Well I guess because E-Trade Australia is the first major online discount broker in Australia and New Zealand. Also in both countries a lot more will happen as far as online trading and investing on the retail level is concerned. A situation Germany was in two years ago and things have changed dramatically here. On the North American continent there are already too many well established competitors and a near perfect financial system. In other words Canada is too near to the US. That is why E-Trade Australia will go through the roof. I expect it to at least quadruple by the summer. In Germany it shoot up another 34% only yesterday (April 1st).

OT- because ETrade Canada SUCKS!! I know - I have an account with these morons. It is the worst trading web site I've used. There is a lot of competition in Canada from the Banks especially Toronto-Dominion (TD) with GreenLine - which I should have gone with. I got an ETrade account based on my experience with their US site, except for the home page the Canadian site bears little resemblance. I was surprised that Etrade lets their name be used on sites as bad as this one and it makes me question their mgmt. Claude (rhymes with TOAD)
