I see institutional buying has increased and they will hold for a
while. I think a buyout is in the works and I think it will happen
sooner than anyone thinks. I will change my opinion once I see a
serious list of CEO candidates. I won't even sell covered calls on
this because I really think now is the time. If a suitor waits any

True, But I dont think people want to wait for years on this stock.
Most people are in for a few months at a time to take their profits

Its only more evidence that a bottom is near. This is when smart money

What do you think about all the news that came out today?
Do you think that ETFC will see through this and be strong?

I am worried when the market opens on Monday. Are others with me?
Raise your hands.
Just when the market hit over 10,000 on the DOW and then all this
news. I pasted the links in my other post.

Worried about the news now to effect the DOW and ETFC

Well - keep in mind that second quarter of 2010 will be profitable (if
the world doesn't collapse again) in which case 2.50 is low...

I mean - once they become a profitable stable institution they should
by at least 3...

The thing guys is - that as soon as they pass the 2.50 - 3.00 mark, a
lot of funds and institutions will be interested as well - not that

making 30 40 or 100 % on the money that WE give them and they only
give us 5% on are CD if we are lucky and CEO get paid 400% of a

OK everyone - it is pretty clear that we have to be gloomy in order
for ETrade to go up - so here is my 2 cents...

They have done really poorly lately because they don't have a CEO...

Hold on a sec. -> is there a CEO announcement on Wed???

Oh, absolutely cjre - no disagreement here. My point was that back in
early 2009 - maybe after the March drop - Barclays made those
ridiculous 12 month targets. That's my point. I bought F betting on
my research that it would be the winner over a period of 6 months to a
year. So Barclays made this call before GM imploded. I consider it a

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
