Spread trading Hi, Bruce: I use several leading online brokers. The one advantage that Ameritrade has over the others is its option-spread-order-entry system. But I can't see how the company would attract and keep many large scale investors considering the frequency of its system's breakdown. Moreover, I don't think it is fare to compare AMTD with MSFT in its early days. For the online stock trading business, there is really no barrier of new entries -- just count the number of online brokers now and the rate of growth in the past couple of years. The stock at $56 is definitely overvalued. If I were a major shareholder, I would sell my current holding and use the proceeds to fund 100 new online brokers -- and would still have plenty left over for a good life. Agree? best rgds, pcyhuang
