That's interesting that TD Ameritrade won't let you sign up. How come? I know that is what doc uses and he is in Germany, weird...

and ouch at $29 per trade !

My TDAmeritrade account is very old, 1998 or 1999, I used first Datek, was also bought by Ameritrade, but, now they do not accept people from Germany and many other european countries, that is because of a law that was approved after the September 11, something related with terrorism.
