lmao weren't we talking about pot stocks? that is what I was asking you. CRON and TLRY are not my favorite stocks - just like them in the weed industry - just to make that clear. CPSH is in my EV watchlist and I have traded it before.
I think we all feel the same way. Doing a few here and there but certainly not the volume I was doing daily. Impossible to trade that way until we get a confirmed bottom.
I like CRON and TLRY down here - what do you like?
yep I almost bought when it dipped under three but started doing dd and it went up again - here is NGM pipeline: https://www.ngmbio.com/pipeline/
NGM down 74% NGM Biopharmaceuticals Inc. said Monday that a phase 2 trial of the drug NGM621 didn't meet primary endpoint to treat patients diagnosed with in geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration.
RLMD down 78% experimental treatment for major depressive disorder as a monotherapy did not meet the primary endpoint in a Phase 3 clinical trial.
Wow, that Vanguard response sounds like it could have come from etrade.
omg wow! But the bottom line is that you probably called Schwab and got someone to speak with immediately (complete impossibility with Etrade) and they were able to rectify it. I am getting my account up and running with Schwab. My first transfer has been completed and I have another one in the works. I have yet to make a trade with them, but I have picked up the phone and called them a few times, tried their online chat, and contacted them via online customer service messages - absolutely NO PROBLEMS. It is like night and day if you have to compare Schwab with Etrade regarding their customer service.
But here's a very funny thing. After placing the first transfer and receiving notice from Etrade that it went through they sent this line in the email: If you haven't already told us why you made this transfer, we'd love to hear from you at the number above. Your feedback could help us do better.
OMG really Etrade? I (and hundreds of other customers) have been telling you for two years! You don't like customers who only trade stocks - because you don't charge commission anymore you treat these customers like trash.
OMG, why don't you call them? lmao - that is if you have no life and don't mind giving up a few hours of your day to them! I think it is apparent that Etrade is not the brokerage it once was. I am all setup on Schwab - created an account and put in for a partial transfer to get my feet wet and try it out. I will report my findings! I can already say that I had to call them while setting up the account because I had a question and a real person who was qualified connected with me within a minute and helped me out without them having to transfer me to someone else - the way Etrade does. So far, happy customer!
Yeah, so there is no actual email to use for them. The only paper trail they allow is the online customer service and you know for yourself half the time it is unavailable - I respond to an old inquiry and get the message to them that way.
I'm doing some research from former posts on this board. I know a few of you love Schwab. I was thinking about Ameritrade because I have used them over the years and never had a problem, but from what I read they were taken over by Schwab and they will completely migrate by the second half of 2023 to Schwab platform - that is probably why they are phasing out some of your old features you mentioned you can't find.
I want to use one of the major brokers - no small scale brokers for me - learned my lesson on them - do not trust them no matter how many like them.
I'm thinking about doing a partial transfer to get my feet wet and see if I like the new one or not. I'm hoping by doing that I can still keep the etrade platform for awhile.
Just need to decide which broker to try.
So Etrade strikes again! I decided to call them to discuss this reorg fee that they are no longer crediting me. Got a very nice rep on the phone but to tell you the truth as nice as she was, she really didn't have an answer. All I wanted to know is what constitutes active trader. She's looking at my account saying I have no idea why you aren't considered active trader - it looks like you make well above the amount of trades.
But here's the thing with this lame company. Now, when you call them, you first have to talk to a rep that really is just screening the calls and is not qualified to do anything - this happens every time. You tell the problem and then after awhile they say "I need to transfer you."
So this girl tells me she will have to transfer me to someone in Active Trader dept. She promised me she would explain the situation and then put me through to them. She puts me on hold and comes back and says she will transfer me to so and so. She merges the call and says this is so and so from the _____ dept. She apparently said the dept wrong and he had an attitude with her and is rude to her while I am on the line.
Then she gets off and I start telling him that I want to know why I am no longer active trader and why I am not getting reimbursed for the reorg fee. This jerk tells me that that fee is never reimbursed. It is a mandatory fee and no one EVER has been credited for it. They don't do this!
Well, I can tell you that I rarely get pissed off at customer service reps since they are just reading a script, but this guy was so blatantly rude and condescending telling me I didn't know what I was talking about and if I could show proof of it then he'd believe me.
So I said I will show proof give me a second to find it on the site. He says to me "I'm not waiting, I have thousands of other calls coming in." And I said "What? YOu mean you don't want me to prove you wrong?"
I lost it so big time with this guy that I can't believe it but I called him a Piece of Chit (but used the real word) and I hung up on him. He by far was the worst rep I ever came across. Had an attitude from the second he got on.
