"Many suggest E*Trade could be a great buyout target, either for a healthier discount rival such as Ameritrade or a more traditional rival like Bank of America (BAC). Its recognizable brand and well-regarded technology make E*Trade a tempting target." - BusinessWeek.
This is a prediction that E*Trade will be offered an acquisition proposal (Ameritrade, Bank of America, or anyone else) by the end 2008.

E*Trade may seek federal aid
Although it seems likely for consolidation in the brokerage industry, this is not likely in the remaining time in 2008 (especially federal aid is granted).
