Charles Schwab in talks to buy TD Ameritrade, deal could be announced as early as today

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/21/cha...-announced-as-early-as-today-source-says.html

One less option for traders.

 

Think or Swim may become available internationally as a result of this merger.

 

I agree. However, currently I believe Charles Schwab within the European Economic Area (EEA) only accepts new accounts from residents of Germany, UK, Spain and Switzerland. Hopefully that will change.

 

Who's next? Perhaps SCHW just buys ETFC as well.

 

Done deal

IS TD stock a buy?

 

ETrade Financial shares dropped 4.5% as many expected the broker to be the first acquisition target

So how long before Fidelity gobbles them up

 

The problem with ETFC is small assets. Big boys won't care about them.

 

I kinda knew this would be happening but not this soon.

 

Does anyone have experience with trading futures and futures options at Schwab?

I am just wondering how much Schwab will ruin the ethos of thinkorswim.
Any suggestions for trading futures and futures options if the thinkorswim part of TDA goes downhill because of this takeover? Thanks.
