OK, so I had an old E*Trade account from my computer industry days. It still had $126 in it, and E*Trade started charging me a fee of $40/quarter for the privilege of possibly doing business with them in the future. So I decided to close my account and transfer the money out. Today, three weeks later, I got my money… Well, $66 of it. They charged me $60 to give me my money back! That’s almost 50% of what I had left.
If you need to open an investing account somewhere, don’t use E*Trade! They’re e*vil.
