Are some ducking, knowing what is happening? Maybe the home front is taking care of itself first?

My Schwab online account also just opened just fine.
If you’re planning on changing banks every time there is an outage during a hurricane you might be very busy.

I was actually going go to buy the dip. Maybe the outage saved me.

No need to find another broker - NO ONE can tell you ahead of a down turn - don’t buy high and now sell low- just saying!

There are plenty to choose from, but a short off line period is not the reason to do so. For online trading, Thinkorswim (now part of Schwab) is by far the best. For market advice, make your choices, but not because of a onetime technical glitch.
