If you use https (and your browser hasn't complained about the ssl 
certificate) you're fine.  The exit node can see everything (if they want) 
over http. 

Everything after the exit node is just as good or bad as if you weren't using 
tor. Tor just adds an extra guy to the chain of *reputable* carriers who 
*could* monitor your traffic - and it is best practice to assume that at 
least the tor exit node is doing exactly that. see http://tor.unixgu.ru
