I swear! I've been saying for years ignore the analyst, people like that Bahailia who is an analyst for Citigroup. He stated Etrade would have a high of around $4.50 for the year, and that very day I think, I sold shares of Etrade for right at $5.00/sh. I've forgotten the exact amounts, but you know, I don't think it's figuring out which analyst is right, but it's figuring out which ones are honest and who is not being paid to write bad things about good companies. I may be stupid, but I'm the one whose made over 100% profit for 2008 already.
Mr. Cramer, I appreciate your articles I get, but you did confuse me with that change of pace. Of course, you might have been making a joke meaning, the market is such a mess you'd rather sell everything and go fishing. Many people who read these articles don't think with a business mind, therefore, sometimes it's hard to understand what point is trying to be made. Just out of curiosity, in very simple terms, will Ambac be a stock to buy in 2008, or not. Thank you. Gary

I have no respect for Bahalia, but I do appreciate your opinions Mr. Cramer. Bahalia was so obvious that he was trying to damage Etrade, that it really irritated me to see him hurt a lot of people like me who depend on opinions of (hopefully), honest men.]]> Wed, 20 Feb 2008 20:41:15 -0500 I can't help but laugh.

If you do, don't change Etrade to your standards, but change your standards to the Etrade platform. If you do that, you will keep many satisfied Etrade customers. Say if Ameritrade were to buy out ETrade, if you changed your Ameritrade platform to the Etrade platform, then you'd have Ameritrade stock traders who will be very happy. I looked into Ameritrade a long time ago, and I just didn't like it. I forget now what bothered me most, but after using Etrade for all these years, I'd be hard put to go to a system that was, (for the sake of a better word), cheap. For me, I'd rather see ETrade buy out Ameritrade, even though the stock value would drop, in the short run, but the Ameritrade customers would be so happy they'd never leave or search for another brokerage. I honestly can say, customers of Ameritrade could, (example), get out of their Ford Edsel, and enjoy the ride of a BMW.
Thank you folks for letting me see the other side of Etrade customers opinions. I'm really glad to see there are others who feel as I feel. I wondered if all the negative comments were coming from people who had been hurt on that bad month, and for ya'll, I'm really sorry. But you took a bad loss and it's happened to many people in the market now. It's happened before and people jumped out of windows. Instead of scratching the wound, buy some Etrade now at $2.85 or $2.90, and give it a year. If you were/are an Etrade customer then you know they are the only brokerage you want to trade with. I'm sorry you were hurt, but don't let that cause you to lose an opportunity by making another mistake. In two months you'll not see Etrade at $2. or $3. prices ever again. Thank you for this opportunity to express my thoughts about Etrade. A very satisfied past, present and future customer of Etrade. ]]> Fri, 18 Jan 2008 17:51:25 -0500 Advice for Ameritrade, or any other brokerage who might be thinking of buying out ETrade.
