      E-Trade Financial Carries High Risk-Reward
      I've been following Etrade since january, since its bottom. I am bullish on its turnaround plan, and I've been enthusiastic toward every Seeking Alpha article that comes out in support of ETFC. Im sure I wept alongside those authors during the June swoon.
      That said, I watched (from the long side) the June- Mid July slide when i was reminded, or really taught, that this name trades just like financial stocks, and was hit just as hard as C, BAC, MER, etc.
      SCHW and AMTD didnt take the plunge that ETFC experienced during that time, so I think its wise to keep that in mind - that its not just an online broker, even if they have sold their mortgage business.
      The turnaround plan seems to be going well from what I've read, and long term, itd be great to see $5 again, let alone 10. However, I'm waiting for the CEO to come out and raise more money to deal with that debt, which will probably dilute the shareholders, so they can reach that $700m mark (is that right? somebody correct me if not).

      E*Trade: Hindsight with Binoculars
      Wez - I experienced a problem with trading in my E-Trade IRA account as well. It would not let me purchase OTC stocks such as Etrade until my money had been in the account for 7 days. But I was able to buy stocks on the NYSE fine and immediately.
      I had NO TROUBLE opening the e-trade IRA (took 10 minutes). and the customer service in my opinion has been outstanding every time i have called in whether it was for information about their accounts or info on how to use their platform. Everyone was helpful and clear.
      The only problem I had was that when I first opened a Savings account with Etrade last October, it took them a couple weeks to mail out the info to me. Other than that, everything has been great.
      Additionally, as a satisfied customer, I have bought and sold their stock a few times within its price range over the last couple months for nice gains.

      true. I have read over the years that AMTD and ETFC have had talks, and while it seems ETrade is structuring itself to bounce back from this past years devastation, it is at least comforting (from an ETFC shareholder's perspective) to know AMTD continues to think about a merge.

      what i like: on Fast Money last thursday, the CEO of TD Ameritrade intimated an offer to buy ETrade isnt out of the question.
