Ret. account - Merrill, Fidelity, Schwab?

July 24th, 2012, 10:36 AM

Hi guys,

I am looking for an account to trade stocks and ETFs (long-term for retirement) in addition to my day trading accounts I have. I am not US resident, therefore IRA is not necessary to consider.

I am banking with HSBC, TD Bank and Bank of America. TD Ameritrade is out of question as they do not accept European customers. Because of my bank acct. at BofA, I am looking at Merrill Edge. Does anyone has experience with it? How does it stand compare to (let say) Fidelity or Schwab?

Or maybe other suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

One more thing - would it be safe to use IBKR for this?
