It's like throwing a curtain over the cereal aisle in the supermarket and charging for a peek. Waterhouse, which has a wide fund selection, shows the public only the fund families it carries. That means the very fund you want they might not have. You need to call the 800 number displayed on the page to ask about an individual fund. I have to fault Datek and Ameritrade on both selection and display.
Display is for customers only.
That's our focus. Those products have taken precedence. As for Ameritrade, it doesn't offer any NTF funds. The funds it does have are behind the account curtain. Fees Two main fees matter here, fees to buy or sell a fund, and fees for trading a fund short term.
