I am done with their shite website and service. I think Charles Swab is also listed as a good provider on here? Do they have free trading of OTC?

TIA

I do have an old 401K in a Empower account, anyone familiar with them?

Their website has been up and down all morning and don't even waste you time trying to call.

I have a 401k through empower and they are alright.

I switched to fidelity from vanguard a few years ago because I hated their website.
I am very happy with Fidelity.

For now, but there was a notice included with my statement last month about fee changes and it said they were charging $6.95 for OTC trades starting December 6.

I only use Schwab for OTC. Switched to them from Fidelity because Fidelity wouldn't let me YOLO into non-current OTC plays. But with the new SEC rules that went into effect in September, can't buy non-current stocks anywhere now. So I may switch back to Fidelity if they remain commission free after Schwab implements fees.

Wish Webull would offer OTC trading because their app and interface is by far my favorite. I use it for my main account. Only knock I have on them is I wish they'd offer the option to choose which lot to sell from if selling part of a position instead of always being FIFO

Add another endorsement for Fidelity.

I have investments on Fidelity, TD Ameritrade and T Rowe Price and Fidelity is by far the best.

We use TD Ameritrade, Schwab, and Fidelity for our personally managed stuff. They've each been fine. I know folks who use Interactive Brokers and are pleased

Etrade has always been great to me. Don’t know why they are not mentioned more often.

I’m on Fidelity. The site is easy to negotiate. The app works well. Setup was pretty painless. I’m happy with it.
