I talked with "Ted" from the home page today:
http://www.tdameritrade.com/welcome1.html
You: How are you feeling, Ted?
Ted: I'm good, thanks. How are you?
You: My colon is giving me a little trouble, but other than that, I'm fine.
Ted: That's good to hear. What questions can I answer for you today?
You: Why does the sun shine?
Ted: I want to help with your inquiry, so please rephrase your question so I can understand it better.
You: Do your bees wax?
Ted: Good question, I'm not sure I know how to answer that. If you would like, you can contact a New Accounts representative by email, phone, or Live Chat. Click Contact Us or the Chat link below. Chat Live with a Person
You: No thanks, Ted. I like your voice. What are you wearing?
Ted: "Dress for success", that's my motto. Most important though, is the success of TD AMERITRADE's clients. How can I help you?
You: Well, you can help with my TARP funding application. I am asking for a billion dollars. Do you think that is too much?
Ted: During the online account opening process, you can choose to chat with a live representative by clicking "Chat Online" located in the upper right corner of the Web page. View Page
