That's one reason I switched over to Etrade. I actually like Etrade much better. They have a good checking account too that gets about 4x the national average. They give you a debit card and reimburse you for any ATM fees you get. I deposit stuff in my bank and transfer it over to Etrade. Then when I want to fund my trading account, the money is immediately available for trades. No 3 or 4 day waiting for funds to clear. And no, I don't work for Etrade.

Well over a year ago after continually pressing Scottrade for an answer to their SIVC ban I got some lame excuse from them but it's been so long I don't remember what I was told. All I remember is that their excuse was lame.

Back then someone suggested a plausible explanation for Scottrade - that NITE is short SIVC and the NITE head honcho is buddies with the Scottrade head honcho. They sit on each other's boards or something like that.

I've got my SIVC in IB, zecco, and (hah, hah, hah) Scottrade after ACATing my Roth IRA from IB to Scottrade.

If you are referring to TD Ameritade, they will buy and sell all the sivc you want. I've used them for years and they never had a ban as long as I've been there.
