Will TD Ameritrade or Charles Schwab Buy Up E*Trade?

LOL Trading rules-it seems you are referring to me here. I understand the rules well, I am a Wharton Alumni 03, double major and top of my class (you can Google me) and a registered day trader. I could pass a 6, 7, 63 test in my sleep but I own a tech company. E-Trade's service is horrible and if you have a margin account and are in good standing with no overnight hold, and them go 4X margin during the day, it should NOT be sold on you during the same day providing you sell to 2X or less margin before the end of the day. E-Trade's service is simply horrible, with many reps lacking basic knowledge but if I cannot trust my own broker, it is time to move on. Schwab has been a terrific company, I deal with the same guy there in Active Trader department and I cannot say enough good about the company and I have never purchased their stock just telling it like it is. E-Trade, or Ethiopian Trade as I call it is a joke company that caters to small investors, most of which have low standards or they simply leave as many on this thread have done. My time is money and I will GLADLY pay $2 a trade more for good service, and clearly I have shown that I will do so when I have, with no regrets, moved to Schwab.
