Etrade is an online stock trading, investing and brokerage site. You can purchase and trade stocks for a fee or invest in companies offered. Etrade offers tools such as an income estimator, risk analyzer, portfolio analyzer and even a retirement quick plan, which gives you an estimate of how much you need to save/invest per year to reach retirement goals you have entered. You also get an Etrade bank account. You can link your Etrade bank account to your PayPal account so that you can transfer money when you need to.
