The past quarter has been extremely interesting for E*Trade Financial Corporation’s (NASDAQ:ETFC) investors, board members and management. In an industry plagued with bad news and an asset portfolio heavy in mortgages, it has investors shaking in their boots. But as others are fearful, now is the time to get greedy.
