<Just got off the phone with Monique Wise at Bloomberg. She's doing a story on ETRADE and other online brokerages. Anyone wanting to comment can call her at(212) 318-2608. I gave them an C+ for yesterday and a big FFFFFFFFFFFF for todays action. Or should I say non-action.> Zebedee, I'm not willing to spend the long distance money -- since I'm cheap as well as a good investor, but I just got off the phone with Etrade and the "Your call can be as long as 20 min" was actually 55 mins.
