I am an individual investor and moved my account from Scottrade to Firstrade about 2 years ago. I read in the AAII Magazine that Firstrade offered investment opportunities in more Mutual funds than other online brokers. I think this is true but for reasons i don't understand some funds are not covered on the "Real time quotes" system. For reasons i don't remember, i decided to try Etrade and placed an IRA and bought a natural gas fund online. Last month i decided to transfer everything to Firstrade mainly because of the fees being charged by Etrade. I'm having trouble transferring the IRA to Firstrade and really don't know why since i believe i have sent in all necessary paperwork. Etrade charged a $60.00 transfer fee for my natural gas fund. That totals $120.00 they have charged in the passed month. To sum up i am thinking of moving everything back to Scottrade.
