Gottfried, re: TA program called 'Second Opinion'...

No, this hasn't been posted here before, and no, I didn't know about the program until you mentioned it. But thanks for the tip!

I'm a big believer in "second opinions" for certain things, and calling the program/section "Second Opinion" is, IMHO, a really neat marketing approach. At least it worked on me.

As an E*trade user, I subscribed this morning at a discount. I'll try it out for a month and see how it goes. Looks like a program with the potential to somewhat level the playing field for us "little guys".

One slight correction to your post - it looks like this is not an E*trade program, but one by Computrade Systems. Apparently, E*trade only made the referral, and had arrangements with Computrade Systems to provide a discount to E*trade users.

BTW, AAPL was already on my radar screen as a potential buy. Your link reinforced what I suspected. Their "second opinion" on ATIS looks good to me too, especially since I entered a long position near the close yesterday. I suppose a "morning after" second opinion is better than none. :-)
