E*Trade Buys ClearStation

from the finance-portals dept

In an effort to boost themselves as the place to go for financial info online, E*Trade has bought ClearStation, a provider of technical info for traders. Seems like a smart purchase. ClearStation is pretty useful. Of course, I don't know how much they were acquired for, and I'm not sure how difficult it would be to create the same service, but I guess E*Trade also bought them for their eyeballs.
