I guess you can look at this either way. Positively, in that they've got alot of subscribers, sort of like early days of AOL, than they could handle; Negatively, customers can go to extremes and advise others not to subscribe. Unlike AOL, where there's little or no comparable competitions at the time, ETRADE got plenty.

I've got both E*Trade and Lombard, and recent experiences with E*Trade prompted me gradually move money out of it (one day my market order won't go through, and I called Trader service, waited half an hour on two lines -- I got two lines in my office -- ended up giving up on them.)

"You get what you paid for". Exactly.

P.S. I think EGRP is running out of gas, and it's time to get some short term puts to protect or profit from (I see next stop by mid-Feb to be at least 65). Greenspan is going to scare some people out of Internet stocks short term, I think.

this morning the RightLine Split Report said they'd received a lot
of complaints about traders not being able to trade over the past
couple of days.
more complaints came about E*Trade than any other broker.

having customers beat down your door for your service can't be all bad.

could you agree ? <g>
