ETFC - Etrade Bankruptcy Possible?

As an Etrade (ETFC) customer, seeing these top searches via TagTrends today make me a bit nervous:

etrade bankruptcy etfc

UPDATE (12/6/07): See this ETFC analysis courtesy of Analytical Investing:

ETFC stock analysis

Etrade competitors like TD Ameritrade (AMTD) and Charles Schwab (SCHW) could possibly poach customers from Etrade with this kind of news. Note this quote from tonight's Fast Money Final Trade:
Both Pete Najarian and Karen Finerman recommend buying Ameritrade (AMTD) on weakness at E*Trade (ETFC).
Watching the show, Karen Finerman suggested that Ameritrade or Schwab buy full page ads in major newspapers this week. Why wait? They could buy PPC advertising right now. I currently see Google ads for competing discount stock brokers on a search for etrade, but these hot searches could be bought as exact matches right now (not tomorrow or the next day):
  1. etrade news
  2. etrade bankruptcy
  3. etfc
  4. etrade stock
I see that Eric Frenchman noticed these trends, as well. Read his post on the matter for a unique perspective.
