It has also been able to attract customers and post strong trading volume despite balance sheet issues. We expect loan loss provisions and valuation adjustments will continue to weigh on results, but we think ETFC has acted in a timely manner and should be able to sustain its business. We are raising our target price by $0.50 to $4.00, a discount to its book value, but keep our '08 estimate at a loss of $0.49.|US;ETFC|38358|102283 Quotes and other information supplied by independent providers identified on the E*TRADE vendor disclosures page
