CHIO

I have an Interactivebrokers.com (IB) and thinkorswiw.com (TOS) account. Neither platform requires a phone call for permission. Since Ameritrade took over TOS, users can use the TOS platform. It seems silly that "pre-thinkorswim.com takeover account holders" can buy CHIO without a phone call. I bought CHIO last week on TOS without a phone call. I also bought CHIO in a Wellsfargo.com brokerage account without a phone call.

It may be possible to open a TOS account via the thinkorswim.com site (I haven't checked since the takeover) and avoid some of these hastles. The TOS has an excellent platform on the iphone, and its focus is upon technology updates.

IB is great if you are in front of your computer and have the software downloaded. The commissions and the available markets to trade in are great. The regular sign-in platform isn't anything to brag about. :)
