Scrumpy: You write: "Seriously, and to reiterate the obvious, trading is inherently risky, especially for those with minimal experience. Just because the past five years have been great doesn't "entitle" you to anything." NY Attorney General Eliot Spitzer addressed this question about risk: "There are always risks involved in investing in the stock market. But part of the risk should not include questions about whether trades will be executed promptly or whether online brokerage firms can deliver the services that they've promised."

Scrumpy, a law suite is a last resort to force Etrade to be fair to its customers. Customers who are not pissed off do not sue. Wouldn't the smart thing be to come to a fair agreement between customers and Etrade? I have had 4 separate trades which have gone wrong with Etrade since December. All they have to do is give me the fair price for the stock when I bought or sold. Yesterday, they lost my trade, I did not know if I still owned the stock or not, and they have a history of not letting you know a trade happened for hours. All Etrade has to do is be fair with their customers and this will all go away. If not, there will be class action suites, and I will take my ten bucks two years from now. Redbird
