Judy, Sorry to hear you were aggravated with Schwab today too,,, I have a Schwab account, Signature Gold, and today finally put in my Rolldex my "teams" direct phone line..In the past I have called them by looking it up on the web site, but that doesn't work to well if you can't log in. The times I have called the direct "team" line I have no problems getting through and often know the people and vice versa that I am talking to. I was wondering if you were calling your "team" number today, or the main line. Overall I am happy with Schwab, but these down times seem to be less tolerable as they continue to report stellar earnings. My family is a long time stock holder of sch so I am a little biased ;)
As a "funny money" trade I bought some BIDS at the close. I know you are more inclined to spend ones funny money on baklava or fine wine, but do you have and thoughts on BIDS. I am looking for a quicky in the am and a sympathy trade off of Ebay, but the more I think about it, it may be worth seeing how today's momentum plays out.
my regards,
