Pros: cost, research, speed, real-time quotes
Cons: slow customer service (10 min avg. wait time)

E*Trade is an excellent online broker. I have accounts at four major online firms, E*Trade, Ameritrade, Fidelity, and Discover Brokerage. E*Trade has the best system. It's response time is unbeatable. Usually it takes about 12 seconds more to load an...

Pros: None - Research is abundant throughout the net.
Cons: You must type a password in for each Trade, slowing the process.

I chose E*Trade initially because of their widespread brand name. It was agonizing to wonder what was going on while I sat in front of my computer after executing a trade. I used E*Trade from February to March 2000 to execute about 35 trades and then I...

Pros: Timely trades, easy website handle, strong company
Cons: More expensive than many others

I started my investing experience with E*Trade in February 2000 because I liked the commercial shown during the Super Bowl. Ya, dumb reason, but I'm glad I did. I was hoping to find an online brokerage that would still be in existence over the next...

Cons: The idea of having a server as a broker

Have you done your homework about online investing before taking the plunge? Well, it is not done for everybody. If you don't know much about online investing, I would advise you to start gathering all kinds of information you need to take advantage of...

Pros: IPO's
Cons: High commissions

I opened an E-trade account mainly to participate in their IPO's. I purchased a stock pre-IPO and when it had the IPO the stock went up 300% so I sold. This is known as flipping, since I did this E-trade prohibited me from participating in their IPO's...

Pros: ergtewrg
Cons: rgeww

SureTrade's combination of cheap trades and no-frills service pays off big time. I waited until trying a second online broker, E*Trade, before writing either review. I was disappointed with several aspects of SureTrade, but I knew that many of these...

Pros: alot
Cons: little

I started to invest online just over two years ago and Etrade has been with me all the way. My favorite thing about Etrade is that it gives you the best research tools available online, you can easily point and click your way into more information than...

Pros: Simple commission rates
Cons: $15 fee for non-use

I've never seen a company push for new customers like these people do.

I opened my E-Trade account, not because I needed an online broker, but because they were giving away 6 months of AOL for free if you opened an account. So opening an...

Pros: Nice website!
Cons: High transaction fees!

Just to let you know, I've had an brokerage account with Etrade for a year now. I'm somewhat satisfied. I would change but transferring my stocks to another brokerage is way too much trouble.

TRANSACTION COST (for stocks only)!
Etrade...

I selected ETRADE two years ago as my online brokerage. I was living out of the country at the time, and the thought of keeping track of my investments and making new ones online was appealing. I had a good experience at first, but I slowly realized...

Pros: realism, speed, resources
Cons: web page development

Many of my friends come to me and ask how they should start investing. People have so many questions that are very hard to put into words. My advise to them is, "if you are just getting started go to Etrade and sign-up for the etrade game. It is...

Pros: Inexpensive, Convenient
Cons: Slow website access, trades do not always show up when you request them

E-Trade is a great way for someone looking to make many trades at an inexpensive price to do their trading. In addition to offering inexpensive trades, E-Trade also offers research, IPO offerings, and has many other features. Although E-Trade has these...

Pros: Convenience, Information, Cost, Security
Cons: Speed

My involvement with E*Trade stems from my membership in an investment club. This club, which consists of 8 other members, selected E*Trade as our online brokerage firm.
E*Trade has been very convenient throughout by stock market experiences. Unlike...

Pros: Cheaper than traditional broker
Cons: Not for a novice trader, slow loading, trading fees fluctuate

I'm a stock market addict...yes, I confess. Even a stay at home mom can have a thing for the stock market. I've been trading since high school (more years that I need to mention) back when the only option was to call Marv at Royal Securities and place...

Pros: cheap
Cons: doesn't work correctly very often

I have had plenty of trouble with E*Trade. I have given them a fair chance, but closed my account. I have had trouble logging on, trouble setting up alerts, trouble with inaccurate trades, trouble transferring stock to another broker, and trouble with...

Pros: Easy to work with
Cons: A little on the expensive side

E*trade is very easy to use. I, just a young 12 year old boy, set up an account, and invested. This is very easy to use, but it takes some time to set up an account, it isn't a 5 minute-thing. It has all the information you will need to make an account....