The only thing I was able to get out of this guy was that even though I make a lot of trades those are not what they consider active trader anymore - they want options and future trades so they make money off of you.
Welcome to the US of Apps! I can't imagine how anyone can function nowadays without a smart phone. I know of one or two dinosaurs who still don't have one.
Ah, ok! lmao Good luck, I hope it gets fixed!
Another broker for you, Otto? You are addicted!
That's a great point. And on Fidelity and Schwab not charging, is that for everyone or just active traders?
Wow, my guess is that once they got rid of commission they changed a lot of things. I remember APEX. Here's your answer:
TD Ameritrade Apex Account (2022)
TD Ameritrade APEX Has Been Discontinued
TD Ameritrade has discontinued its APEX account. Please use one of the alternative TD Ameritrade accounts or read TD Ameritrade Review.

Ok, so you opened up a can of worms here for me with Etrade! I decided to do a search on reorg charges in my account and I found out that of my four linked accounts, there were three charges in one and three charges in another and never a credit for any of them.
In the past, if you made 30 or more trades per quarter you were considered an active trader. I always got credited for these reorg fees.
So I contacted them via their website - and yes, they have online email turned off, but I replied to an old inquiry and was able to submit it.
I first received a reply stating that they reverse the charge for active traders but he check my account and I am not an active trader. I replied that I wanted to know what constitutes an active trader now? I got this answer: The requirements for Active Trader have changed. I am not able to provide the exact terms through secure message.
Just to give you an idea I counted how many trades so far this year I made:
Jan-193, Feb-142, March 215, April - 87, May-62, June-70, July=41, August-88, Sept-49 (as of this date).
The fact that they won't give a specific number as to what constitutes active trader status tells me this is a bunch of bs. It used to be clearly written in their TOS. Their answer is always "give us a call" but they clearly ignore the constant complaints about how difficult it is to get someone on the phone.
I might have been wrong on the credit:
The reorganization charge will be fully rebated for certain customers based on account type.
https://us.etrade.com/what-we-offer/pricing-and-rates
Yes, but I think that they are not giving that credit to high balance accounts anymore. I could be wrong but I seem to remember seeing a reorg fee that didn't get credited and this was post Morgan Stanley. Because of the phone wait I didn't even call about it. I can't get over how bad they have gotten. I only have kept them because I like the trading platform and have been using it for years. It's also a pain to transfer accounts - I've done it in the past. I'm going to go on the site to see if they mention credits for certain accounts. Also, did you try to email them by clicking on the last message that appears and hitting reply even if it has nothing to do with your issue now? It should work. I've done it.
One way you can email them is to respond to a former message you have up on that page. That will let you generate an email. I see from your last three posts that they have done NOTHING to improve. How long were you on hold? Also, before MS took over, when you got a reorg fee, you would always get a credit for it a day or two after it posts. I wonder if they still do that? I don't trade pennies anymore where there are many rev splits so I haven't checked.
FDX down hugely 23% - missed earnings expectations and pulled its guidance for the year - got some in the 157's - willing to hold long term
RYTM down 27% offering at 26
WLDS down 40% - another ipo - priced today at 4.25 - high of 5.85
CA chain restaurant of Japanese noodle - not chinese stock
YOSH down 20% - ipo that started trading Friday - was priced initially at 4
Ok, looks like they fixed it.
I guess you found the board? lol https://investorshub.advfn.com/Starbox-Group-Holdings-Ltd-STBX-41398

STBX roller coaster today - watch and don't get sick. up 642% second it opened
AKLI down 50% - was some kind of spac play - went up hugely- was in 40's in premarket
BWV tripled over the past few days - now down 43% - monkeypox play
Great morning bounce on SITM.
SITM down over 33% -70 - Reports Q2 (Jun) earnings of $1.11 per share, excluding non-recurring items, $0.10 better than the S&P Capital IQ Consensus of $1.01; revenues rose 78.5% year/year to $79.42 mln vs the $77.08 mln S&P Capital IQ Consensus. Lowered guidance and a few downgrades are what's bringing it down.
Yeah, I sold just under 10 and then it went north of 13! lol
Now up 150%
Huge bounce on VRAX today - up 83%
now down 72%
$VRAX down 58% some kind of monkeypox play
lmao that's a lot! There are a couple of others on that list I never heard of. I do remember Tradeking. The only small-scale broker I ever tried was choice trade and they were horrendous. Every time something went wrong they would blame it on their clearing firm. Then they changed to a different clearing firm and they still were the pits.
lol i never heard of them. How many brokers do you use? Geez!! I think the most I ever had at one time was three. It became annoying at tax time so I just consolidated to one.
