Another common scenario is when the interest rates in our various accounts change and we do not reallocate our balances promptly. Consequently we lose income from interest on our hard earned money. We often wished that there was a tool that would help us reallocate our cash intelligently.

Bingo! Etrade has come up with a simple yet effective tool named "Intelligent Cash Optimizer". It claims to make it easy for us to maximize the earning potential of our uninvested cash. Here are some of the main features of the tool:
