If they don't step it up in customer service and investment tools they will most likely go out of business.

I JUST got a $2500 balance with them and now I get this notice. Why not a graduated free trade thing, like 1 free trade with a balance of 2500, 2 free trades with a balance of 5000, etc. Why did they have to increase it ten-fold? I was even thinking of opening an IRA with them. Not anymore. I'm seriously going to look into SogoTrade. I am so pissed. I JUST got a $2500 balance with them and now I get this notice.
