Larry, I am also a frustrated etrade customer. So I opened up a fidelity and a schwab account. Guess what - they are no better. Schwab is expensive and their executions are horrible. fidelity does not know how to deal with my type of trading - i.e. many trades a day. They are constantly telling me I have no buying power - several times when I was totally out of the market. You call them and they tell you that your trades have to settle. I am taking it all back to etrade.

Larry--I'm a little mystified by your problems (but then I have a blind-love for this company...). If you're having problems with ETrade, then you might want to do what Stan says he's done, and that's set up a second account with another online broker. ETrade is growing by leaps and bounds (as has EGRP, much to my pleasure), and there's no question that they've had some occasional problems. However, it's fair to point out that virtually all the other online brokers have also had difficulties, and I still find the fact that Gomez rates ETrade's service number one in their field to be significant, notwithstanding our friend Stan's mysterious silence on this issue. Actually, I fear the worst. By now, I'm very afraid that ETrade's evil secret agents, the same ones who have blackmailed Gomez into "shilling" for the company, have used covert devices to uncover Stan's location. They have undoubtedly flown into his city, murdered him for his betrayal, and flown back to Palo Alto. Stan, we hardly knew ye. RIP...

Larry, all these guys know it also they just are too emotionally brain tied to admit it. They can see what I said was true without my giving them a name that wouldn't comprise his position to speak to a nobody from a chat board that hasn't proven that they are trustworthy anyway. So I'll allow them to live in their delusions as long as possible and take their shots at me, all the while knowing that their investment was well over 100 a share before the split and here we sit at less than 80 (split adjusted) as I type. They can think it was for whatever reason they want to, but to most its obvious, most except ETrade and its groupies that is. Happy Trading Stan
