EGRP has +- $ 44 Billion in assets and +- 2 million young active customers. that doesn't make the average account size $ 2k, but more than 10 times that amount. there are people like you, with 2k accounts, people like me with 7 figures, and people in between. ETrade SPECIFICALLY wants to attract EBay customers, in the press release they state the reasons why. ok, going back with my girlfriend now, see you all tomorrow. just saw "American Beauty", nice movie. why the name change, feeling ashamed about something? ___ "Sounds like plenty of people have small $2k accounts (like me) and are strictly in it for the IPOs. Since EGRP is now giving away $140 now (price of EBAY) to attract each $2k account (thanks for the free money, by the way), costs of account acquisition will probably go up for the next quarter or two - offer good until July. Not looking good for the E-Groupie stockholders. But if E*Trade cracks down on the use of multiple account to get around the flipping rule, then they run the risk of slowing their claim to fame - account growth."
