Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
While I too would like to the the OEF TFs reduced, Fidelity already makes it possible to increase positions in TF funds for $5, and to sell positions at no cost.
That likely makes it the least expensive brokerage for OEF round trips. (I am disregarding WellsTrade here, as (a) it is Wells Fargo, and (b) its no fee schedule is not available for new accounts.)
I may have been mistaken about mortgages and helocs counting. It may be more having IRAs with ML, to reach Preferred Rewards Platinum blah blah; see: https://www.merrilledge.com/pricing [click Learn how to qualify ...]

In addition, Fidelity did lower its fee by 1/3 about four years ago, a price drop that Schwab declined to match.
