    • E*Trade: Hindsight with Binoculars [view article]
      Mr. Eagan,

      Once TDA loses one IRA deposit for over a month or actually puts your money in someone elses account (grouped deposit from work they were to split into multiple accounts) then you might not be so quick to judge etfc. Good luck there, lol. May your experiences there be better than mine.

    • Why the E*Trade Shorts Have It Wrong [view article]
      It's interesting that if you took last years quarterly earnings and subtracted out what etrade told us they'd be setting aside for loss provisions back in January you'd have had a better earnings estimate (lower) than the -0.10 that was being tossed around by analysts (I guess they haven't learned to subtract yet). Were it not for setting those loss provisions aside, which is not lost but rather in a different pocket, they'd have shown a profit this quarter! The reality is they could show a profit any time they choose, but they are doing the responsible thing of setting the cash aside, even though indications are showing that the worst is over and things have stabalized. Personally, let the shorts play for a bit longer, I'm buying all that I can at these prices. Apr 25 12:04 PM
