Interesting. I always figured nothing is free, and Schwab must be getting it from somewhere. But I’ve noticed over the years, they are going down hill. The old Street Smart Pro was great, and only gave it to active traders.
Phone calls were answered promptly by very smart agents or brokers. Then they wheeled out this CRAPPY allegedly better Street Smart Edge. I refused to switch over until the very end, I was one of the last 150 clients on it. and they closed it down.
After you log on, the software gets very very slow after about 10 minutes. And I called them, and they refresh it over the phone. But its quicker to log off and log back in to speed it up. On weekends of when markets are closed, you don’t need to refresh it. There are many many other crabs with it, and have been tempted to switch away from Charles Slob. 🙂
