Ameritrade (fka AMTD)

[Highlandmike]

So just curious... why the downturn in the pps here? Any ideas? AMTD

[sand]

shareslanger -- not sure if you got free trades on etrade or not -- most are not but if you call in and request much like charles schwab is doing which is free trades on otcbb they might grant it case by case basis

[TheSittingtight1]

$0 commission at E-trade as of yesterday on OTC buys/sells

TDA will loose millions in deposits if they can't compete.

[Hawkeye_tt]

I did see that also. It was misstated in an article. We need to keep calling
so they both give in for the OTC traders also.

Etrade does not have free otc I am staying with TD $4.95 per trade better than $6.95. Frome Etrade just now "Macon G:
Our $0 commission only applies to listed securities and OTC stocks are not included." I.E. $6.95 per trade.

[MWM]

I have some weeklies and some November. The Big action today was in the three week out October 25th $38 Calls...

Earnings are on the 21st...

[Hawkeye_tt]

News: $AMTD Is TD Ameritrade a Buy?

In a surprising shake-up of the brokerage industry, Interactive Brokers and Charles Schwab both announced recently that they would be dropping commissions  on stock trades. Then other leading brokerages followed suit, including TD Ameritrade (NASDAQ: AMTD) , which slashed its tradin...

Thanks Hawk. I'll try giving them a call tomorrow to see if I can score any free trades. Knew it sounded too good to be true. The OTC is crazy enough. Imagine OTC with free trades, lol. Maybe some day, though?

TDA seems very random with giving away free trades. I've called several times in the past few years with complaints and only about 25% of the time I was granted free trades to compensate me for the inconvenience of the issue I was calling about.

[Hawkeye_tt]

They are Not matching 0 for trade Com, like E Trade for OTC.
Just listed stocks.
I asked nicely for a pile of free trades .......
Said they need to look at matching E Trade fully OR people will jump.

Hawk


Note: $0 commission applies to exchange-listed U.S. stock, domestic and Canadian ETF, and option trades. $0.65 per options contract fee, with no exercise or assignment fees. A $6.95 commission applies to online trades of over-the-counter (OTC) stocks (stocks not listed on a U.S. exchange).

[shareslanger]

What did you say?. I just called in asking why TDA isn’t going to $0 on OTC like Etrade and the lady didn’t offer me any free trades lol

[Hawkeye_tt]

Still charging for OTC for now. Just spoke w/ TDA. Call and ask
for a pile of FREE trades while they consider matching ETrade.

Hawk

[Hawkeye_tt]

0 for OTC trades also? like E Trade is doing ?

[nowwhat2]

Low this morn. 33.35 / High : 34.47 (which would be a gap down thru this line).....


Correction : This chart is just yesterdays' opening bell (give or take an hour)
The low and close yesterday was around 34.50

So it's merely slicing thru the line (and NOT down-gapping thru it)








This is from before the Schwab news hit the wire

[Lime Time]

Bigass GAP after hours. Will most likely be an up day for AMTD, but definitely one to watch. $0.00 commission nice nice nice.

[Lime Time]

YESSSS. $0.00 commission fees starting 10/3. Very good for users. Not so great for shareholders, but it will recover. Seems they will all go to $0.00 commission eventually. Down 25% after hours.

[onfirestocks]

ZERO COMMISSIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS POS GOT CRUSHED TODAY. I NEVER HAVE TO PAY FOR TRADES AGAIN COOL!

[pennyking130]

This is going to blow up tomorrow bet the house this was gonna happen $$$$$

[seventhcircle]

Was gonna take some calls but not sure if this is bottom .

[blindjohn]

Depends on how they Adapt or change commisions

[seventhcircle]

Any bounce or this one gonzo?

[FRED8]

In the end, yes indeed.

[mnfats]

Duds are good.

[FRED8]

Oh, did it pass? I'm still waiting.
It was a torturous wait...for nothing really.
Dorian was a dud here.
Gabrielle is all but gone.
I cannot watch the weather anymore. :-/

[mnfats]

Looks like you dodged a bullet. Lot of rain, but not a direct hit.

[FRED8]

Slowest moving storm I ever saw.
Not bad here. Worst was just after 1 AM, this morning.
North of here will have more to worry about...Georgia, Carolinas, et. al.
Bahamas, with 23-foot surge, is quite a disaster area.

[Hawkeye_tt]

Staled out right now ?!

M

[FRED8]

Finally begins...35 mph winds as the appetizer. Next 24-48 hours will tell the tale.

[FRED8]

The scale does not go above 5, mainly because the destruction factor does not compute after the strongest hurricanes on record. Not sure I fully go along with it, but apparently there is no worse destruction past 180, as it is designated catastrophic above a Cat. 4. It seems to me, if the unthinkable 200 mph or above occurs, like an F3 tornado, it can be worse.

I guess past thinking is, when buildings are gone, nothing is worse.

[FRED8]

May lose power late tomorrow night (Monday/Labor Day).

[mnfats]

You know what the Boy Scouts say.

You're right about the wind speed. Someone did mention a Cat 6.

[Hawkeye_tt]

That will be coming way inland.
When do U expect to lose Power?

M

[FRED8]

Not a bad idea. Either that, or SCUBA gear.
We may need a 5.5 hurricane designation (although, above 185/200 may not make much of a difference).

[mnfats]

Better go to sleep tonight wearing a life jacket.

[FRED8]

20 - 30 feet

[mnfats]

Last I heard moving at 1 mph. Bahama's must be getting hammered.

[FRED8]

HAPPY HURRICANE/LABOR DAY.

I think I will take the day off...

and go for a swim. Maybe something like this:

[Hawkeye_tt]

How High is the Storm Surg looking w/ that Wind speed??

M

[FRED8]

LOL, I can see that.

[FRED8]

This slow moving monster is like waiting on a dangerous snapping turtle.

[mnfats]

I thought that may be a women's body.

[mnfats]

Not going to get you head on, but you may get a little wet.

[FRED8]

Thank you Ron. Got my hurricane face on:

[FRED8]

Thank you, and yes, I always stick around. Get together with neighbors and help them.

[mokew]

We are all thinking about you, hold on tight.

[Hawkeye_tt]

Wish U the best.
Sticking around ?
