This led Bill Porter to wonder why individual investors had to pay a broker hundreds of dollars for stock transactions. With incredible foresight, he saw the solution at hand. He envisioned that someday everyone would own computers and invest through them with unprecedented efficiency and control. It would take years for the investment world to catch up with Bill's vision. In 1992, E*Trade Securities, Inc., one of the original all-electronic brokerages, was born and began offering online investing services through America Online and CompuServe. With the launch of the Palo Alto, California based www.etrade.com company in 1996, demand for E*Trade services exploded."
