Hi Jim,

Does the Rydex fund that's similar to UOPIX trade through Etrade? That would be easiest.

Best regards, Tom

Hi,
Why bother to beg E-trade. I would contact ProFunds and ask them to send me an account transfer form. Just transfer the cash you want to invest over to them.

Jim; I've been looking at that but can't yet get the
results I want. I will keep trying when I find time
I jumped in B2B ( BHH ) yesterday , and sold DEC 40 CCs
on them today. Maybe to soon but got a fair price for
the calls and I'm not to greedy, if they do call em I still
make 26% off the deal in less than 2 months.

OT for Jim Chellis regarding E*Trade

Hi Jim,

If I may say so, I was with E*Trade for about 5 years. It was the worst investing experience of my life. Everyone that I have ever known (friends, associates, acquaintances) who used E*Trade, have stated similar observations. They are crooks and very unethical. Their customer service is nonexistent, rude, and obnoxious.

I switched directly to ProFunds this past summer and I've had a very good experience with them thus far. I have NEVER had a single flawed transaction or significant problem with ProFunds. When I make money on an exchange (trade), ProFunds expediently credits my account in a complete, appropriate, accurate way. I don't have to call and spend hours battling with some low level associate following each successful trade in order to have my money credited to my account.

If I ever decide to trade regular stocks and options again, instead of indexes, I would probably choose Schwab.

In summary, I greatly fear entrusting even a penny of my money to E*Trade.

I apologize if I overstated my position, I was just responding to your post.

Best Regards,
