Fidelity Investments

Pros: Very high quality. A true "Class" broker
Cons: Just a little expensive compared to some others.

I started with Fidelity several years ago for their mutual funds and got signed up for a brokerage account later. They have a real nice web site, as they have made some improvements over the years.

The trading commissions are a bit higher...

Pros: powerstreet, excellent assistance,after-hours trading,bricks&mortar,longevity
Cons: slightly difficult navigation for first time users

Trust, confidence and stability is what Fidelity has been to me for over 15 years. With approx 40 trades per year qualifying me for Powerstreet I
have been very satisfied. Though It is not the easiest system for the first time trader, I find that...

Pros: there's quality and consistency
Cons: it doesn't offer much amenities; it's antiquated and misguided

Access to IPOs used to be great but now they've restricted it to people with 500k or greater in assets or people who trade over 36 times per year. also now the ipos just come from lehman brothers so they're not as great. Research is decent but you've got...

Pros: Low transaction costs (not THE lowest)
Cons: Slow to post daily transactions

I've used Fidelity for several years now, and find the transactions reasonably priced, and VERY quick execution. Additionally, their toll free phone service allows me to check up on my stocks, or by following the menu, talk to a real person. These...

Pros: great service and investment returns
Cons: none

Fidelity Investment services is by far the best available in the murky waters of financial investment and planning! They are rated best in my opinion for a number of reasons. I have invested over the years with such financial giants as Vanguard, Legg...

Pros: customer service, online assistance, automated phone assistance and additional information provided
Cons: none as of yet

When I started investing, I really had no choice as to which broker to use. My company chose it for me. Fidelity was the choice of the international company I was working for at the time and I am very glad they were the "chosen one". One of...

Pros: Great, Reliable Service

If you are thinking about which brokerage service to use then think no longer. I have the answer for you. Fidelity In vestments is the best. I have been using it for two years and have never been disappointed. It has good rates, and you never get...

Pros: name
Cons: slow and unreliable

I trade through Fidelity for my parents. I can say I would never open an account with Fidelity and I am in the process of getting my parents to come to their senses to transfer to another company.

They charge $25 for a trade and they don't...

Pros: Great customer service, very good on-line trading and reporting.
Cons: my only "con" was a hitch in my withholding processing.

When it came time for me to retire (and it came all too quickly), I went on a hunt for help in managing the funds from my 401-K after I rolled it over. Fidelity worked out to be the brokerage I chose and they have lived up to all my expectations. The...

Pros: Phone Service
Cons: Product Breadth

I've been trading online with Fidelity for two years. Overall I get pretty good service for the bargain price of $14.95 per trade, or $19.95 if I leave a limit order.
A few months ago they seemed to be experiencing volume delays online all the...

Pros: good service, unlimited options, "one stop" investment account
Cons: Online trade cost $20 per trade which is higher than the other well known competition

I hear a lot about Ameritrade, e-trade, daytech etc, but I think Fidelity is still the best way to go even though online trading is $20 a trade in comparison to the $8 to $10 a trade from the other companies. Fidelity may cost a bit more on the trading,...

Pros: a supermarket
Cons: complete lack of professionalism

I have been a customer of Fidelity Investments since at least 1990. Normally I would use the term client, except for the fact that at this organization...they prefer customers as opposed to clients. They are very much geared toward the individual...

Pros: Strong research, good management, many options
Cons: Too many options? Try Fidelity Monitor.

I have been investing with Fidelity Funds for over a decade, primarily with the aid of the unaffiliated Fidelity Monitor by Jack Bowers, a newsletter well worth checking out. The philosophy of the Fund managers is generally careful and conservative, and...

Pros: VERY GOOD SERVICE
Cons: HIGH TRAFFIC ON INTERNET

I retired in 1992 and because I wanted a secure brokerage firm and a large choice of mutual funds we picked Fidelity. Fidelity was the first brokerage house too allow trading to be held over your phone. It seems Fidelity leads the way in ideas and...
