Will you stay with Cyber/Schwab if they only offer per trade pricing?

Discussion in 'Retail Brokers' started by Chetnik, Apr 25, 2007.

  1. CT Rep,

    Currently, since CT clears thru Penson & Schwab is self-clearing, the sum of uninvested cash in accounts at both firms can exceed $100k and still maintain full SIPC protection (as long as both are below $100k individually).

    Now, with the integration, in order to keep full SIPC protection on uninvested cash, must the sum of uninvested cash be below $100k on any Schwab accounts PLUS the integrated Cyber account?

    Is the only way to maintain full SIPC protection in that scenario to withdraw money from Schwab to keep it below $100k?

    Thank You

  5. What time is it & do you have the link?

    Maybe I've ticked them off with the questions I've had.

    Thank You.

    Nobletrading.com is the closest I could find after extensive research. They don't have a stock screener though which has stopped me from going to them so far. If they would get one I would be there in a jiffy.

    If the link doesn't work log on to the CT website and go "Education", "Upcoming Events", Webinars" it's the first one listed.

    If your an active trader call them up and tell them what you getting now. Its called bargaining. Plus if you read the site you would see the picture better.

    It was just stating what i found the most comparable.

  10. Seaside,

    Regarding your SIPC question, the max protection is $100k per client, not account. FYI, Schwab provides additional protection through Lloyds. IF the account has 'cash' invested in money market funds, this would technically be classified as securities, not cash. SIPC protects up to $400,000 in securities (in addition to the $100k in cash).

    As for the webinar, I can confirm that we are indeed hosting a live presentation Wednesday afternoon. I'll be one of the presenters, so bring your questions. As for the webinar link, call in and we'll email that right over.

    Thanks,
