Let's go easy on the kid. First of all, I don't think ETrade is so easy. I actually find ameritrade to be easier. ETrade is also not very clear at all about account balances and buying power. I happen to think they suck. I would switch right away but lets face it, it takes a week to open an account elsewhere. By then all my stocks may have made their move. Matt is a 16 year old kid playing with his fathers custodial account. That tells me that daddy threw a few thousand dollars into an account for Matt to play with after school. My father did the same for my younger brothers. Matt takes it very seriously and probably has a lot to offer us. I am sure he knows more about computers than I do. Matt, my advice to you is to continue posting but don't get too cocky. It will annoy others. You are still a child in the eyes of most. Waiting until your order is filled to come out with information is ridiculous. Whatever info you have is not going to effect the price on the few hundred shares you are going to buy. No offense.

THE INFAMOUS SECRET INFO Ok Steve and others here is what you people are driving me nutz for-- All you do is type in perfumania.com Now, you can't do it right now because it asks for a password, but earlier (yesterday) it took you to the secure server for online ordering. Now for you non-internet people, online ordering is what you put in your CC# in at and all that and basically, all the shopping stuff.(I found this out about 2 weeks ago). This signifies they are ready to start taking orders and launch the site. They are currently running tests on it as it appears to me. The key is the "s" in the https: If you analyze the certificate, it shows the secure server being launched no 1/20/99, 5 days ago. This leads me to belvie that this is the real deal and they are ready for a literal "takeoff" in internet site and price-wise. There now you guys know! Please get off my back! wheww OT-Oh yea, about those Positive EGRP comments. They were from a "stock holders view." Look at AOL once again. People got rich from people hating them. THe stock dipped big time, people loaded up because they knew what expansion does for you and now they are sitting pretty high. In reference to #4--I am not inexperienced, I was talking about investors. I took that comment from my observation of my family. They all picked ETRADE and knew not very much about stocks or online trading, but with ETRADES anaylysis and research, they have been able to make good money. Hope that clarifies it. I have personally liked ETRADE except for when I get riled up over their Customer Service side. Yea right, that is an oxymoron for them.-OT I hope this clarifies it up that I am not a hypster and not just trying to raise the price!! Hope you all enjoy the secret info!! Told ya'll it wasn't anything big! man! Matt P.S. Please if you want to attack me (I have gotten used to this), please steer it towards the PM route. I don't want to clog up the thread with a bunch of negative comments.
