Etrade is not a member of SIPC (Securities Investor Protection Corporation)

•but Charles Schwab and TD Ameritrade are members of the SIPC (SECURITIES INVESTOR PROTECTION CORPORATION).

https://www.sipc.org/list-of-members?query=etrade

"SIPC was created under the Securities Investor Protection Act as a non-profit membership corporation. SIPC oversees the liquidation of member broker-dealers that close when the broker-dealer is bankrupt or in financial trouble, and customer assets are missing. In a liquidation under the Securities Investor Protection Act, SIPC and the court-appointed Trustee work to return customers’ securities and cash as quickly as possible. Within limits, SIPC expedites the return of missing customer property by protecting each customer up to $500,000 for securities and cash (including a $250,000 limit for cash only)."

E*Trade is an SIPC member.

 

I heard that JT Marlin is being investigated by the FBI

 

i couldn't find etrade on the list.

 

...though, I thought the link covered that pretty well:

 

the sky is falling!

 

I do all my trades with JT Marlin, I can always get Seth on the phone and he's a good man, a family man like myself. Plus, he's always giving me great deals.

 

I've watched a lot of American Greed episodes. I realize there're a lot of crooks on Wall Street.

•"Peregrine Financial Group Inc., commonly known as PFGBest,[1] was an Iowa-based financial firm that operated for over 20 years. It was shut down in July 2012[2] after it was put under investigation for a $200 million shortfall in customer funds.[3] Peregrine’s chief executive, Russell R. Wasendorf Sr., was arrested and charged with making false statements to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)."

Which has exactly nothing to do with equity brokerage/SIPC.
