    Some say Etrade could go bankrupt they were hit hard by the sub prime mortgage cris. their stock price went from a 52 week high of 25 to around 2. they have rebounded since back to around 5 but not out of the water.

    And etrade only charges $7 a trade for unlimted shares

    etrade is horrible. customer service is hella slow.

    i have accounts in both etrade, td ameritrade, and scottrade. scottrade is the cheapest and their cs is pretty good. the only bad part about scottrade is that i don't have *************** set up there, so i have to mail them checks.

    tdameritrade is nice too, a little bit more expensive, but i can do spread options there and their option trading platform is better than scottrade.

    etrade...only advantage i can think of right now is that you can trade on 6 markets with different curriencies, but you have to convert them back to USD before you withdraw. why would you want to buy stocks in hong kong anyways.

    i have one. I also have Zecco.

    I'm not overly impressed with either but zecco has 10 free trades a month.

    TDAmeritrade is worth the extra price. Etrade is for the pigeons imo. GL...

    I have used E-Trade for 10 years, and IMO they are decent as far as online brokers go. Customer service isnt what it was 5 years ago. They always have really good rates @ E-Trade bank on CDs, IMO ET isnt going bankrupt, like some would like you to believe.

    later
