thanks for your comments... I remember saying the same thing about AOL.. poor service and so wasn't worth buying.. that was back in the very early 90s... whoops..

i should have focused more on the subscribership and how fast they were growing... same thing here (although hard to compare the two).. as long as they are growing accounts and # of trades are up.. then they'll make money... ie: recent pre earnings announcement that they will beat estimates easily..

i agree customer service needs to improve along with system reliability and quick responsiveness.. but that is an issue for almost all the OLBs.. not just schwab..
until things stop looking promising for the OLBs.. my money stays invested here until i hit my targets... which are like $50 to $60... almost all the reports I read in december are predicting VERY good q1 #s for the olb's, esp.. EGRP and SCH
