From Barrons "Investors Bear the Brunt of Merging Brokers"

"Consider the news this October that Scottrade will be acquired by TD Ameritrade Holding (ticker: AMTD). The deal set off a flurry of posts at Websites such as MutualFundObserver.com from worried investors about what this could mean for their fund portfolios. As one angst-ridden poster with the handle VintageFreak put it, “NO NO NO!!! Not TD Ameritrade.”

    I will fondly remember the humble VF before he became famous and quoted in a global publication. We will likely be an easy to forget footnote in the life of VF !

    I forgot that thread, but I must admit being fairly pleased going on 10 years with TD Ameritrade, starting back in my active futures / day trading days with ThinkorSwim.

    "angst-ridden"

    OMG, I hope that's not contagious.

    giggle. Rather than TD Ameritrade, I've been eyeballing TD, the bank. Well, ALL of the six major Canadian banks. Highly regulated. Seems a safer bet than US banks, coming up. I just KNOW the coming deregulation means trouble for ordinary people. And those six Canadian majors hold 90% of deposits in that country. Dividends are reliable as the sun and the moon. But I'm sorry--- this is a mutual fund board, just like "it's a song about Alice," remember? ;)

    @hank- Not to worry- angst-ridden is sorta like fleas or bedbugs... not contagious unless you sleep there...
