Nice CS folk but so very, very slow at moving $
Schwab works fine. I can't trade Canadian stock (well, unless I want to pay a big fee) so those, I buy OTC. The big problem with Schwab (look at all the 1*) is moving money around. A simple RMD, day after day: "well we received it Friday (It was mailed the prior Friday)--it took 7 days to arrive? Now, "it takes 3-5 days to move it from my IRA to my Reg-T account. WHY. It should take the same day, settled the next day. I have missed out of $124 today and that will get bigger, as the cash sits there waiting for them to remove it. (I took it out of Santacruz Silver and wanted to take the RMD > Reg T and buy the shares back, thus the loss. Very, very slow.
