There are big ones and small ones, cheap and expensive. Which to choose? Diversify and have a couple accounts?
I'm currently thinking a TD Ameritrade Roth IRA and an OptionsHouse indiviual account. That way I can toss 5500/yr into the Roth IRA and get access to the tools. Then I can put unlimited money in the individual account and trade ETFs and stocks cheaper.
The other thing though is that I am approaching the single income limits for IRA contributions. So likely I'll only be able to contribute to the IRA for less than 5 years, so maybe an IRA isn't even worth it if I'll only be able to put 25k into it.
If you know the basics are the tools that come with TD Ameritrade worth it? Or can you get most/more of it from forums and other websites for free.
