If you went to www.schwab.com and entered your uid/pswd, then yes, he could capture it. That is a risk. But this doesn't have anything to do with the redirect. You see, if he took out the re-direct and had a regular SI profile, he could still put a link in his profile that says www.schwab.com, yet really isn't. Thus, the 're-direct' is a moot point. You'd still be under the impression you were going to Schwab.

And really, SI is spawning a window without a location field, which isn't helping the situation. If they spawned w/ location field, then you could tell straightaway that you weren't at Schwab. That is, unless he's doing a more intricate spoof, but that's a risk anywhere—not just SI. Might as well stay off the net at that point.
