You may not be authorized to access the ETRADE customer Web server at this time. Possible reasons for this message are: You are not an ETRADE customer. See Open an Account for information on becoming an ETRADE customer. Your User Name or Password was entered incorrectly. ETRADE is conducting routine maintenance. If you have any questions about your ETRADE account, please contact customer service. They need to add one more reason: We are technologically inferior and have no concept of fault tolerance. We are unable to keep up with demands placed on our systems and we don't want to advertise this.* There is no reason for this kind of continued downtime after the problems are known for months. Well, there actually is a reason: incompetence. Enough is enough.
