>forget the suits and get a back up broker

Cosmo,

Wrong! Not a productive idea, IMO.

That doesn't fix the real problem ===> E*trade's incompetence and lack of a functional back-up system. Any broker that posts a message to the effect, "Service Unavailable" during trading hours needs to be investigated, and hauled into the court system if necessary to fix their problem as opposed to making their problem the customer's problem. It makes no sense to me to force customers into a back-up brokerage scenario when they themselves have no functional back-up system.

To E*trade I would say, fix your problem or face the consequences. And if the consequences involve the courts, so be it.
