Auf die Frage:
"Warum fällt E*Trade AU. zur Zeit wieder..?"




Antwort:

E*Trade takes mauling

By RICHARD SALMONS
Tuesday 4 April 2000

The online stockbroking price war is starting to draw blood, sending shares in the number-two player, E*Trade Australia, plunging after another company yesterday offered a brokerage fee of less than $10 per trade.

The Lend Lease subsidiary, Your Prosperity, became the first broker to offer a sub-$10 rate, cutting its Internet retail trading price to $9.90 for trades up to $10,000.

The rate is one-third of the lowest trading prices offered just a week ago and its impact is being felt in the share price of the biggest free-standing online broker (and second biggest overall), E*Trade Australia.

Although the Your Prosperity offer was heavily qualified, E*Trade`s shares fell 25 cents to $3.80 yesterday and have collapsed 28per cent from $5.23 a week ago. That was before the heated round of price-cutting begun last Wednesday by Quicken.com.au`s $19.90 offer.

The online market leader, Commonwealth Securities, cut its rates to match, and the process was repeated on Friday as Westpac, and ComSec went to just under $15.

Your Prosperity was quick to point out that its bargain came with plenty of strings.

"It`s the trading price with our portfolio services which people subscribe to. It has an ongoing fee attached," said the chief executive, Mr John Reid.

Asked how $10 could cover transaction costs, Mr Reid said: "It doesn`t. We`re charging the subscription fee in order to encourage people to use the retail portfolio service. We`re effectively hoping to share our subscription fee with you."

Your Prosperity charges an annual subscription of 0.85 per cent to 0.25 per cent of funds invested.

In return for this, customers receive quantitative information and tax reports. After allowing for the Australian Stock Exchange`s fees, the $9.90 rate gives the firm little surplus to cover back-office costs.

On most trades it would be dwarfed by the stamp-duty, which the client still foots.

As a result, the firm believed competitors were unlikely to match the price.

"In our view, they can`t because they don`t offer the comprehensive service," Mr Reid said. Your Prosperity is charging $19.90 to customers who only want to make transactions. The firm was set up by Lend Lease 18 months ago as an online provider of portfolio services. As part of this, the firm offers online trading of shares and also wholesale managed funds.

It provides research on share and fund performance, but not investment advice. According to Mr Reid, the discount brokerage rate suited mostly "self-directed" investors. The rise of online brokers has paralleled the growth in share ownership and the increase in trading on the ASX toward records set last week.

ComSec was set up in 1995 and charged $75 for phone trading.

Mal schauen, was die sich bei E*Trade AU. als Antwort einfallen
lassen werden. Wenn E*Trade AU. größter Online Broker in AU. werden
möchte, ist das jetzt die beste Möglichkeit.........

News forges online link with E*Trade

By Tony Boyd


News Corp has made a belated entry to the online financial services sector in Australia with the signing of a partnership with online broker E*Trade.

News will provide financial news and information to the E*Trade site, while E*Trade will provide financial market information and charts to News Interactive`s various sites.

E*Trade shares rose 10 per cent to $1.89 before the announcement, adding some lustre to a stock which has dulled in the face of declining sharemarket volumes. News Corp rose 22¢ to $23.22.

Under the partnership agreement E*Trade will be the exclusive online broker for the finance and trading-place areas of the news.com.au portal.

The managing director of E*Trade, Mr Kerry Roxburgh, refused to reveal any of the financial aspects of the deal, including the impact on E*Trade.

"We`re not able to predict what sort of business will flow from this partnership," he said.

Mr Roxburgh said the deal was significant from E*Trade`s point of view. "It fits our strategy of striking best-of-breed alliances," he said.

E*Trade will be featured on the finance home page and trading-place area of the news.com.au site. The finance home page will include E*Trade`s charts and stock quotes, and the trading-place area will provide market commentary.

