Is ETrade good or bad?



Does anyone have any experiences they can share about ETrade. It's been suggested that I invest some money through ETrade, but I haven't heard of them and am now starting to look into it. Does anyone have any opinions that they can share?
Thanks

I'm a current E*TRADE customer. As with all brokers/banks they have their good & bad.

The good:
Reliable, Reputable, decent customer service, good Interest rates (especially on Savings accounts), easy to access information on-line, refunds of all bank ATM fees (not over-draft fees)

The Bad:
All accounts are generally free if you meet certain minimums (be sure to check these out), very limited number of physical locations (think about how you'll deposit money...on-line or mailing in checks)

My advice would be to do your own investigating. The on-line bank & broker that works well for me or your friend may not be the best for you. I've learned how to manage around the "bad" with E*TRADE & it works well for me.

Good luck! Source(s): etrade.com
It is one of the several leading on line stock trading firms. It is not bad. Whether it is good or not rather depends on exactly what you are looking for in such a firm. It is not the least expensive nor is not the most expensive. They offer good service and have a good reputation among on line trading firms. Others you might wish to consider are Scottrade, TD Ameritrade, and OptionsXpress. Among the more expensive is Fidelity. A little more high end maybe.
yes it is trust worthy .. go ahead. check yahoo finance for more info
Years ago I invested with ETrade for a brief period of time and found them to be reputable and trustworthy.
