E*TRADE
It is well suited for investment in common stocks, bonds, and other commercial paper. It is well suited for purchasing foreign stocks. It is not presently appropriate for other investment opportunities involving private stocks or limited issues. Extracting funds can be a challenge from time to time. Collecting data on investment opportunities is not always easy to do.

E*TRADE allows ease of use and reasonable fees. We selected E*TRADE because they offer the set of applications we were seeking. We do not have to pay for expensive service access that we do not use. E*TRADE is compatible with our systems and their reporting has been simple to integrate into our systems.

Shrimpy is simpler to use, and the portfolio rebalancing to adjust to market movements is its best asset. This was used for stocks and shares prior and works in a similar way with crypto. Not sure as to the long-term gains this will provide but the theory stacks up.

Return on Investment
E*TRADE
  • Limit how much you want invest.
  • This is an open trade website and there is a risk of losing your money based on your investments.
  • If you make some sound investments and keep yourself within a budgeted spending limit there is the opportunity to make money on e-trade.

  • Crypto has taken a hit so ROI is negative at the moment but it will go back up.
