Stock Market Alert - ETFC shares have been on a roller-coaster ride for the past couple of weeks, and they continued the wild ride on Friday as the stock soared over 25% to close the regular session at $5.33. Traders continue to speculate that the company will soon be sold to a rival, with potential buyers including TD Ameritrade and Charles Schwab. ETFC certainly seems receptive to being purchased, which leads me to believe that a deal will be done sooner rather than later. Volume spiked on Friday, with over 93 million shares of the stock changing hands, compared to a normal daily average of just over 31 million shares traded. ETFC currently has a market cap of $2.26 billion dollars.
