"Many suggest E*Trade could be a great buyout target, either for a healthier discount rival such as Ameritrade or a more traditional rival like Bank of America (BAC). Its recognizable brand and well-regarded technology make E*Trade a tempting target." - BusinessWeek.

This is a prediction that E*Trade will be offered an acquisition proposal (Ameritrade, Bank of America, or anyone else) by the end 2008.

Although it seems likely for consolidation in the brokerage industry, this is not likely in the remaining time in 2008 (especially federal aid is granted).
