News from the real world, but first, Spytrader, you're one smart trader! If I could buy 250,000 shares of EGRP at anything under $40 a share I would. Now the news, I own an airplane and in my business frequently fly. As a result I have needed to become instrument rated, in order to deal with variable weather and tight timelines. I've nearly completed the arduous additional training required for that rating and my CFII (instrument flight instructor) recently said to me (after seeing my E-Trade tee shirt), what do you think about e-trade, I've got a thousand dollars and have been thinking about opening an account. I advised him to play the e-trade game to familiarize himself with trading and to open an e-trade account. He asked what I thought he should buy and, of course, I don't advise people with their finances, however, I said that I would currently spend every spare cent I had on more EGRP shares. There are of couple of points I am wanting to make, 1st, E-Trade is becoming widely known in popular circles, no doubt, in part from their advertisements. Secondly, it is not only small investors with enough to open an account, however, it is certainly important that E-Trade has been open to small investors. Another friend of mine has had the extreme good fortune of inheriting over a hundred thousand shares of a very highly valued stock and over the past several years has decided to begin selling some shares to finace some building, business and other projects. He recently told me what his broker charged him to sell several hundred shares and I sent him an E-trade application. He will be opening an e-trade account as well. The point is thatr poeple are not only talking about E-Trade but also opening E-Trade accounts!
