Just one persons opinion, but as retail brokers go E-trade is near the bottom of my list right now. Unless they start offering shorting, stop losses, speed, and better phone service they are not going to get any customers from Greenline. I'm not sure if $36 million is enough capital to increase their services to the level of Greenline new service to be released next month. In addition, they have the multi-billion Scwab to deal with now. I tried out Etrade and dumped them within two months and went back to Greenline. I'm not short but just giving my opinion on the long term potential. Best Regards KEITH
