Heh.  I was thinking of switching to Schwab, as I was with Scottrade until they sold out to Ameritrade.  Now Ameritrade is closing most of the Scottrade retail offices which is why I liked Scottrade to begin with.

If I do the spending a lot/most of my time outside the country, again, Schwab is the way to go.

Agreed.  Schwab has been a good one stop shop, and size does matter, more negotiating power gets more low/zero fee options to choose from and their database for researching I have always liked.
