E TRADE Financial Corp (ETFC)

ETFC has been weak lately.

It certainly has not been keeping up with the markets. I have been assuming it was tax loss selling related.

I hope to get some shares closer to $1.50 or lower as we head into the end of the year. If that happens then maybe we'll have one of those monster rallies in January to start the year off with a bang.

As for the rumors, I tend to think any buyout is 6 months or more away. I don't see how they can just sell the brokerage side of things and the mortgage side is still AFU, but improving.

Anyway. Have a great holiday and we'll see what happens.
