I don't think so T b/c C is already letting MS profit off of HSBC
brokerage. Maybe MS, JPM, BAC, WFC, GS .... TROW is a big shareholder
of ETFC - could be them - they're global.

not to bad!! If you look at a weekly chart I see a upside down head
and shoulder that GOOD. I also like to point out that starbucks had a
good 3Q. Maybe there is some jobs being created.

Temp jobs get created first - Manpower and Career Builder have data
you wouldn't believe - they can really get a handle on what positions
are sought and what's being created.

Bottom line always gets protected first - people get laid off not
necessarily as a result of the recession but in anticipation of how it
might affect the bottom line (you lay off workforce, when you
anticipate possible fewer sales or sitting inventory).

Inventory finally being replaced is cause to hire temporary staff -
and the timing is pretty good, as it's the holiday season. But the
question is whether the growth can sustain itself or do you need more
stimulus.

There won't be more stimulus (we can't print anymore money b/c at some
point we'll have fewer buying our debt) - but we also haven't spent
all the stimulus yet (only about 10% has actually been spent, so don't
let pundits panic you, there's more spending to come, unless Congress
decides to rescind funds (let's hope not/not likely).

Next year is all about reallocating and streamlining in my view.
Stimulus aside, there are a number of programs that are up for
reauthorization. Oftentimes you will hear about a legislature or
Chief Executive initiating a new program - perhaps a new block grant.
What typically happens is the block grant is a consolidation of other
existing programs and a reduction in the total amount ....

Yeah and ETFC does not fire there people, they are very selective who
they hire and very careful. So this company will grow. Can't wait for
the new CEO. This should increase ETFC all the way around.
