How To Open An Account At TD Ameritrade

I've opened a $150,000 portfolio and you can see how I manage it at http://startbuyingstocks.com. How to open a stock brokerage account at TD Ameritrade. Buying stocks is something that most everyone should take the time to learn so that they can build up their savings in order to have enough to retire on. You can open a TD Ameritrade account with as little as $100 and you can do it online in about 30 minutes. The stock market appears complicated at first but buying and selling stocks is really quite easy and certainly something anyone can do.

1. hi bruce do i have to pay a fee to wire money from my bank account to the brokerage account?
2. what hapend if Im not from USA and I live in another country?.
   I don't have social security number, what should I declare in that section?
   Do I have to pay taxes in USA?
3. Why is doesn't this broker require a minimum amount of money compared to other online brokers such as etrade? What's the catch?
4. TD Ameritrade is pathetic..I swear they run their website off a Commodore 64 . Their Tech support does not have a clue.
   We had one of their "salesmen" call my wife at work (Pathetic) trying to get her to open a 401K with them.
   Also when the market was taking a huge dip..their website went down (way to be there in critical times AMTD) and when I called to inform the tech...he was clueless.
   Google Ameritrade sucks....
5. Hello,
   Thanks for the informative video.
   I live outside the US and I am a non-US citizen. I do not have a US Social Security Number or ITIN. I want to open an account with TD Ameritrade. How do I get around this issue?
6. what i dont understand is why do they need my w9 form if putting employment status is not required? If it has to do with tax, social numbers are not enough?
7. Is it possible to trade if you have student loans?
8. What's the minimum amount of money you are required to put into an account? Is $30 enough to start with?
9. I am not a us citizen although i do have a SSN....will i be able to create an account even though im not a citizen or legal resident.
10. So How much money do I need to send them in the mail along with my paper form that I need to sign? Can I just write a check with the amount of money I want to trade with?
11. Hey Bruce, I'm not an american so I don't have a social security number is there any option to create an account without a social?
12. I've been trying to get Tier 3 advanced options upgrade a few time already, but each time they're denying me and when i ask them what i need to have in order to get tier 3 advanced, they say we can't give that information. Do you by any chance know how to get Tier 3 Advanced upgrade?
13. when i did it, it said i had to put in a $2,000 min is that true
14. Thanks for the Video! really useful information, but i was wondering, i'm not a U.S citizen, how is the procedure for opening an acount without a social security number, and when stocks are sell, how can gains get claim since i am in another country?
15. does this actually work? any feedback?
16. I'm stuck on the part where they ask me:

    Margin privileges
    
    Options trading
    
    OR
    
    Cash account only
    
    Which one do you recommend? Thanks
