11/19/2007 | Pretty good; no major complaints so far. Trade execution is as near to instantaneous as I could desire, and the personal consultations don't cost anything. Researching on their website is a mixed bag--some of the data you can pull there is better than anything I've found on the free internet, but I still go to Yahoo finance for a lot of companies (especially foreign) they don't cover. Beware of the hidden fees in Schwab mutual funds, which they try just a little too hard to sell to you. You're usually better off in index funds anyway.

01/23/2007 | Schwab's response to complaints about well-documented customer service issues experienced by multiple clients was to resign the ($4 million) account!

07/13/2005 | I left Interactive Brokers to get the better per-share pricing at CyberTrader. The account approval/funding process took several days longer than they said it would. The software user interface made it impossible to see if my limit orders were still the best bid. Futures contracts cannot be held overnight making it hard to hedge positions. Then I discovered another limitation that made it impossible for me to trade my best strategy. Closing my accounts was very frustrating. It took several days and 20 phone calls. They committed two acts of incompetence, delayed every step, and ended up charging me TWICE the fees the website indicates!

07/02/2004 | Firm has slipped badly in recent years,they have re-organized about 50 times,moved people around for no apparent reason,and still have lousy salaries.Only the top dogs get paid well and Charles Schwab himself is not involved in the day to day business.Fees are way to high.Why are these people still in Business?

04/15/2004 | I've been with Schwab since 1995. They have done a decent enough job, but since I bought a house last summer and pulled my account below the trigger point, the fees are ruining my account. They are pulling $40 per Roth per year and charging $30 per quarter on my brokerage acct. It will cost me $95 per account to have my assets transferred to another broker.

07/02/2003 | there seems to be a aewer breed of represenatives taking hold at Schwab. Seems that many have just been brought in from local car dealers.
So if you do not mind spending big bucks on your tranactions while being abused by their less than professional staff, this your place,

10/08/2002 | Can you believe they charged me a $60 termination fee? The quarterly fees were enough to make me switch. After being hammered on my positions in Telecom and networking in solid companies that are still doing well, Schwab has the audacity to charge me for not trading and for closing my account. If not for their good customer service they would get a terrible.
