E-trade

they just sent me an email offering me up to $2500 if i deposit money in my account with them. they are giving deals just like the adw's are, but much bigger.

the sad part is i trust the adw more than i trust E-trade. the deal got sent to me on a day that the market got wrecked and i wonder how many of their clients got burnt today with the fall of the market and they are tempting me to open up an account with them just to replace the people they lost. they also offered $3.95 commission on trades for up to 6 months to go along with the $2500.

my mother always taught me if the deal looks to good to be true, it usually is!

All that happened today is that the Bear awoke from her hibernation. No biggie. This is what bears do.

I always wonder if those internet platforms take a tick or 2 for themselves on market orders.

I remember when a market drop actually meant something...

BTW, the positive Obama policy influence on the economy ended officially yesterday.Starting today, it's all under the guidance of President Trump. He can start getting the credit

they make plenty, i think they sell your trade to high-frequency traders that can front run your trade and they score the pennies and half pennies.
