Today was a pretty pivotal day in the market, and thanks to TD Ameritrade, I could not take advantage.
For some reason last night the money market balance got somehow "unhooked" from the rest of the account; so this morning not only did the total account value look much lower than the night before, but there was a bright red notice above it citing a cash debit call (or some other pathetic jargon to that effect) saying that I needed to supply more cash to support my present positions!! Which is complete crap because we do not trade on margin anyway.
But the net result is on the day when I wanted to do lots of buying, I couldn't do a thing. I tried entering a order or two, and the computer spit out "you do not have enough available cash for your order"....AAAARRRGGHHH!!!!!!!!
Today was important I think because it opened lower and rallied big, which confirms to me we are entering the next up leg of this rally.
Not that I could do anything about it...
I would have beefed up my QLD, MVV, and the like
But I couldn't because TDAMERITRADE SUCKS...
Next time I open a brokerage account I promise you it will not be TDAmeritrade; the web site regularly screws up and customer service is abysmal.
