bbotcs: Schwab/Etrade merger, I never say never <g>, but Chuck Schwab merging with Etrade does not sound like him. He is an innovator, an acquirer maybe, not an equal partner type. Etrade might praise him and then try to bury him.
btw: Schwab StreetSmart Pro is a direct connect, not web based program... very fast, no browser reload delays involved. They have a web version for when you are not using your own computer, it can be slow.
Signatures are so yesterday!
