ETFC buyout opinion
I personally don't think Ameritrade or Schwab will be a buyer. Instead, I'm guessing we'll see a buyout from the likes of Citigroup, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, or ING...each of which has either a lousy or non-existent trading platform.
It's certainly going to be interesting to see how this plays out. In the meantime, I'm holding on to my trade with tight stops.
