Honestly, I haven't followed the online broker wars for a while.
Given the overall economy, I am not convinced that etrade would be a good buy. They are also lagging well behind other firms with larger volumes and numbers of accounts.
When TD and Ameritrade merged, I think they set the benchmark for level of expectations among online brokers.
I don't know how profitable the investment sector can be with a falling dollar, stagnating economy and general anxiety from large institutional investors and other countries like China.
If I had the money to toss at it and consider it a calculated gamble, I might do it. But if you're counting on that money down the road, I would hesitate.
Two cents that probably isn't worth half a cent.
