Yes their trades are $7 compared to $8.95 but my thinking is the free reinvesting is well worth the difference. While talking with Schwab I was informed they are not in it for the fees. Sales talk? or not I'm moving to greener pastures as far as I'm concerned.
Greg the previous post about your thoughts with NLY has my attention.
Thanks guys for all you experience and time.
One last thought, I have been talking with my youngest, she is 18 and has 7k saved, I'm working on her to invest 5k of it in a Roth and forget about it. My thoughts are 5 Best of bread spread through the OIL, Retail, Food, Pharm, and Util sectors. .................. Thoughts? If she buys it, I'll even let her pic the stocks based on what she likes.
