I have been with E-trade for about two years now. It has been a great experience. I am a power E-trade customer and the platform speaks for itself. As far as money been stolen, never. I can see that allot of the comments below don't specify the time period for the money lost or the immediate circumstances surrounding those issues. I fully recommend their service and platforms to any aspiring Active Investor. Since you will qualify for the Power E-Trade does maintenance charges and what not don't apply.
