TD Ameritrade to Acquire Scottrade for $4 Billion

TD Ameritrade Holding will buy Scottrade Financial Services in a $4 billion deal, combining two leaders in the retail market for the buying and selling of stocks as the landscape for stock picking continues to lose favor to index investing.

The combined company will have 600,000 average client trades a day and $944 billion in client assets.
