    WHOLESALECD:
    you're another poster who does not know the difference between "mortgagor" and "mortgagee". Look it up; educate yourself. BTW I'm way long ETFC; have been since 12/07

    USER378476:
    Learn the difference between the words; "mortgagor" and "mortgagee". When you've mastered that distinction read my post again; then, read JBMARIA's post to find the "truth". ETFC owes just like a subprime mortgagor, just like I said.

    Thanks JB; I can always count on you for the true facts.

    ETFC still is itself a subprime mortgagor. Those 12.5% springing lien notes they owe to Citadel from the November '07 rescue must be killing them. Anyone remember face amount of those Citadel notes? I recall over $1B, yes $B.

  • E-Trade Financial Carries High Risk-Reward [View article]
    The "call report" filed by ETFC for Q2 lists $684,458MM in non-accruals. In the Q1 CC Don Layton talks about provisioning for expected losses of from $1B to $1.5B over 3 years. At the current non-accrual rate looks like ETFC will have lost their 3 year estimate of losses in just one (1) year. You won't see $6, $10 PPS or anything close unless these non-accruals drop dramatically. You've got to keep in mind ETFC is more bank than brokerage.

    If the emotion E*Trade evokes could be capitalized on ETFC's balance sheet as an intangible the PPS would rival Goog.
