It's been a long time since everyone went running for the hills. Those few brave souls who have hung in there or tried to pick the pivot points of the ocean that is the economy have been harried and beaten half out of their senses.
The old saying "All hard work brings a profit" comes to mind when I look at companies like E*Trade. Certainly these guys made some bad decisions, certainly they are in a time where people have run from the services they offer.
However, on the long-term scale they are one of the best brokerages out there. Easy to use interface, simple and straight...

E*Trade is what all value investors love: a one-time fixable problem. It won't go bankrupt. It might be bought by a competitor like Ameritrade. The recent new share issuance will help them clean up their balance sheet and make them more attractive to a suitor. t is trading for peanuts because everyone hates financials and brokers especially, as they underform during recessions. The old, underperforming management has been tossed out. Sure, there might be further unexpected writedowns out there, but the worst is over. I will use those times to snap up shares on the cheap. It's sellin...

E*TRADE will go back to $20 eventually the questions is when. As the energy market becomes more exposed to the general public and talk of the economy failing becomes more abundant people will start to wizen up and begin to invest. Most people see E*Trade as the most user friendly / post popular way to trade. Their commercials don’t just span the financial TV stations but most TV stations which helps keep their name fresh in the minds of the general public. The veteran investors may already be set in their ways and have a system hat they feel comfortable using but it’s the general public ...

E-Trade Financial Carries High Risk-Reward
 E-Trade Financial (ETFC) has had its share of problems. A few years back, E-Trade was the biggest competitor to TD Ameritrade (AMTD) and the stock traded together with the brokerage stocks. Yet, since the mortgage headlines began to hit the wires last year, the stock has dropped from $23 to $3 today. In fact, the stock hit $2.25 back in January of this year. In other words, the stock has been hit like it were a Countrywide.
What the market might have overlooked is that ETFC's primary line of business has been its trading business. In fact, the number of net new retail accounts in July total ...

Lessons Learned From A Dangerous Year
In the beginning of the year, a column I wrote for Real Money discussed some lessons of the past year. It never was moved over to the free site, so here is my belated update. It is a mix of fundamental, economic, technical and even
philosophical lessons that those savvy CEOs, fund managers and
individual investors who were paying attention picked up in the recent turmoil. 1) Ignore market rumors: It seemed every time some firm was in trouble, the same gossip was floated that Warren Buffett was about to buy them. Time and again, these tales proved to be unfounded money-losers. This year's m

Filed under: Citigroup Inc. (C), Merrill Lynch (MER), Wachovia Corp (WB), Washington Mutual (WM), Lehman Br Holdings (LEH), Newcastle Investment (NCT), MBIA Inc (MBI), Gramercy Capital (GKK), E*TRADE (ETFC), East West Bancorp (EWBC)  Yesterday the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 225, so I decided to peg the financial stocks I wrote about investing in as a pool. We are often accused of bragging on the good days and having memory loss on the bad so I wanted to be transparent and forthright on the downside.
To my surprise the financial stock pool is actually up 9.96% on average. Six stocks ...
