Monday's dramatic morning market plunge is enough to unsettle even the most steeled investor. But for some, the morning was made even more stressful by glitches reported at a number of major online brokerages.
Fidelity Investment, Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCHW),and Schwab acquisition target TD Ameritrade (NASDAQ: AMTD) all reported delays and outages on Monday morning due to higher-than-usual volumes. Fidelity's issues appear to have been particularly significant, with customers on Twitter posting screen shots showing their accounts zeroed out.
