"Financial Storytelling with TD Ameritrade: Steve" This commercial shows a man attached to a set of wires. The wires allow the scenery to change behind the man while he hangs in place. The ad begins with this man climbing Mount Everest. As soon as he makes it to the top, his clothes, and the mountains are pulled back showing him SCUBA diving with sharks (the wires holding him make it look like he's swimming). A shark comes up and pulls away his SCUBA suit and now he's skydiving. He goes to pull his parachute, and it doesn't open, so men representing TD Ameritrade come out and catch him with a big net. Then people come out and spray him with champagne. This is Steve. He loves risk. But whether he's climbing Everest, SCUBA diving the Great Barrier Reef with sharks, or jumping into the market, he goes with people he trusts. Which is why he trades with a company that doesn't nickel and dime him with hidden fees. So he can worry about other things like what the market is doing and being ready no matter what happens. Which isn't rocket science - it's just common sense from TD Ameritrade Everest Summit No Platform Fees No Data Fees TD Ameritrade Open and account and get up to $600 877-TDAmeritrade TDAmeritrade.com/value
