TD ran a large ad in the Report on Business yesterday. It shouted:

Get up to 300 free “I’m feeling more confident” trades.

Are you kidding me? 300 trades. I’m not sure I’ve done 300 trades in 31 years in the business.

Is this a reflection of where we are in the cycle (I’m feeling more confident) or is TD encouraging its clients to do some high frequency trading of their own.

300 trades. Really?
