They report earnings on July 23. The year 2000 consensus earnings are 3.75 which makes SWS selling for only 18 times next years earnings.I belive they also pay a 7% stock dividend. Can anyone confirm the dividend?
That is a low multiple when you look at some of the other E trade high flyers. I guess MBD is their E trade bus. that you refer to. I too have had bad experiences with E trade cos. but it had been in bus. for 4 years on E trade and is BIG and well recognized.They all have growing pains. But at $7 to $15 a trade ??? You know the saying.

John, sorry to hear about your problems with MDB.
Your comments reflect the state of a lot of online
brokerages. (I have 3 accounts, had problems with
them at one time or another...)

Agreed on SWS as a stock, but we should not love
a stock, don't we :-) I only have SWS in my IRA
account now. Did not pick up any this time because
I went for NDB last week when it gapped up.
(Got NDB first then SWS during last run!! Both
were very good. Possible reverse order for me
this time?? feeling a bit unsure though. They
have been too much too fast so far.)
