sounds good to me
Working at Etrade would be fun imo.
something HUGE is going on with ETFC!!!!!!!!
Just look at the recent insider trades:
Citadel just increased it's position in ETFC from owning 79,867,087 common shares to 88,812,336 common shares.
Not only that...Citadel just closed its put option position (6 contracts or 600 shares) with an excercise price of $20!!!
But that's not all...Check out the volume/price from 12:30pm to 1:15pm EDT from today (10/16/2008) the ASK price got pounded between 2.14 - 2.17!

What the hell was going on with ETFC today around 12:00pm EDT??? up down up down...somethings going on...or somebody knows something.
It looks like somebody was buying up a ton of shares..between 12:30 and about 1:00pm

Layton won't let this one tank...
Look at it this way:
1) New Etrade baby commercial...etrade right on teh blackberry
2) max rate savings accounts...cant really get their rates anywhere else, including BAC. I know...I've looked.
My point is, why would they be working on great stuff like this if the company was about to tank or be sold off to someone else. Turn around phases take some time, but I think we'll see ETrade come back the minute the market turns around.
under $2, Etrade is a really good deal, because I suspect the current bv/share is $6.21 since they sold non-core assets and gained $700mil cash. BUT I still think earnings will be -0.18 or better regarding the conference call on the 21st.
maybe tonight he'll have fresh tennis balls on the bottom of his walker??
I agree.
The way they have been calculating book val/sh is:
(51,810 - 49,173)/537 = $4.91
Compare with book value shown here: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=etfc
If you consider the recent sale of non-core assets, the book val/sh becomes:
(52,510-49,173)/537 = $6.21
I expect earnings to be -0.18 or better. Any thoughts?
nice one...I always prefer nigerian but what you said works too lol
Clinton started all this economy mess we're in right now.

I'm not so sure about any merger plans, but it is a possibility that is possible. I'm thinking more along the lines that the company will turn itself around without a buyout offer. Let's face it, ETFC is like no other broker out there. Global trading, banking, etc.....Even if they did merge it would end up being sold off to a lesser entity for a dirt cheap price (I think that would be a bad deal on ETrade's part).
I just started banking with Etrade, now that they dumped all their bad assets. I think at 2.50/sh, ETFC is a good long term buy...and if it goes back down to 2/sh, load the cart with some more shares. Just look at the recent insider trend...
it hasnt...I was just wondering if it has been, because I havent really been following ETFC a whole lot. They have some pretty good deals right now as far as their products go...
I'd buy ETFC because at these levels its a steal!
Does anybody out there see ETrade filing Chapter 11 any time soon? or is there actually hope that they will show signs of growth in the next year?
I just found out about this company...
and I just gotta have one of the sweet rides now lol
well...if you really think about it, doesn't every election just come down to either voting for a douche or a turd?
XDSL great news today!!!
eventually it will.....
And things will get much much worse if we elect Obama into office.
I'm long AIG @ $4.93...I'm expecting about a 100% gain
I'm short STEI @ $9.13...expecting to cover between $6 and $7/sh
I did the same thing on UBS...reversed at $16.00. Oh well. I usually have at least 1 loss in about 6 or 7 trades.
LOL more like blue balls
reiteration mdurrr
PLUS I think naked shorting should be banned. I don't do it, and I think its a good move by the SEC.
I still dont see how the shorts can get squeezed on AIG...lol. Yeah, being up 30 cents is nothing when you sell short at 10 bucks.
I never said I was naked short selling. My broker doesnt "naked" short stocks. The shares are located before the short order is even approved.
lol...its been like that since FNM and FRE....get with the program
anybody here?
I think the stock is worth about 50 cents since the bailout
the whole market is LOL right now.
AIG has been on my short radar since June...
lol...you're not allowed to short stocks with a price less than $5.00...at least with my broker you're not
actually the shorts probably win here. Same thing happened when the government bailed out FNM and FRE.
sure, stocks will rally...with the exception of AIG
about 60 cents
lol...optimistic is an understatement.
This is exactly what happened to Fannie and Freddie, and now their stock isn't worth jack. My guess is, after everyone digests the bailout, AIG will assume the same fate.
85 bil loan? ...ugh..the dollar isnt worth anything to begin with and still we want to crank up the presses at the Treasury? what the hell man.
I love the short position here lol
anybody else get in on September puts at the last min? :D
lol...LEH has been on my short radar since June.
oh no at .17 lol
so...who wants shares at 0.18..
lmao
anybody else thinking about the September 19.00 calls?
haha...cant add shorts under 5 buck share price
LMAO...yeah that sounds really good....
sure...add more shares
for the big "bounce"
LEH DECLARES BANKRUPTCY!!!
