Etrade Financial Review

I like the trade options in etrade, what I don't like is they lure you in with low commission rate of $7.99 and then bump it up twice to $12.99 and other hidden fees.

It also makes me loose consumer confidence when etrade stock is earning is roughly $1.20 a share and near the point of bankruptcy.  So if the company goes down will my account and money be safe?  I had to ask twice to even get an answer.  For the most part they like to dodge questions.
