Online Brokerage recommendations?

TDAmeritrade has been bought by... I don't even remember now.

I am worried that the online system I really like will be trashed by the merger.

Which brokerages/systems do you like/dislike and or favor/disfavor for any reasons including politics?

I inquired when Schwab would take over and it isn't until Q2 2023.

service for any reason. If you do it will be the start of a long twisted nightmare of misinformation and misdirection.

No complaints. Simple platform to use with some decent features and tools.

It was recently acquired by Morgan Stanley, but there were no changes that I saw.

And can't recommend them highly enough. I got a 401k through work ages ago. I've had several Mutual Funds and have done spectacularly well. Just yesterday I had to deal with them over the phone to transition some old account. They couldn't have been more helpful.
