Fidelity has really great research tools. Beyond that, they offer nothing impressive that stacks up well against my recommended online brokers. Commissions and fees can also be excessive for those that do not qualify for discounts.

They don't know they are in the people business. It is through the best employees ( that you can trust) that help grow a company. They have car salesmen trying to operate in the finacial world. Then they lie to try and cover their ass.

Convoluted processes, no exception pocesses. Once they have your money hard to get it back within reasonable amount of time. Do not do what promised. Constant follow up on them is required. Not a consumer efficient company.

Calling me a liar is unfair. I said they never made a mistake in MY ACCOUNT in 25 years, and I am sticking to the statement. I've never had a problem.

  botoo is so far off base he has to be a Fidelity management plant.  Fidelity makes errors each and every day. To say otherwise is a baldfaced lie.

  Fidelity will hold your money for extended periods of time before making it available to you.  Even a cashier's check needs to go through an extended collection period.  Workers are offered all kinds of training and perks until you actually ask for them.  Always a condition, always another lie.

Worse outfit ever.  I am an investment advisor and if you know what happens with their back office you would never trust a dollar with them.

An excellent website. Very easy to navigate, and great customer service.

Fidelity is easy to access and has great research materials.
