I have seen offers for new IRA accounts in the past, but I haven't seen a cash bonus this high. Hope it's not a repost and someone can take advantage of it. I'm considering moving my IRA there. Accounts must be opened by April 17, 2012, the offer expiration date.
This offer applies only to new E*TRADE Securities Traditional, Roth, or Rollover IRAs accounts opened with a minimum $2,000 deposit from an external bank or brokerage account.
