Learning how to invest

Fairly easy to use so far but I haven't taken the time to learn everything because it is confusing to navigate through everything. For me, something like a university training program would be great. Where there is a list of the different courses according to my desired level of education. I could see an outline of each course and then have some kind of comprehension test before I can advance to the next level. I would like to be more confident on how to invest.

Thanks for your feedback. We don't have online tutorials with tests, but local branchs often conduct in-branch seminars about a particular topic. You can find a workshop in your area at https://events.schwab.com/workshops/live

IRA accounts are like a garden -- with time and attention to detail -- and mindful of problems that can crop up -- investments and flowers will grow.

Managing your Schwab IRA couldn't be easier but you have to do your homework. Schwab provides a lot of useful tools but you have to make the decisions where to invest and what to sell at the right time.

I just have to say I'm really happy with Schwab. They have a great website that make it easy to find the best, low-cost mutual funds as well as trade stocks. I am able to do most tasks on my own but there are also Schwab Financial reps there a phone call away for any help needed.

Since retiring I rolled over most of my account into a Schwab IRA account. Except for interest paid on I have been completely satisfied with your service. I do almost everything on line but some times I have a question and have been completely satisfied with your service.
This yr was my first RMD yr and I transfered some stock from my IRA account to my regular account. Filled out the form and in doing so discovered that I didn't have to sell the stock and you figured out how many shares to transfer and did it in a couple of days of receiving the form that you sent me, thanks. My accounts aren't big but you have treated them well.

I have had an IRA account at Schwab for a very long time and have always been pleased with the service and the pricing. I recently converted my IRA to a Roth IRA, and did that online without any trouble.

My IRA accounts have been with Schwab for many years . I do almost all my own trading and research but when I have had a question I have not hesitated to ask my rep. for advice. I have never had a problem with my accounts and my monthly withdrawals have never been late.. It is very easy to set up preferences for my accounts.
