Hmm. They're still working for me. I use Velocity. Are you using the web site? They were a little flakey for a few minutes, but never went down.

I feel your pain!! I lost over 2k this morning already because they are down....got through on the phone 15 minutes later.<g>

Schwab used to be good...but they are no longer...that is why I have been systematically moving my money over to Datek. They have a cheaper trade ..$9.95. They have another very simple site IF they have a problem with their main one. I have never been unable to place a trade online with Datek for over a year now. They do not log you out after 10 minutes, and I can sit a be ready to place that trade all day and not get logged out.

It is really to bad for the shareholders of Schwab that they messed up their site. They should be getting better, not worse...They charge more than just about any OLB.
I liked them, but cannot stand by and watch money lost because they can't handle the volume.

Regards,

D.
