E*TRADE condones this behavior by the people who pay E*T to send them their order flow. If you complain, you will get told that a 'trade enquiry' will be instigated. This means that 1.) there is a 1% chance E*T will get back to you and refuse to rectify the situation or 2.) most likely you will never hear back from E*T, even if you complain about not hearing back from them.

I know from experience. I won't go into all the ridiculous b*llsh*t I've heard from the Customer Service people over the phone as well.

Can hardly get pages to load in on the site. If they do come, it takes about 2 minutes. I've tried 4 different ISPs and it's always the same.

Nice if you wish to change or cancel an order!

Same crap website as always, I see.

Etrade really stands for evil trade. Over on the VSTI thread at raging bull someone posted a clip from an article that shows that Knight Securities was a major holding of etrade. Seems like a conflict of interest to me. I can find the link if necessary.

BTW, I recently dumped my etrade account. Would you believe that they actually called me back wanting to know why. I didn't have enough time to explain everything.
