Frederick, my "feeling" about EGRP is purely subjective. The number of times they have been down compared to the competition. . . the slower earnings growth. . .the fact that they have been the leader for so long, means they are the target to beat. . .I like the Archipelago investment. . who wouldn't? . . . EGRP is at a great price for a swing trade on the OLB sector waking up. . . but this decision goes deeper too. . . while I am near-term bullish on the Online Brokerage sector. . . seeing as they have a long potential way to run from current levels. . . .I am long-term bearish. I truly believe that regional banks will all be offering discount online brokerage services soon. . . . .which reminds me. . .did anyone ever find a company that could offer such services to banks? I was looking at Cigna Insurance company last night, and sure enough. . they have their own online discount brokerage. So really, it doesn't matter what I think long-term about online brokers, because of being long-term bearish. . . nor does it matter which OLB we play on the swing. . . whichever makes us the most money is the best. Thanks for keeping me in check, Fred. Rande Is
