E*TRADE Financial: It Was Good to Be Long

where do you think you can get great customer service? what about the tools? i would seriouly leverage on the attention they're giving you and tell them what's wrong and make them kiss your behind for awhile. i'm comfortable at etfc and have no major complains, it's not worth the time to get used to other platforms that doesn't do better if not worst for the same customer service. as far as i know, unless you are paying for attention, you're not likely to get more. good luck and if you find a good place to trade, spread the word and perhaps we'll all benefit from some improvment with the few companies that do care to improve their customer service system.

cramer was right about etfc but time has changed a bit since. the financial stocks are just not worth the risk and the latest news on the street is the perfect proof that it was bad time to invest in financials a few months back. etfc had a head start on getting their act together and executed their turnaround plan before the )%&# hit the fan last week and is in better standing then those big banks in wall street today. i'm out of cash but am very happy that i had enough to buy in @ 2.5 just a few days ago... i seriously doubt it would touch that price mark within the next 10 years unless the entire market collapses. with some restriction going in for shorts and the bailout plan in sight, etfc would be a wonderful buy below 4 just because some of the shorts need to take cover.
i don't think etfc will be merged, i would rather see it grow and surpass the old chuck. etfc was always better then schwab and should pass schwab like bby left circuit city behind while the analyst predicted otherwise. etfc has the innovation and the management to make it worthwhile for the longs.
