All, Stop it with the BOZO comments. Rather than constantly coddling and pleasing Wall Street with outrageous promises and lies like Lucent's ex-CEO McGinn, Cotsakos has been focusing on managing Etrade and executing its strategy. Revenues are growing and diversifying. The brand name is phenomenal. To me, the current sentiment on EGRP is deja vu again. It feels like AOL back in 1994-5 when everybody was calling it a Ponzi scheme. It has since split 5 times. The Internet is here to stay, and ETrade will continue to gain tremendously. Like our hapless VP keeps telling us, please be patient. The downward slide is ephemeral, and EGRP will rebound to the teens again. Long as always, Phil

You are on the right tract. Townsend Analytics (REalTick) and Tradescape would probably resist a buy-out and ask a high price. I think they will eventually be squeezed out by companies like Watley and Cybercorp (Schwab) who develop their own level II trading platforms and get around the traditionally high licensing and historical quote database access charges. What is now negative but could turn positive for ABWG; that it trades thinly. With little awareness for the stock it has traded wildly. However, if we enter back into a favorable market climate, (Greenspan's remarks today make that likely), this low float stock could move up significantly.
