ParticipantI’m glad I’m watching this thread. I’m learning a lot. I don’t know much about US treasuries, much less about shorting them

ParticipantI love E*TRADE. I left them because their balance sheets showed me they were insolvent.
They have done a lot of work since then to return to adequate capital ratios…but I haven’t looked over their balance sheets again.
So IF you find E*TRADE has gotten their toxic mortgages off their balance sheet, and reached safe capital ratios…might be a good choice.
For now i’ll stick with Fidelity, for safety.

ParticipantYou should be able to do this with a trailing stop,
Good advice. I’m with Fidelity. I’ll check if they offer trailing stops. Fidelity kinda sucks because their interface not set up for speculators, more set up for mom and pop buy and hold investors.
I really miss E*TRADE, loved their trading screen user interface. Ahh, but E*TRADE decided to get into the mortgage business and go insolvent. So, I said “bye bye E*TRADE”
These days, it is like playing “Musical Chairs” when you pick your brokerage. Every week the music stops and another brokerage house goes belly up! Hope your portfolio isn’t sitting in the wrong one when the music stops!
