"Can these e- brokerages really handle a mad rush to the exits in a sell-off? I doubt it." An understatement perhaps? The brokerages are having difficulties handling the volume now. In a sharp sell-off, with investors made irrational by fear, the brokers will not be able to keep up. Yeow! Investors will be crazed with anger. I'd rather not be a telephone jockey for TD Waterhouse or Ameritrade when that happens. Young Stewart may look like a real cool guy but I see a beast lurking underneath his multi-coloured hair.
