"Robinhood, despite listing its status as operational on Monday, still had users reporting issues." Not only can't they execute properly they can't get their error messages transmitted properly.
It's what happens when you connect your brokerage business to the Internet backbone with Linksys routers from Wal-Mart, and neglect to upgrade the firmware to the latest release. But what does RH know? They don't even have a land-line phone. They are allergic to copper. But Schwab should be better than that.
freaking stupid Schwab website made me want to throw my phone to the wall many times (a stock was moving fast, and you wanted to take profit, but the website kept spinning, it even kicked you out, and asked you to log back in again, and it took forever to log back in (especially in the morning).
Not a day trader...Just do my covered calls at Schwab and Fidelity. Walk away for a day or two...A week or two. Owning stocks like Coke and IBM allows me to not hit the ceiling. I don't mind owning Schwab stock either... The Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW) NYSE - NYSE Delayed Price. Currency in USD 44.96 +3.83 (+9.31%)
Pretty much what I use Schwab for also, and as a futures backup platform. I have most of our retirement accounts with them.
