The collapse of E*Trade just sounds like a fantastic takeover opportunity for anyone with the financial stability to bail the company out. I.e. Google and synergize it with its Google Finance product. Considering the kind of money Google is paying for stuff in the tech world like the YouTube acquisition, a purchase of E*Trade really makes lots of sense because it is a very well known brand name with a good sustainable business model. If only I had the $$$!

It’s S$1.43 to US$1 now.. time to visit USA!
Given the massive inflation in Singapore in recent years, I think it’s cheaper to live in the States now!
The dropping USD is actually very good for the tech sector. Because when you charge in USD now, people don’t mind paying because it’s cheaper. And also because tech sector has less direct exposure to commodities and raw materials.

FYI: Bjorn and I had the record for our batch. 
Listerine was available.
If you had opportunity sitting right in front of you, why not go all out?
