<<Yes, and I wonder why EGRP is down. After all, as Kathy Levinson says, you can still play stock games, research your mutual funds, watch your stocks tank with real-time quotes, etc. >> The account information is probably accessed using the software that E*Trade says isn't working. In other words, you can do anything you want except access your account. Since you can't access your account, you also can't trade (at least through the website). The other services don't access your account, other than check to see if your login is valid.

I am a reporter for Dow Jones News Wires. I am looking into the recent problems with online brokers and how investors are responding. I need to interview people who have closed their accounts with their online broker, as a result of recent problems, and either switched to another online broker or turned to the services of a full-service broker. Please contact me ASAP at 201-938-5670 or Johanna.Bennett@cor.dowjones.com. With regards, Johanna Bennett Dow Jones News Wires
