support to local investors
SMYRNA, Ga.--(Business Wire)--
Scottrade, a leading branch-supported online investment firm, is opening a new
branch office in Smyrna, Ga., on Monday, July 13 at 4500 West Village Place. The
new office will be managed by Adil Ali, a Georgia State University Alumni who
most recently served Scottrade customers out of the Duluth office.

"Just off of Highway 285 in The Highlands of West Village Shopping Center, the
new Scottrade office will provide investors in the Smyrna area with a local
resource to make their own investment decisions," said Ali. "Investors can stop
by the northern Atlanta office to open an account and learn more about online
trading."

Scottrade is an online investment firm that provides the tools and research
necessary for individuals to make their own investment decisions. The firm does
not provide investment advice, but stock brokers are available at branch offices
to answer account-related questions, provide customer service and give tutorials
on Scottrade`s online trading services.

"For nearly 30 years, we have focused on serving our customers through
exceptional customer service," said Rodger Riney, Scottrade founder and CEO.
"While most of our customers trade online, we feel it is important to have
branch offices where our customers live and work. Our branch network of more
than 400 local offices allows us to provide a better customer experience for
self-directed investors."

The Smyrna branch office is Scottrade`s 11th branch office in Georgia. Other
