Agree with your comments fully. Etrade have more to lose out of this if they don't top up their customers like Comsec has done !!!!
If Etrade don't start making some good decisions FAST I am sure it will start to lose momentum fast especially in this market. Have a look at Etrade in the states the chart is falling like a stone so don't think your safe people.
Would rather be with Comsec at the moment but willing to see how Etrade finalises this MF Global issue to its clients.
