>>If you're having problems, use their 800 number. You can make trades that way when peak time overloads their system. <<

Hmm guess for you waiting 15-30 minutes on line before being able to place an order is no problem. But some of us would like it to be a tad faster. And this wait time was on a normal day. Since I tried this 3 times and it took over 15 min each time I would say that stastically you get to talk to someone after a 15 min wait.

>>But there are problems that just can't be fixed by E-Trade. For instance, Internet bandwidth.<<

You must own Etrash shares. Anyone whos used their system for a few months know for a fact that every single problem encountered with ETrash can easily be fixed AT ETrash.

Some of us are morons for sticking around but please dont make us look like idiots as well since we get to be that way after trying to talk to ETrash reps with problems.

The 800 number is nice" someday we will all trade this way". Lets hope not, E trade truely stinks. I have called that number and stayed on line for over 10 minutes trying to place a trade LOL !! in ten minutes you are dead in these markets. Only use it for long term trades now.

The best is when you call the 800 number and its BUSY oh i love that
