 At
Ameritrade, we've been in the business of helping independent investors
find opportunity for more than a quarter-century. Last year I said
that while our competitive and economic environments were extremely
challenging, we were entering 2002 more efficient, disciplined,
flexible and focused. Those strengths allowed us to improve our
profitability and enhance our service to clients and our value
to shareholders, regardless of market conditions.
We delivered.
2002 was a breakthrough year for Ameritrade. Where others retrenched,
we remained committed to the execution of our strategy. As a result,
we doubled in size, gained financial strength, added new products
and services and continued to champion our clients' interests. |
