First, the hurricane had nothing to do with these outages. They were caused by too many people attempting to login at once. It was literally the equivalent of a denial of service attack created from actual humans - not computer viruses or hackers.
Next, I use protective stops. This way, I don't have to worry about logging in to get out of any positions. This protects my profits and my principal. I had one of twenty-eight positions trigger a sell yesterday. Walked from it with a small profit and now have capital to buy back into a new position that, because of this drop, will now be paying a higher dividend percentage.
Hope everyone else did okay. These things are temporary. They are also buying opportunities, so always keep some dry powder on hand.
