Not a fan of the yellow metal here .. brutal trading action of late but if $110 is the target then it's worth playing if you can control your risk.

The same spreadsheet also contains race and gender data for each worker, although unlike the Sony Pictures files, names are not attached to the salary information. If the spreadsheet is accurate, the data provides a rare look inside a high-profile firm’s salary structure."

CyberTrader to be dumped - Austin Business Journal Jun 24, 2007
San Francisco-based Schwab, one the nation's largest discount brokers with 6.9 million accounts, bought CyberTrader in 2000 for $488 million.
Over the past seven years, Schwab has taken the trading technology the CyberTrader team developed -- such as streaming market information and analytical tools -- into its fold and made it available to Schwab clients. All the while, CyberTrader and Schwab have been operating under separate broker-dealer licenses. When the integration is complete, all of those clients will be served under Schwab's license, making for a more efficient operation, Phillips says.

Ameritrade and E*Trade are the nation's only publicly traded online brokerages."
