidelity. I've been hanging out for a couple of years trying to line up my ducks, and while they still aren't completely straight, I did manage to save up a few hundred dollars. I had no sooner set up my Aneritrade account and got approved than this whole gamestop debacle happened and I never got one trade in. I just set up with Fidelity and I'm nervous. I've never done this and I'm not that smart, but I'm gonna figure it out.
Greg, I'm with you on being part of a new fund. Great idea. I am sticking w my current broker though, even though many have had issues with them. I have not.
Guys, will stimulus get passed this week by Dems? Republican joint crap not gonna fly b/c it's only $1000 extra so a total of 1600 stimi vs. 2000 stimi. Thoughts? Thinjking of pumping in more into calls
I used Fidelity and I enjoy it 90% of the time. Sometimes it locks up and/or errors out, but nothing life changing. I do like their interface compared to TD and Vanguard.
All brokerages are large institutions. The big take away from the recent trade difficulties is simply how it is explained. If it's a systems issue, they're not deliberately "restricting" your trades. I encourage you all to read the Terms of Use from your broker. They are not liable for any of their actions. It's all in there, business continuity, broker-dealer potential conflicts, prohibited uses, means of access, disclaimer of warranty's, limitation of liability. It's all in there to protect them not you. Don't get a false sense of security from all of this. Its probably the beginning of the end for retail investing. Think about the accredited investor designation. This could easily be applied to all retail trading, requiring all market participants to have a million dollar net worth, otherwise, you have limited access. Problem, reaction, solution.
I mentioned this last week. I've had no problems with fidelity. Remember, they embrace Bitcoin, the central bank breaker

that doesn't mean they can't be influenced, but I do hold them other brokerages ATM
Debating of selling my actual silver bars...thoughts? Eh, nvmd...it'll eventually go up suepr long term...will just hold.
Silver supply is very low or non-existent.
Do not sell them yet, you will regret it.

I used Tastyworks for trading. They are not restricting GME, SLV, AMC, nor BBBY. I highly recommend using them.
Yes very hard to get on phone.
YES Fidelity has never been restricted me in over 20 years.. I shorted Game Stop Friday and sold my Game Stop & SLV this morning. No problems.
I have not had any issues with Fidelity and have been with them for 20+ years. Check them out Greg.
Hey Greg.....How is Fidelity working out? I am preparing to open a trading account for the first time and am trying to pick one. Thanks.
Good for you Gregory, If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything. And they expect us to fall for all sorts of bullshit right now!

Great choice, Greg....I think Fidelity is GREAT! 👍👍

Their logo is concerning to me though. (o)

Hey Greg, How is the Dollar and Futures pumping at the same time? Never see that