E*Trade`s general manager, marketing, Mr Bill Wileman, said in a statement: "The mutual gain of this alliance is realised through the ability of investors to both receive and utilise market information."

Mr Patrice McAree, managing director of News Interactive, said in a statement: "Our finance area is one of the most popular features of the news.com.au site and our customers will benefit greatly from the expert information on the markets and share trading supplied by E*Trade Australia."


Under the agreement, E*Trade`s promotion will extend through other News Interactive sites, which include AFL, GoFish and CareerOne.


Access to the services on the E*Trade broking site requires registration and a minimum deposit of $1,000.

The company claims to have a market share of about 30 per cent in online broking.

Research by www.consult released last month found that there were 100,000 clients of online broking firms in Australia who traded more frequently than every month.

Explores trading of premium wine

E*TRADE Australia (ASX: ETR), one of Australia`s leading online
financial services providers (www.etrade.com.au), today announced a
significant agreement with the Australian Wine Exchange (AWX) to
explore the development of Australia`s first market for trading in
premium wine.

The Wine Makers Federation of Australia estimates the value of the
domestic premium wine market to be $3.5 billion, growing at
approximately 3 per cent per annum. Understanding the investment
potential in wine, the AWX recently announced plans to develop an
innovative market for investing in premium wine in Australia. E*TRADE
Australia has an option to take equity in AWX.

The AWX model for the trading of premium wine will be similar to the
stock market, bringing buyers and sellers together in an open
exchange. Uncertificated holding statements will represent the
trading and movement of wine prior to physical delivery at a deferred
point in time.

"The AWX will take the wine industry out of auction rooms and
shopping trolleys and into the world of financial services," said
Michael Deleray, CEO, E*TRADE Australia. "This is an innovative
offering which will broaden our product base of tradable securities
and enable our customers to diversify their portfolios. Our goal will
be to help the AWX develop the market and to offer investors access
to our fully electronic trading platform to buy and sell premium
wine."

Support from strategic partnerships is an essential element in the
development of the AWX`s business model. AWX, CEO, Stephen Thompson
believes E*TRADE Australia is an ideal channel to trade premium wine
and believes this major technology initiative will drive convergence
of equities into wine markets.

"Aligning with key market leaders and true technology innovators that
share similar customer bases is fundamental for the development of
the AWX. E*TRADE Australia is an essential partner for our growth as
it provides us with access to over 55,000 savvy online investors who
are likely to desire alternative investment classes," said Mr
Thompson.

E*TRADE Australia will be a founding broker of the AWX.

Hallo ph6,

offensichtlich hat sich die Adresse der IR-Homepage von Etrade Au geändert. Ich finde die akutelle Adresse jedenfalls nicht.

Könntest Du mal bitte posten, woher Du die Adhoc-Meldung hast?

Danke
GG

[LED09]

Hallo Gordan Gecko,

Solche Infos findest Du auf der Homepage etrade.com.au dann unter Investor relation.Dort findest Du Price chart, Presse und vieles mehr.

Sie fangen an zu laufen langsam aber sicher. Es fehlen halt Analysten die dem Kurs so richtig laufen lernen. Die News sind da, die Fundamentaldaten stimmen, Wachstum der Kundenzahl jedoch kein Analyst dem dieses nur ansatzweise auffällt oder imponiert. Warum nicht ??
Aber sie werden kommen, es geht kein Weg daran vorbei. Wachstumsaktie pur und kein Zockerzettel.

Bis dahin

Hey, Midas
ich besitze schon ca ein Jahr E*Trade, weil ich von der Firma überzeugt bin. Nur leider sind die institutionellen Anleger an "Brokern" im Moment nicht interessiert. Ich hoffe auf die Olympiade 2000 in AU. Dort wird evt.die Werbung etwas Einfluß nehmen können. Ich bleibe weiterhin investiert, aber für meinen Teil warte noch etwas mit dem nachkauf von E*Trade

Ciao
