The return of E*Trade
ETFC
+5.65%
in

Filed under: Newsletters, Bargain stocks, Stocks to Buy  If there is a silver lining in the disaster that has been investing in the markets in 2008, it's that increases in volatility made it possible to generate huge returns moving in and out of stocks in a very short period of time.
Day trading had all but disappeared after the dot-com crash. And while the strategy is making a comeback in a major way this year, investors have yet to catch on. Think about it for a moment. What businesses were at the forefront of this investment strategy? <>Discount online brokers, led by E*Trade Financial Corp. (...

It has been a rough road with ETFC but I am still holding. To early to sell more CC and earnings have moved on. Despite the *&&^$%#$^&^& market ET will surprise the world in 2009 if not sooner. Morningstar just gave ET a 4 star rating. I wish I had bought in at this level but I will get my profits.

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 straig< />< />< />< />< />< />< />...

<> <> 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 ...

As the stock market and the financial market meltdown is being controlled, there should be pretty good news for E*Trade. E#Trade is one of the stock that took a very severe beating during the financial meltdown on the stock markets. It went down very badly and even now, the stock is nothing compared to its year highs. As this is a battered stock, conventional logic would dictate that this should be a high risk stock to buy. But unless the company were to completely fold down, there isn't much downward risk on this stock. But yes, if the economy were to do better and if the people were to fe...

On November 29, 2007 Citadel invested $2.5 billion of cash into E*Trade (ETFC). Citadel had been “scrutinizing E*Trade’s balance sheet” since July 2007, when E*Trade first reported its mortgage market problems in a conference call. “So Citadel understood better than most—even E*Trade management—not only how serious its problems were but also the real value of E*Trade’s business” (source).
<>With this transaction, Citadel also became E*Trade’s largest shareholder with 20% of E*Trade’s stock. At this time Citadel owns 89.53 million shares; and holds $1.75 billion of 10-year <>...

The Online Brokerage Wars: E*Trade Offers Compelling Risk/Reward

One of the most competitive spaces right now
must be the online brokerage business.<!----> It is to be expected: it is an
industry with relatively low barriers for entry and a huge potential
market. As the stock market is democratized by the power of the
Internet and its abundance of quality information, the need for
full-service brokers is dwindling. <>This is not new, and the process hasbeen going on for years now. Yet, full-service brokers still havesignificant number of customers who the online brokers are constantlyvying for. Likewise, new generations of would-be investors join themass o...

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.

Buy Low, Sell High: Right Time for the Former

Contrary to consumer behavior in retail, investors tend to shy away from the stock market when shares are cheap, but seem to be drawn to it like moths to a flame during market bubbles, when prices are highly inflated.<!----> In its June 2008 issue, The Wall Street Journal’s magazine “Smart Money” published a chart showing how investors are pulling money out of mutual funds during down markets. In other words, they are selling low.
<>Another example: Between 1973 and 2002, NASDAQ stocks gained an annual average of 9.6%. Yet, on average, investors only earned about 4.3% annually. On...

<>E*Trade's (ETFC) management is doing a superb job in correcting the errors of the past and bettering the firm's position for the future. <!---->Through of a series of brilliant marketing campaigns (i.e. funny baby commercial) and creative initiatives (global trading), the company has managed to retain its retail client base. The April activity report was surprisingly bullish, as average revenue trades were up 5.8% year over year while the stock was trading at 6 times its current value. While management has disclosed that further writedowns and capital dilution may quite possibly occur, thes...

<>Yahoo (YHOO), Microsoft (MSFT), Google (GOOG)<>On Icahn’s decision to pursue Yahoo, Karen Finerman doesn’t think the risk/reward is worth it and believes a lot of the Icahn factor is already priced in. She is uncertain whether MSFT is still interested in the deal. She thinks Icahn’s radical proposals to reform Yahoo’s board might interfere with rather than facilitate a deal. Macke thinks Icahn will succeed and MSFT will return to the table. While Najarian agrees MSFT may still pursue Yahoo, he sold half of his Yahoo position. Adami woul< /><>< />...
