This is amusing--E*trade sent a letter saying they opened two accounts for me a few months ago without my even asking! I actually activated one because my employer says everyone's ESPP shares will go there and only there. No wonder they have so many accounts with so few assets!

I've owned SCH since '96 and have two accounts there. My first was opened in 1978.

Re Schwab's quarterly metrics.

One of the metrics in my original post was incorrect. I misread the Schwab blurb. They did not have 282,000 net new accounts, but that number of newly opened accounts. Schwab reported 6.2MM active accounts at the end of last quarter and 6.3MM this quarter, so the correct net appears to be appx 100,000.

None of the other metrics are affected by the error.

Best wishes,
Tom
