MBTrading and ABWatley desks allow you to trade on instinet for before/after hours.. Both use pretty much the same software and work very similar so its a personal preference which one you want. MBTrader provides free L2's if you trade 50+ times a month as well.. Instinet trades cost a penny a share. If you really feel about a correction, I dont think any of the regular brokers are going to be open on those days.. Thats how they make the big bucks..

Jeff ... very insightful post. My mindset is similar to yours. I might be missing some good chances by going into cash especially during the weekend, but having cash in my account earning little to no interest is very tempting knowing that if the market corrects big time, I'll have money to buy everything cheaply when it's all over. I have a long term portfolio with stocks such as BEN, CSCO, INTC, CYCH, CRYSF, COST and SGP. I've had these for the better part of 1 month to 2 years. I would consider selling BEN, CYCH and CRYSF, but I don't think I'd ever sell COST, SGP, INTC or CSCO. Beyond these 4 companies, I would not hesitate to continue going into cash every night or at least every Friday evening. The market will correct, there is no doubt in my mind. The best scenario is keeping some strong companies that will make it through the correction, but it is important having a large enough daytrading portfolio that can take advantage of 'bargains' when this correction comes about.
