    Another question:

    Could I open a checking account at Etrade but do all my mutual funding and such at Fidelity?

        But would it be costlier than sticking with one?

            Thanks. Now back to making financially disasterous decisions.

                Yup.

                I just don't see the point of opening a saving account with the interest on the checking being higher.

                  Other than that the savings has no minimum amount required for the interest rate. But 5k isn't that hard to put in a checking let alone a savings.

                    Both Fidelity and Chuck are good. Ameritrade and Etrade are not safe during financial distress.

                    Scottrade has very cheap commission, but it fleeces you through market making.

                            Well, I don't think many people with less than 5k would really be setting up savings accounts.

                                Unsafe?

                                Ameritrade and eTrade do not have the financial reserves of Fidelity or Schwab. If they hit a rough patch, they may go under or get bought out. This might interrupt access to your funds, but FDIC and SIPC insurance would prevent you from losing your funds (unless you have over $100,000 in any FDIC account or $100,000,000 in any SIPC account).
