Hi Argyll, I set up my Scottrade and wired the money on the same day with ACH and was up and running the next day. But I actually did not buy the stock for a day or two but it worked. Didn't take days.
Scottrade charges $7 plus 1/2% of principle on penny stocks. I may try lowtrade.com and close TD but I will sleep on it as I am in no hurry, I hope? lol
My friend finally transferred his funds from TD to Scottrade today and they charged him $30. TD also charges $50 if you want to transfer your entire holding to another broker. I kind of think Scottrade is a little more user friendly for me than TD is, but that's just me and I have many things to learn.
