Hi Allen.
They have a lot more features than extended trading hours.
TD Ameritrade is the result of the merger between TD Waterhouse and Ameritrade. I had accounts with both prior to the merger and was happy with both, but TD Waterhouse really had the best on line service from an ease of use standpoint.
And I have used their local offices from time to time for account maintenance purposes mostly. Some of the folks at those offices try and drum up more business (revenue) or want to manage your money, but I have always cut that off at the pass.
They don't even call me anymore 'to touch base' because they know I'm not interested in that other stuff.
In over 15 years of working with TD on line, I can only think of 2 times I questioned a trade that didn't fill when it should have and after following up they made good and filled them even though the price had changed to their disadvantage.
Now I have literally made thousands of trades in my AIM account over those 15 years, so it is to their advantage to keep me happy.
I don't have any experience with other on line brokers so can't comment on any of them.
I also have some mutual fund holdings at Fidelity but that's mostly B&H stuff so don't interact much with them.
