This is an april news release... I hope PRWT can achieve the same results.. E*TRADE added 80,000 net new accounts during the quarter and surpassed the 400,000 account mark, up 178 percent from 145,000 at the end of March 1997 and up 24 percent from 325,000 accounts at the end of the first fiscal quarter of 1998. Assets held in customer accounts now exceed $10 billion, up 146 percent from $4.1 billion a year ago and up 29 percent from $7.8 billion in December 1997.

I think a lot of people doing this type of thing are still going to be using 56K or T1 lines to thier brokers. Would be nice to find out if IT plans on offering this type of -professional- service. Many traders I know say a 56K modem can cost thousands over a T1. Who knows... but I think this type of trading will find lots of accounts that only last a month, after they find that the 'advantage' doesn't 'REALLY' fit with thier investment style, after all! As for your 81Mil vs. 1.5 Mil, let's consider who is talking Gross, and who is talking NET first.
