someone wanna tell me why etrade, which released the news just after market closed and traded after hours for some time, is down basically 40% today? I mean, their ongoing business has alot of value, that seems crazy to me.

alright, bought some etrade jan 7.50$ calls for .40 a contract. Good price, major potential to the upside for a small cost.

I just read a report that said ETrade may have to file for bankruptcy protection. It's down 50% today.

Anyone know a good way to scan lots of companies quarterly summaries rapidly. In particular I'm looking for companies that miss quarterly guidance/consensus.

Thanks,

Krishan

I use stockscreeners but have never seen one that can discern analyst estimates vs actual earnings. That doesn't mean one doesn't exist though. They will screen many other factors. Two good free ones are here and here.
