OT EGRP is a great stock....but does anyone follow IFSX? $15 to $20 in the last 3 days.....parent co of AB Whatley...could be a competitor. Why not own both? massively long IFSX and somewhat long EGRP, FtrPlt

in my case, i already spent like $ 30,000 on comissions since i opened my account at ETrade a couple of years back (of course i made a lot with my trading activity to justify what i spent in commissions). amazing, isn't it? just imagine if ETrade manages to convert all its customers to the daytrading addiction! because online stock trading is highly ADDICTIVE, this company will be larger than America Online with its flat rate monthly fee guys, bet the farm, forget day-to-day volatility, and check back your portfolios in 2001. buy and hold EGRP forever. and it will be even more fun once we have 24 hs stock trading all over the major world markets, and forex trading too. it will be so FUN, and the possibilities of getting rich so endless, that we will hardly sleep.

Re: "40% of all E*Trade orders are made when the market is closed" - That's probably because E trade is down about 40% of the time when the market is open<g>. jim

I can't think of a better stock to buy and hold than EGRP. I agree with Spytrader regarding the potential of this stock. I have already reaped huge benefits and will continue to add to my EGRP position whenever I can. Two splits already this year and who knows how many in the not so distance future. Regarding the technical glitches that effect all of the online brokers, I have never had a serious difficulty with EGRP. When I have had slowness logging on on busy days I simply used the stop function on my browser and then re-started the logging command and gotten right on. At any rate, the technical growth issues are minor and not a long term concern.
