im not sure about tda's rules on commision charges for profits or buying bulk shares. i havent used them, but having to call in to buy shares is not cool, especially since it is up to them to fill your order. all i can tell you is what i have stated before with etrade, no call ins, no commision for profits except for the price to buy and sell, and no bulk share charges. plus when i was investing in GOIG if i had any questions they would walk me through it.
