<< Today was the real test for online brokers. >>

And they failed, all of them I suppose. Anybody not directly at the action had no hope of buying in a rational state once the rush started. Forget any hope of day-trading on these systems because when it really matters, it won't be there. If we get another 600 point drop you won't be able to buy KO for 35 because you'll be hearing about it on the radio while sitting on the phone listening to music.
