"We think that after-hour trading is going to be a boom for the online brokerage firms. We think E-Trade (EGRP: news, msgs) and Schwab (SCH: news, msgs) and Ameritrade (which just declared a stock split) are very well positioned. In fact, so much so that we see them taking huge market share from traditional brokerage firms." -- Thomas Byrne, president of Periscope Analytics.

After you, Gaston, (sorry...) wrote your explanation, I better understand your point.

There is no question that Schwab is a formidable competitor, as is E*Trade. E*Trade is clearly the more dynamic of the two companies (which doesn't mean that it will be more successful--sometimes dynamnism can lead to mistakes), and I'm very comfortable where I'm at. Time, as always, will tell.

Cheers...
