It isn't clear that Etrade Securities Co.(Japan), a partially owned subsidiary of SOFTBANK, would be a good investment. I deal with Ameritrade, a typical discount broker. Their service is good and an order at the market costs just $8. From the consumer's point of view it's great. But I think Ameritrade is still losing money. There's plenty of competition. From the investor's point of view, probably only Schwab is profitable, and they are only a semi-discount broker. One can easily imagine that the subsidiary would be useful to Softbank with all those EPOs to do in the next few years, but it might not directly return much cash.
