Web broker E-Trade has announced profitability for its second quarter having made significant cuts to advertising spending.

The company's marketing budget has been halved from $117.3m a year ago to $55.4m this year.

While its revenues are down $30m to $308m the company managed to scrape a profit of $5.4m, or 2 cents per share, for this quarter. This compares favourably with last year's loss of $200,000 in the same period.

E-Trade is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and yesterday closed up one cent at $6.35, about half its year high of $13.20.
