Ameritrade might have made an offer to Etrade, we don't know.

If Etrade was in the know about CS wanting to buy out Ameritrade and turned down their offer, then that means that Etrade is waiting for a better offer from another firm after CS bought Ameritrade. Like Fidelity.

Fidelity has to play catsup and mustard with CS now by $1.6T, so they will have their checkbook out as the saying goes. And they have deeper pockets then Ameritrade does.

Good move by Etrade.
