i received this: "...As for account growth, last quarter we added 332,000 accounts, 43% more than we added in the previous quarter. This was also a record for account growth in the industry. We recognized $151.7 million in revenue, an increase of 128 percent from $66.5 million in the same period a year earlier and up 20 percent from $126.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1999. In the current quarter we made a significant announcement about our newly expanded Power ETRADE service offering commissions as low as $4.95 for active online investors and providing greater value and choice through a broader array of product features. Coupled with our earlier announcement that ETRADE now offers after hours trading to all of its customers, the expanded Power ETRADE initiative is a dramatic step toward delivering "24x7x366" access to customized services, education and transactional capabilities to help customers achieve their personal financial goals. As for recognition of ETRADE's leadership and innovation in online investing, E*TRADE is rated "Number 1 Online Investing Service" by both Lafferty Information & Research (October 1998 and June, 1999) and by Gomez Advisor (August & November of 1998 and June, 1999)."
