Etrade could possibly sell its Brokerage Unit to Ameritrade if it got worst, who knows, I am just speculating
ETRADE: For Brokerage Services: E*TRADE Securities LLC, is a Member of SIPC which protects securities customers of its members up to $500,000 (including $100,000 for claims for cash). Explanatory brochure available upon request or at http://www.sipc.org
E*TRADE Clearing LLC maintains insurance with an aggregate limit of $600 million to pay amounts in addition to those returned in a SIPC liquidation, provided that (1) the combined return from the Trustee's distributions, SIPC and our own insurance to any customer does not exceed $150 million, and (2) as a sub limit, the return of cash to any one customer through our insurance does not exceed $900,000. This coverage does not protect against loss of the market value of securities. Details are available on request.
SIPC
SIPC coverage is not the same as the insurance on bank accounts provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). It does not protect investors against a decline in the market value of securities. SIPC generally protects customers against the physical loss of securities if the broker/dealer holding the securities for the customer fails.
From SIPC http://www.sipc.org/how/brochure.cfm
How quickly will I get my investments back?
Most customers can expect to receive their property in one to three months. When the records of the brokerage firm are accurate, deliveries of some securities and cash to customers may begin shortly after the trustee receives the completed claim forms from customers, or even earlier if the trustee can transfer customer accounts to another broker-dealer. Delays of several months usually arise when the failed brokerage firm’s records are not accurate. It also is not uncommon for delays to take place when the troubled brokerage firm or its principals were involved in fraud.
Etrade, Hopefully Etrade comes up with another press release as most will withdraw their funds from the bank and ask questions later, i mean who wants to wait for months for the FDIC to pay up, incase of Bankruptcy. Cramer said if most people take out their money from Etrade, that would be terrible!
I am unsure of Etrade Brokerage, will that account be covered? Too many questions....
Anyways, its time to open another brokerage account, any suggestions? is Ameritrade any good? What do you use?
Thanks

Etrade, Does that mean that those who have the brokerage account are fully covered incase a bankruptcy occurs?, since there are 3 separate companies
Etrade Message from Company President
November 12, 2007
This is a challenging time for the financial services industry. Bad news in the credit, housing, and stock markets continues to dominate and E*TRADE is not immune to these market conditions.
However, you, our customers, should know that we continue to be well capitalized by regulatory standards. As a matter of fact, we could absorb an immediate write down in excess of $1 billion and still remain well capitalized. Nobody knows for certain what the ultimate impact will be from these markets, but it is our expectation that news in the market will get worse before it gets better and, armed with these expectations, we are taking prudent measures to effectively manage the company's balance sheet.
We will continue to earn your confidence, providing state-of-the-art asset protection, including E*TRADE's Complete Protection Guarantee, SIPC Protection for E*TRADE Securities customers and FDIC Insurance for E*TRADE Bank customers.
We appreciate the opportunity to continue to serve you and your investing needs.
—Jarrett Lilien
President, COO and Director, E*TRADE FINANCIAL
E-Trade Financial has lost nearly a third of its value in early pre-market trades on Monday after Citigroup creamed the online brokerage to “sell” from “hold,” saying a bankruptcy risk “cannot be ruled out.”

VCSY $500 Million Bluff
the rumor on raging bulls board/yahoo boards was that MSFT settled with VCSY for $500 million...it seemed too good to be true
anyways i found this dated article from 2003 http://www.forbes.com/window/technology/2005/03/03/cx_ld_0303microsoft.html
excerpt: NEW YORK - Microsoft yesterday scored a legal victory when a U.S. Appeals Court overturned an earlier $521 million patent infringement settlement against the software company. The case, which is still ongoing, highlights an interesting Microsoft legal strategy; that it tends to fight patent cases and settle antitrust cases.
---------------------
MSFT will fight the patent, then appeal if they lose, and so forth
If VCSY had a chance of winning, why wouldn't a hedge fund buy VCSY for $20 million to pocket $500 million from the settlement, also the volume and price rise today is not impressive at all

