Zacks Research picks May and June

It's the McDonald's of online trading.

Decided not to sell my SWIM shares and instead take the Ameritrade shares. Uh oh

Good long-term prospects.

Long term the traditional Financial Services companies will be replaced by specialists

Transaction volume increasing very fast. Stock transactions will grow with time giving more share to AMTD. Good investments tools provide more service to customers.
A good portion owned by TD bank which is also a success story.

Billions in cash waiting to come flooding back into the Market. You gotta' use somebody to trade it. I like these guys!

Is engaged in providing securities brokerage services and technology-based financial services to retail investors and business partners. Predominantly through the internet, a national branch network and relationships with independant registered investment advisors. The company offers touch-tone trading, trading over the internet, unlimited, streaming, free real-time quotes, extended trading hour, direct access and commitment on the speed of execution to its customers.

Massive destruction of wealth via the stock market can't be good for the future of online brokerage firms.

A good discount broker with a commanding position. Commissions reasonable plus all the bells and whistles an average or above average investor would ever need. I hope one of the major stockholders do not burn a witch at second base!

Probably will do well, but is poised against Charles Schwab and OptionsExpress. It's only an underperform pick here as a sector ballast for me.

TD AMERITRADE Holding Corp. (Nasdaq:AMTD)
I'm sold from previous pitches, I like TD AMERITRADE because it provides technology-based financial services and securities brokerage services though its subsidiaries in the United States.
I also like that the company provides common and preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds, option trades, mutual funds, fixed income, margin lending, and cash management services.

THIS IS GOING MY WATCH LIST. IF THE OWNERS OF THIS COMPNAY CAN AFFORD TO BUY THE CUBS/WRIGLEY FIELD/25% OF THE NETWORK RIGHT THEY MUST BE DOING SOMETING RIGHT.

THE BIGGEST DRAWBACK I SEE IS THIS-with retail brokerage representing the vast majority of its business. RETAIL IS GOING TO SUFFER HUGE IN 09-WATCH ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that people are saving again, they need a place to keep their cash... With the discount prices on Wall St., methinks Ameritrade will prosper (Plus having TD Waterhouse to do their taxes won't hurt either).
