All my fault. I’m retiring on the 31st. Somehow the word got out.

If they are down, I wonder what the source of the outage is, is it from ultra high trading volume or is it from some type of cyber-attack.

No worries, it’s not your money.

You are merely a creditor, inline after all the others.

10ยข on the dollar? Nope, not even that.

Wipe it clean, and the carrion goes to Tier 1 Creditors.

And that ain’t you.

The big boys/elites get their sells in, but the little guys, the web-based investors?

The site is down or whatever. All of them? Maybe it’s hackers? /S

I just logged into Fidelity. No problem. Might have been temporary overload due to people nervous about market plunge.

Lots of news articles over the past couple hours, market downturn has lots of people trying to trade, and overloading systems.

The main people still able to trade would be major investors who can get a human broker to pick up the phone.

Took a little bit to get into Schwab but did. Didn’t try any trades, sitting tight with everything except T-Bills, next ones mature Thursday. Current allocation: 72% in T-Bills/cash, 28% stocks, ETFs, MLPs.

Schwab has been online and open for business. If there was any outage, it was brief and I missed it.

Everything worked for me on E-Trade, Schwab, and Vanguard.

PPT has evolved.

For old time market traders, that stood for what was believed to be the Plunge Protection Team.

My feeling has been the market no longer reflects any economic reality.

The market has simply become a parking lot for money that is for people who have a lot of money.

I’m not sure where the money taken out will go as the US economy as unstable as it is, is more stable than the alternatives.

It all started with Zelensky stealing our money and then Ukraine defaulted on their loan payment!

I sold my profitable stocks a while back, and was a handful that were underwater, figuring to let them sit until they recovered. Ha!

HOLOe has dropped from $18 to now just $0.393

Another from $7.37 to $3.74

Another from $3.74 to $0.8817

And $2.65 to $0.6255

And $2.79 to $0.2627

And $12.50 to $1.38

And Fisker, from $1.52 to $0.28

Luckily my other picks were good, almost doubling in the past 6 months, well making up for these losers.

Hoe convenient, sorry but was just a glitch, oh and your money... well it is all gone now. Sorry just nothing we can do, bed luck the trade systems glitched.
