I'm not so sure about any merger plans, but it is a possibility that is possible. I'm thinking more along the lines that the company will turn itself around without a buyout offer. Let's face it, ETFC is like no other broker out there. Global trading, banking, etc.....Even if they did merge it would end up being sold off to a lesser entity for a dirt cheap price (I think that would be a bad deal on ETrade's part).

I just started banking with Etrade, now that they dumped all their bad assets. I think at 2.50/sh, ETFC is a good long term buy...and if it goes back down to 2/sh, load the cart with some more shares. Just look at the recent insider trend...
