well, I can say this much.....E-Trade has come a long way in the last 6 months. Very reminiscent of aol awhile back. 6 months ago, I had alot of problems with e-trades site, and of course trying to get hold of somebody via e-mail or on the telephine was futile. I now, have very few problems with the site, and every time I have called in the last month, I have gotten a live person within 1 or 2 minutes. I think e-trade is going to be the big winner in the olt wars....jmhooc

I have accounts with both Schwab and Etrade. I prefer Etrade. Equal or better service and lower rates. Fred

Hi John, I have accounts at both Schwab and ETrade. I did what you are thinking of doing and I am very satisfied. I do my active trading in ETrade and keep my long-term holds in Schwab. I think it is good to maintain both accounts. I am very satisfied with ETrade. I think they are slowly getting over their growing pains. What is happening with ETrade is very similar to what AOL went through a few years ago. I think the Etrade's stock is following a similar pattern. If my memory is correct, AOL was around $26 share, having been beaten down in price, before taking off for good with many splits. IMO ETrade is poised to take off from here.
