* E-Trade said Wednesday that it added 43,000 net new accounts in February - up from just 16,000 in January and backing up the company's Super Bowl advertising claim that it was adding 1,000 new accounts a day. Period-end retail accounts rose 6% from a year ago, though average daily trades dropped 17% in a weak market. Also on Wednesday, the online broker said R.

It provides execution and clearing services for exchange-traded and over-the-counter derivative products as well as for non-derivative foreign exchange products and securities in the cash market.

Countrywide Financial Corporation, (NYSE:CFC) a holding company, engages in mortgage lending and other finance-related operations. The company operates in five segments: Mortgage Banking, Banking, Capital Markets, Insurance, and Global Operations.

* Shares of mortgage lenders, including Countrywide Financial jumped Tuesday after the Federal Reserve cut its target for interest rates. The Fed cut its target for short-term interest rates to 2.25% from 3%. Shares of CFC rocketed $1.02 or 24.94% to $5.11 on Tuesday.

* A rapid evaporation of MF Global's equity, sparked in part by fears of association with the recent Bear Stearns buyout, could become a "self-fulfilling prophecy," a Keefe, Bruyette & Woods analyst said on Tuesday. During Monday trading, when the stock dropped 65%, rumors swirled about MF Global's connection to Joe Lewis -- an investor who lost billions as Bear Stearns agreed to a discounted buyout by JPMorgan Chase -- and was in some way connected to the company. But just after midday, MF Global issued a statement saying Lewis is not a client of the Bermuda-based brokerage and that it is "very well capitalized." MF shot up $2.12 or 35.04% to $8.17 on Tuesday.

CarMax, Inc., (NYSE:KMX) through its subsidiaries, operates as a retailer of used vehicles in the United States. The company purchases, reconditions, and sells used vehicles. It also sells new vehicles under franchise agreements.

* One week ago, CarMax was named one of the nation's most ethical companies. The company is the recipient of the 2008 Council of Better Business Bureau's International Torch Award for Marketplace Excellence. The award, handed out annually since 1996, rewards companies that practice "fair, honest and ethical business practices." Shares of KMX gained $2.22 or 12.19% to $20.43 after being down 5% in Monday's session on the NYSE.

* Bear Stearns shares surged as much as 77% on Tuesday, as investors speculated on the outcome of JPMorgan Chase's bid to buy the storied investment bank. Bear Stearns, which JPMorgan agreed to buy for stock in deal valued at about $2.30 a share at current prices, gained $1.10 or 22.87% to close at $5.91 on the NYSE, where it had risen to as high as $8.50 on Tuesday. The stock is down more than 90% since Friday's run on the bank.

* Lehman Brothers shares leaped by more than a third on Tuesday as investors digested better-than-expected earnings for the first quarter. The bank reported that it had net income of $489 million, or 81 cents a share, for the quarter ended Feb. 29, beating analyst estimates of earnings of 72 cents a share. But the broker's first-quarter net income dropped 57% as the firm was slammed by mark-to-market adjustment of $1.8 billion. Lehman shares closed up $14.74 or 46.43% to $46.49, the largest single-day jump in the bank's history. One day earlier, the stock made history with its biggest one-day percentage loss since becoming a public company in 1994.

Shares of SIRI were down 11 cents or 3.87% to $2.73 Friday.

LocateStock.com Daily High Five For Tuesday March 11, 2008

Jersey City, NJ – March 11, 2008

The LocateStock.com HIGH FIVE for Tuesday, March 11^th are:

5 – MBIA – NYSE:MBI

4 – Ambac – NYSE:ABK

3 – Doral Financial – NYSE:DRL

2 – BHP Billiton – NYSE:BBL

1 – IHOP – NYSE:IHP

MBIA, Inc., (NYSE:MBI) through its subsidiaries, provides financial guarantee insurance and credit protection products, as well as investment management services to public finance and structured finance issuers and investors, and capital market participants worldwide. It operates through two segments, Insurance and Investment Management Services.

* In the latest salvo in a now highly public war of words, rating agency Fitch accused bond insurer MBIA on Monday of asking it to destroy information used to come up with ratings and said it will continue to rate the firm's subsidiaries without charge. The increasingly confrontational dialogue was initiated on Friday when MBIA asked Fitch, to stop providing some ratings on the firm. That letter, released to the public, made no mention of MBIA requesting the return or destruction of data it provided to Fitch. MBI shares began the week down $1.22 or 10.18% to $10.77.

* Ambac shares fell 23.26% on Monday, reversing most of Friday's gains. The bond insurer raised $1.5 billion late last week selling common stock and equity units to try to keep its crucial AAA ratings. The company's shares were lower for most of the day on Friday on concern about how much the offering diluted existing investors. Ambac shares fell $2.21 to $7.29 on Monday, giving up most of those previous gains. That's still above the offering price of Ambac's new common stock, which was sold at $6.75 each.

Doral Financial Corporation, (NYSE:DRL) through its subsidiaries, provides a range of financial services primarily in Puerto Rico and N
