  • An Ameritrade-E*Trade Merger? Not as Crazy as It Sounds [View article]
    citidel could prob. buy enough amtd and etfc to push for a merger... that'll drive the bull value past schw and never look back.

    raycharles,

    i have not read any actuall share dilution on ETFC yet, can you provide a source for that info? i don't understand how fitting Citidel's agenda would equate to a slow motion raid on ETFC. perhaps i'm too simple minded but i think Citidel would enjoy the most profit if ETFC stock price goes through the roof and it would try it's best to make sure it happens that way.

    what jacobsen said is simply not valid and i wonder what his intention is.

    ETFC started the turn around plan about a year ago and got rid of their toxic stuff very quick and only kept some with income producing potential. with the fed lowering the prime rate, it certainly helps the homeowners with heloc with the rate without hurting profit for etfc. with a recent market condition, many shorts had coverted their bet, we will not likely to see a "pop" on etfc anytime this year, but there are lots of cash sitting on the sideline just waiting for the storm to blow over. merger or not ETFC is a great brand name with very competitve products (prob. the best).... if anybody want's to invest in a brokerage company, ETFC is a better deal than AMTD or SCHW.

    true or not about the merger talk, ETFC is super discounted from the first false report on the bankruptcy and now the perfect financial storm. if the first report was near truth and the stock was able to bounce back, several months later and ETFC is in better shape than it was, there is no good reason for the price to be where it is at. once the market stabilized, i would think ETFC should be able to produce a smooth incline on the chart supported by its cash and business growth. i do agree with some people who says ETFC should be doing some stock buyback while the price is down.
