Basically I'm with them because I see no need to change!
Our investment club here in TV (OBGIC) uses Scott Trade and I see no advantages or disadvantages.
Good Luck, but for my real money I use a certified financial planner.
My on line account is small (and getting smaller).

Thanks aln. We signed up with Scottrade yesterday. They have local offices which I like having for some goofy reason. And Mr. Boomer liked the helicopter in the ads. So that was pretty much it.
We may do a fee-only CFP at some point but have not yet. I just never buy anything that I do not understand and I never buy anything that will not let me sleep at night. I am truly boring. But I do worry that someday I may flip out and start buying Pez dispensers and Beanie Babies.
