Ms. Colleen Moorehead reports
E-TRADE Canada has reached an innovative agreement that allows investors to
trade stocks and mutual funds using the E-TRADE Canada service, directly
from the i/money Web site. E-TRADE Canada is a leading on-line investing
service for independent Canadian investors, and i/money is a one-stop,
interactive financial services Web site.
With i/money's popular i|manage feature, registered users who have accounts
with E-TRADE Canada will be able to move seamlessly from receiving an
alert, reviewing their portfolio, and making stock or mutual fund
decisions, to placing an order with E-TRADE Canada. Investors can indicate
they want to enter a buy or sell order from many locations on the i/money
Web site. A trading page will then be dynamically drawn by i/money and pass
trading details to E-TRADE Canada, which will then build a confirmation
page and complete the transaction.
"Our alliance will empower i|money and E-TRADE Canada customers to act on
their investment decisions immediately," said Colleen Moorehead, president
of E-TRADE Canada. "Together, we're bringing consumers the best investment
tools -- everything they need to take control of their financial future.
The Internet is continuing to revolutionize the way consumers are taking
back control of their lives, and we are proud to be a Canadian leader in
that revolution."
"E-TRADE Canada is a wonderful complement to the services we offer on the
i/money site," said i/money's president, Henry Wolfond. "Our alliance makes
it easy and convenient for i/money customers to quickly trade on the
information and ideas they find on our Web site."