TNRO $ 1.40 +16.25% long term play
LOS ANGELES, July 12
....For the fiscal year ending May 31, 2007, the Copper and Stainless Steel joint venture operations generated combined preliminary revenues of over $280 million, compared to prior year joint venture revenues of $106.7 million.
rumor posted by who/, rumors can be false or true
preemptive play by MSFT/VCSY is to release the news if any before the market opens
it would be bad for us if MSFT/VCSY release the settlement news before the market opens
but $500million for a settlement is outrageous, i dont know, the trading of VCSY over the past few days does not impress me considering that the smart traders knew the news was going to be out soon
yahoo boards, one guy says he saw the settlement in his dreams http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/Stocks_%28A_to_Z%29/Stocks_V/threadview?m=tm&bn=33693&tid=....
go figure!
wow VCSY could go up 2400% to 50C if the settlement is for $500 M, its at 2c now
yahoo board VCSY http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/Stocks_%28A_to_Z%29/Stocks_M/threadview?m=tm&bn=12004&tid=....
thanks for the info, with this rumor VCSY will rise
but for the past few days, VCSY has not risen, theavg $ traded each days stands at $72K, not much
would MSFT settle?

too many problems and court cases take a long time, but the bounces are extreme in either case
CLSC back to 40c?.."bringing PreHistin to the consumer market"
JULY 6......The Company's chief executive officer, Gerald Yakatan, Ph.D., said, "It is unfortunate that nature did not provide the level of allergy symptoms we needed for our studies, but we continue to believe in PreHistin as a product. Cobalis remains committed to a corporate strategy based on bringing PreHistin to the consumer market. Going forward, we will continue pursuing FDA approval of PreHistin as an OTC drug if we assess the prospects for such approval to be favorable, but we will also investigate other potential marketing channels."
CLSC Hope for another trial 3?
BusinessWire - July 06, 2007 9:15 AM ET Cobalis Reports Phase III Trial Results for PreHistin(TM) in Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis
...In the randomized, six week, placebo-controlled trials involving a total of 1,551 subjects, PreHistin did not achieve statistically significant differences from placebo in the primary measure of efficacy, the reduction in total nasal symptom score (TNSS). However, the TNSS data for placebo-treated patients was far lower than would be expected for the moderate to moderately severe patient population called for in the protocol. Low pollen counts in many of the regions during the time PreHistin was being tested may have resulted in low mean placebo symptom scores for the overall study population.
----------
imho if CLSC is allowed to carry out another trial 3 next year, as the pollen counts this year were low, it could push the stock up
CLSC was trading $1 in may'07

The co plans to replace its employees with a more variable cost-effective consulting team to help the co as it seeks a buyer or partner for its technology and related intellectual property and other assets, in bankruptcy or otherwise. In addition, the co intends to move this month out of its current co headquarters at 155 Federal Street, Boston, MA to substantially smaller, temporary suburban space

possible buyout in a few months?
FBVG damm, i saw it moving at 0.017, but all they do is sell water and was hesitated to buy it, i missed the run :( and missed the drop too :)
i read on some post that someone was sending out spam fax to promote FBVG, i guess thats why the run
with voip calls so cheap, the scamsters can send out hundreds of thousands of spam faxes and get somewhat of the need to buy a pumped up stock
IYXI, was trading $3 before July, then the hugh drop was because of it defaulting on loan payments to western bank

NWBO opened today with little demand, the price fell, i am wondering if the hedge funds or so are trying to set a bear trap today and in the next day or so by inviting shorters, then only to buy excessivley and make the bears cover asap, should be a nice ride to $10
also note that NWBO raised a lot of money a month back, http://www.forbes.com/markets/feeds/afx/2007/06/22/afx3847545.html divide that by the os and the cash raised price per share is at over $6.50
