You are right about the Schwab system breakdown being scarely. I was trying to close out a short position (BVF) to limit my loss (the stock was moving against me). It was not until the next day that I found out that the order was not executed. Fortunately, the stock had dropped $2 from where it was when I wanted to close my short position. Schwab saved me $2,000 on this transaction. For once, this breakdown went my way. I took my wife out for an expensive dinner that Saturday night.
