E*Trade Financial Corp (ETFC)

I maintain a long position on E*trade. I think it has great potential to be bought by a larger company such as SCHW. It also has a large rise in accounts opened. I think that this stock is going nowhere but up!

Easy call, will go up eventually, might take awhile, perhaps your money can earn greater returns elsewhere, but on caps, ill take the points.

Bankruptcy is off the table. Great brand name and trading platform (I use it). Will most like get taken over by a bigger player.

I own a few hundred of these stocks and I love it. I think this stock will go up, Way up, consistently in the upcoming years to come. a super cheap buy for a dominant player who will outlast the current market conditions

Likely gaining speed. Should start making a profit again and then will grow quickly, or be taken over by a larger financial.

Major upside with slim chance of going under.

If ETFC can profit from recent high trading volumes, and get its loan losses under control, this stock has a lot of potential!!!

I use it

Cash position is enormous, debt seems manageable and one or two quarterly reports near positive zero or better could catapult this stock at least to 3$

I don't see etfc moving up until mortgage defaults subside.

Stock is heavly traded, after almost becoming insolvent,and is near the near term low. It has been upgraded by some analysts.

E*Trade is a solid company and is a bargain at under $2/share. Plus, I love the baby trader commercial!

its last quarter was better than expected.
now that times are looking up,
this time would be still better

With all the debt reduction that E- Trade has accomplished and the ongoing profits they are realizing in their core business, I belive it won't be long until their stock price reflects this.....I am a bit of a contrarion, in that, when most are negative I'm positive and vic e versa.....Strictly a Warren Buffet paraphrase, but it works.!! Give it some time..You won't be sorry...

Ground floor price at $1.69 / share.
The value of their retail online investor business list alone is worth $2.00. No brainer and a more-than-viable candidate for acquisition.

like others said, its debt is low compared to the industry. great value for other companies to take over (in this case it will most likely get doubled in value). it has gotten over the crisis. it's a great company with great technology. however this company seriously needs to reconsider customer service. charging extra fees in the accounts is not very professional. but i can see this overcoming that issue once the management changes.

One aspect that I think has been underrepresented with this stock is consumer psychology. This company has succeeded in one of the immutable laws of marketing which is to be first in the consumer mind. That means that Etrade is the first online trading company to embed itself in the minds of consumers. When you have a product that is embedded in consumers minds, you have an advantage at leading the way. Now obviously you have to have good numbers to stay afloat. This is where Etrade has suffered. However with changes in leadership, current surges in online trading, catchy advertising themes, excellent research tools and many of the factors that hurt there numbers beginning to turn around, etrade is a lion in the grass, waiting for some positive numbers. Already Etrade has been adding new accounts at a rate faster than any of their competitors, this will drive revenue.

Trading volume is strong. Mortgage exposure is only thing holding this stock back and their portfolio has aged enough where losses are manageable, especially with housing market turning upwards and mortgage rates exceptionally low for foreseeable future. Stock will be taken private by Citadel (largest shareholder) who did abrubt reversal on selling stake, or by AMTD or SCHW within the next year.

E-Trade stops trying to make space ships and goes back to what they do best, and Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize! An't it awesome to be an AMERICAN!!! One day a 0 and the next a HERO! Hey! don't knock him,he just might surprise some folks. Already has this old toad. Don't overlook this one either while it's in the penny stocks as it gets problems solved and works it's way back around to a profit sling'en market hound. A little research says it won't be in in the death bed for long.
