I never thought GS would get above $80 again. Criminal really. Should be at most half that.

Arnie Alsin likes AMTD as a value He has featured it compellingly in his turnaround report. He believes it has economy of scale with Datek purchase. I wouldn't take a position either way in AMTD

ET A phone call there revealed interesting antics after receiving confirmations for trades I hadn't authorized. Seems they are going ahead and liquidating inactive accounts in order to cover their recently added "inactivity fees" They even sold holdings that were literally worth .01 cent My bet is they didn't sell, but transferred into their own account They even charged commissions.The thousands I paid in commissions a couple of years ago weren't enough I guess Just ckd another ET online account. Seems to cut costs, they log you out after about 10 minutes. "For your protection" Yeah, that feature that would entice me trade with them again!!!

AMTD remains a nice short. 4.9 x 91 Daytraders turning into armed robbers kind of shows you AMTD future. ET has gone down even further. I figured their expansion into banking may have helped somewhat cushion the blow.

Schwab Jan. Trading Falls, Feb. Weaker Thursday February 13, 9:15 am ET SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Charles Schwab Corp. (NYSE:SCH - News), a top discount brokerage, on Thursday said its January average daily trading volume fell 19 percent from a year earlier and trading levels this month have been even lower. ADVERTISEMENT Schwab said it processed an average of 126,300 revenue trades per day in January, excluding mutual fund trading, down 19 percent from January 2002 but basically unchanged from December 2002. "Client trading activity thus far in February ... has reflected heightened geopolitical concerns," co-Chief Executive David Pottruck said in a statement. "Daily average revenue trades for the first seven trading days of February totaled 103,000." Total client assets were $758.4 billion at the end of January, down 10 percent from a year earlier and down 1 percent from the end of December, as major stock indexes have fallen. The company pulled in $4.2 billion in net new money during January. Last month, the company said its fourth-quarter loss widened sharply as costs related to the layoffs were compounded by soft trading revenue. To cope with declining revenue, the company has cut costs aggressively since the beginning of 2001, slashing 35 percent of its staff. San Francisco-based Schwab cut 1,800 jobs during the fourth quarter, bringing its ranks to 16,700. Schwab shares closed at $7.85 in Wednesday trading on the New York Stock Exchange (News - Websites). biz.yahoo.com
