I agree, Roger. I've been a customer of E*Trade's for over 3 years, and am astonished to hear the complaints that are posted on this thread--I guess that either means that I'm an "E-Groupie" or means a few others here are whiners...
At any rate, here's the most recent Bull Market Report on E*Trade...
4. E*TRADE TO ACQUIRE LARGEST INDEPENDENT ATM NETWORK
E*TRADE Group, Inc. (EGRP, $25, down 1, after trading at $28) will acquire Card Capture Services, Inc., the largest independent network of centrally-managed automated teller machines (ATMs) in the U.S. They have 8,500 machines located in 48 states and three countries, and E*TRADE will now be able to provide customers with a nationwide branded electronic physical presence to conduct an expanding array of financial transactions.
COMMENT: E*Trade now owns an online bank, its flagship online investing firm, and a network of ATM's. Wow. The E*trade vision appears to be one that involves their customers having all their money held, invested, and processed by one company: E*Trade. This is a very interesting company to have in your portfolio. If you have patience and tolerance for volatility and risk, this is a company that is positioning itself to become a financial powerhouse.
Hmmmmmmm.... Appears that the Bull Market Report is infested with "E-Groupies" also!!!!! |
