I agree with Fidelity, but you should know that they also sell annuities. An annuity is a life insurance contract, and is usually a bad investment.

I agree. Banks can have stockholders in line to make money. (Health insurance companies have stockholders and we all know how that affects our premiums.) Btw, Bank of America acquired Merrill Lynch in 2009 but their investment side calls itself Merrill, no mention of that pesky BOA name.
I like Fidelity but others I know are happy with Schwab and Vanguard and Edward Jones.
Schwab has stockholders. Fidelity and Vanguard do not. Of the big ones, Fidelity and Schwab have a bricks-and-mortar presence. Vanguard does not. Edward Jones has its advisors in individual offices.
