FOR REAL!!! THAT SUCKS!! What did they say?? are they going to send you the money that was in there?? what about stock that you own??

how many accounts are you allowed to have?? are they closing all your accounts? guess Hispeed was right!! This bites! Why don't they make an announcement and do it all at once rather than blindsiding everyone!

did you tell them that NOWHERE on their website does it say there is a LIMIT to how many accounts you can open?? Etrade encouraged my family to open up several accounts under one SS# and said that each one could participate in IPOs... now that we've done that they want to punish us for it????

I applaud etrade for this move. As an etrade stockholder, I'm extremely pleased. It also makes the playing field much better for those of us who don't have all day and night to manage 10-20 accounts.
Good move etrade!
