I think book value is only one aspect of valuing these asset managers and brokers.

As of Sept qtr. Ameritrade had a negative tangible book value of = Net Tangible Assets ($1,058,383)

As of Sept quarter = E trade Financial had tangible assets of
Net Tangible Assets $1,467,916 or about $1.50 per share.

As of the Sept. Qtr. SCHW had tangible net assets of
Net Tangible Assets $3,689,000

I fail to see the correlation between book value and stock price since SCHW has the lowest stock price of the group with the most tangible book value.

<<<Yes SCHW has lot's of liabilities. All financial companies do. Tangible book per share (about 3$) is the important number, not net cash (Cash-liabilities) and this number is much lower.>>>

Thanks, sorry, I came across as a bit naive. I reviewed their 10q
after I made my post.
