tight stops on ETFC :


I wouldn't bother. If you can delve into their loan portfolio then maybe you could make a guess as to value...

Either they get a bid -- and it gaps up...

Or some more revealing bad news comes out and it'll gap down 30% or something like that. Not sure how you would use a stop or where to place it when a stock is swinging an average of 50% the past 2 days...

On the ETFC platform subject , I have to say .. Etrade Pro has been pretty darned clean in the few months I'm using it. It's always important to have your computer up to snuff. And, clear the cache regularly.

I used to trade w/ Pro and had a number if issues. These past months have been excellent. You can always call tech support to ask them to help clean up your computer if you are finding entering orders sluggish during busy times.

Plus, you get DJ news which is a big help.
