After losing a ton of money with an options trader i decided to call it quits and transfer my…read moremoney to a td ameritrade account, I had talked to Mike Morgolis in the oak brook ameritrade office to help in the transfer of the account. Being that it was my wifes roth account we needed to open a new account, for her, The firm i transferred from had 1 open options contract, So Mike had me fill out the paper work for options trading approval. Ok so now the cash and the open option get transferred and everything seems good, Since i have no knowledge of how to trade an option i had called Mike to explain how to do it. That went well and seemed simple enough, So now i am waiting for the stock price to climb so i can at least break even. I log onto my wifes account to see that my open option was sold at a loss. WTF . I called to find out what happen and to find out that i was not approved for long options trading so they sold it with no warning to me what so ever, They never contacted me or warned me ,no email no nothing ,just sold it for a loss. There response was a basic to bad, I was in the process of opening 2 25k investment accounts till this happened, Now i have lost any trust i had with them and will be transferring my accounts to another firm. If they can do this with no remorse,what else can they do. I have had an account with them for years for just small trading and never had a problem. But this changed everything. So be aware you really have no control of your money with them,

Capstone came highly recommended and since they do several of my colleagues and are familiar with my company's incentive plans, etc, after a quick interview to see if we were going to get along, I contracted with them.

They are timely in their communication, follow stocks, make recommendations and just basically help me to make the right decisions regarding my finances. Their fees are based on what you need them to do and are varied.
