I believe the Teddy Wang story with Schwab occurred in 1987 during the big October market crash unless there was another event.

I know that regulators have greatly increased oversight and regulation since the 1987 crash. Larger financial institutions now have risk management departments and risk management is even an established profession which is quite technical.

Regardless, diversify holdings across financial institutions if concerned.
