I'm curious... which 4?? I use Finviz too

Robert, I wasn't looking for free options trading... I think you might have gotten that from the other poster about Robinhood. I agree with you there is always a catch. I have gone through many brokers and I am tired of changing platforms so my next broker must at least beat my current full...

Robert... thanks again for your feedback. I looked over Lightspeed and my trading volume (low-not a daytrader) doesn't justify the costs. Sfwind... Robinhood doesn't offer the accounts and option ability I want so it is out. Never heard of Webull so it is out for that. Now deciding to just...

Thanks... do you do options on both accounts?

sfwind, Thanks, some of that new technology might not be the right fit for me. You said you like it for small accounts... Is there a size limit? What would you consider small? THanks

Bob, Thanks. Both accts are JTWROS. Sure, I could separate them individually with TOD but that isn't what was set up. I can consider changing how they are held but I'm not there yet. I will check out your link. I did review it within reviews but the costs did not seem as competitive which is...

Merrill Lynch is my primary broker but I gave TOS a 1 year trial and that ended last month. Merrill gave me some money to bring my TOS money to them in the form of a second trading account. They said if I made swapped my wife's name as primary and me as secondary then there would be no problem...

Close the position and buy a book is my advice. Good luck

You got some great info on how to handle this trade. As far as taking on selling options to collect premium against your leaps... I wouldn't do that until you had a better understanding of options. My recommendation would be to take the profit now and buy a good book on options. Of course you...

Thanks to all that have added their thoughts to this. What prompted the post is my decision to close my TDA trading account as I simplify my trading. I also am dealing with taking over an elders estate as they fall further into dementia in their early 70s. Consolidating many small accounts takes...

Thanks for the feedback. The account is Joint so my instructions will really be for her to take care of it with one call to our broker having them close all positions in trading account and move them into a pre-planned investment allocation (spelled out in my "I'm dead now what" letter. All of...

Such a nice morbid thought that most young traders don't consider but maybe some older ones with families may have thought of. I have spent considerable time setting up a good estate plan to include wills, poa, trusts, life insurance, etc., so that is all good. My next plan is to spell out...
