Rande Is:
this is a recent post that matt wrote about e trade. Something is a little strange. Why be so positive about a company, and then come here and claim that he can't tell us all this great stuff because this "great" company screwed up his order? His point #4 below beckons the question, are you an inexperienced investor, Matt? By the way, what is an unexperienced investor?
I agree with those on the tread that the momentum is in the right direction, and whatever "secret info" matt knows is irrelevant as it concerns the future success of prfm as we approach the web launch.

Some Positive E*Trade Comments!!!

E*Trade is going through the same crap as AOL did back when they were having
explosive growth. AOL kept advertising, except for a breif time, even thought they
couldn't handle it. E*trade is a master marketer. I have a feeling that being as bright as
Costakos (sp?) is that he is definitly in the process of expanding. Your revenues can't
60%+ and not need to increase. He knows this.

E*Trade will contine to thrive. why?
1)Master Marketers/Advertising--They're everywhere.
2)Obvioulsy low prices
3)E*Trade is the AOL of online trading--its very easy
4)Unexperienced investors always turn to E*Trade because it is a household name
5)many more reasons--don't want to bore the naysayers though!

Just go and compare the website of E*Trade to other online brokers. They don't even
compare. Especially with all of the pluses you get. Plus, remember E*Trade will be
participating in a lot of IPOs this year. Definite plus for members and a good reason for
more people to sign up.

Just my .02,

Matt
