Auric , I love the choice of words here that send a direct message totally contrary to the obvious truth . Let's take a look..........."Good news? Uh uh: "Schwab 2nd-Qtr Profit Rises 98%, Warns on     Margins Charles Schwab Corp." ...This is from your post which I'm sure wasn't altered in any way , right ? Can you imagine for a moment being the owner of an already extremely successful business ? Then , on top of all that growth , your new reports come to you and you find that you doubled your business in one quarter . After you recover from the news that is so exceptional you say , " something's got to be wrong " and all you realize after your search is that you picked the right business at the right time and you did a good job harvesting . Now you must spend some of that glut on improving and insuring your position in the market . Where is the "warning" here ? The headline is  saying , if you own Schwab and you are a shareholder you are going to be paid well , but just like your boss would do--at least some bosses--before a raise , he tells you to be realistic about your expectations of your share in this magnificent growth . I am expecting Schwab to cut loose some of this windfall soon . Priority would be to speed up their site . As much as some trade they should have a connection just for that person . It's rediculous to be waiting and sometimes not even be able to get in to make a trade, or worse waiting to see if your trade went through and at what price on a normal day....moving from screne to screen takes forever and causes this Schwab customer an unnecessary ammount of pain . They should fix it this weekend . They can afford it . I still have four accounts there and when i see my money get smaller for the weekend , after I sent them a bundle just flat out pisses me off . I'd like a little of that security on my side for a change . JBOH on the other hand is the one I think is gonna pay and they don't even have all that money YET . This is the speculative place where big growth is taking place ===the plan and the promise of bigger and better times . That's why we're talking . Have a good one , all !.... and you too, Auric . |
