I use Ameritrade, but I don't exactly know why (maybe because of all the advertisements?). I like the fact that I can transfer funds electronically though, but thats about it.

I have been a happy customer of Scottrade for almost 10 years. I also have Ameritrade because they handle my company's ESPP and stock option distributions. It's all right, but I would prefer to do everything via Scottrade if I could.

I use morgan stanley just cause I have a preferred client account with them so I get priviledged stocks. For instance, I am getting google shares at IPO price when the finally come public. Good way to make money

I use Ameritrade and First Clearing house (a division of Wachovia).

I wasn't able to input both in the poll.
