Which brokerage for Roth IRA?!
I am looking to open a Roth IRA account. I currently already have a personal investment account with TD Ameritrade and 401k with Schwab. Leaning towards adding it on to TD, but unsure of possible fees saved at Fidelity or Vanguard being large enough to outweigh the burden of adding one more brokerage to the list. Let’s hear those opinions! Thanks!

I think any of the brokerages you list are fine.

Well TD and Schwab are merging so if you open at one of them, you'll end up at the other eventually.

I've had Schwab, TD, Merrill, eTrade, and BofA over the years, deff prefer TD and eTrade over the others.

I’m an E*trade person.

I like fidelity. No fees, good customer service if you need to call and good app / website

all of them are generally interchangeable. I use vanguard but I like fidelity bc you can buy partial shares of ETFs. And I like Schwab cause it has the nicest app

Hello,
I need advise on my below query, thanks in advance.
If I filter stocks among so many by parameters like market cap, sales growth, ROCE etc etc, and after getting 50-60 filtered companies, on which parameter should I sort to atleast start analysing with one company?

So Becker was supposed to charge me $600 to update for unlimited access since my account was due to expire in March. I called them in December to make payment. Now 8months later...they reach out to me saying they only charged $35. I just checked my bank statement and they are right but i don't have $600 sitting around...What do i do? Thoughts?

I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!
