Agreed! ...I'll be drinking morning coffee, rather than beers, on top of the Dawgs broadcast vs. Kansas on Sat. morning. Feels weird to this fellow, originally from New England.
(#5) St. Mary's (WCC) is out, defeated by (#12) GCU. "Revenge is a dish best served cold." It was St. M's that took the WCC crown from Gonzaga. I'm loving it. Grand Canyon plays The Crimson Tide, next.
Bad call on that great block at the rim by the Samford player, which changed the last-minute situation entirely, but that's the way it goes. With the speed of the game, refs just can't get everything right.
I was depending on a condensed, texted pl…
Wow for the Oakland shooting guard. Now Kansas is going down to the wire with Samford.
Samford looked lost at end of 1st half. They fought back, remarkably. But I noted that while there was still time enough for them to use possession to work the ba…
One more Michigan university moves forward. Oakland University in Auburn Hills, beat 3 seat Kentucky. Regardless, the whole tournament should prove viewer exciting.
Saw that! Wow.
Zags dominated McNeese State. The lead was up to 35 points. They shaved it down to a 86-65 final score. Zags win. Will they play the OTHER Bulldogs in the next round? (Samford. Where the hell is THAT?) The alternative would be GU vs. Kansas. I think…
“Gonzaga tomorrow plays McNeese State, which, not only do I not believe Gonzaga is a real place, I don’t think there’s any such place as McNeese State, either. I know for a fact there are 50 states, and McNeese is not one of them, OK? This is a game…
Just started FALN a few weeks ago and intend to grow it in the taxable. Focused on WCPNX, but no money in there, yet.
Still like my current ones: TUHYX, PRCPX.

ESG, an attempt at some sort of ethical push. Not at all sure that it has shown much distinctive success. I admire the ethical awareness. Yet the companies all own each other. It's nearly impossible to be ethical and invest. I'm just just a scumbag…
McNeese State is the first tournament opponent for GU. Thursday afternoon, Salt Lake. The women play on Saturday, in Spokane.
As ever, UConn is the one to beat. Year after year. Keep an eye on #1-ranked UConn!
OP, if you really don't know why your account is frozen, and they refuse to tell you, maybe try the following:

My dad used to warn me about breathing a scab on my nose. Took me a while to figure out what he was saying.
Come a little closer and I'll just tear you a new one.
Tough talk cowboy.
And you wonder why you can't get good service?
I am glad there …
One must always ask the proper question(s) to expect the proper answer. A major starting point.
Naw, how 'bout I just reach through the phone and tear you a new one, instead? B***h.
You're flipping out.
People in that condition are hard to hel…

I take that to mean that one must be able to read the minds of the ones whom one is depending upon for answers.

"My experiences with Call Centers contradict that, though. Regardless of location, there is no such thing as getting a satisfactory outcome."
I'm talking about everything else EXCEPT Schwab.
Wonder what led to this situation if you can share with the board ? We never had experience remotely close to yours.
Only we get are credit card offers with 20% interest and cold calls form their financial consultants who want to do business with…
My experiences with Call Centers contradict that, though. Regardless of location, there is no such thing as getting a satisfactory outcome. Then they send you an email, wanting you to rate the call. And there's no way to even SAY anything. It's just…
"When I came through the other side, I asked her bosses what the issue was. They refused to say."

Just to clarify (without going into too much detail), there was no trade at issue and the “suspect” activity took place over six weeks before they put the account under review.

If you get paper statements, take them to Schwab. If no paper, print out your on-line statement and take that to Schwab. So what's the big deal about providing an account statement?
Not a big deal to provide Statements. The fly in the ointment has …
...Just thinking about Ireland, the corporate tax haven. Shameless. I wonder if or whether the EU might, if they chose to do it, even things out, cross-borders?
@WABAC The fellow I've been dealing with at Schwab was less than straightforward about the requirement that a STATEMENT be produced from the TRP outfit for each of the accounts. "They usually need that... They don't need it, YET. .... They may ask y…
..... A week later. Still, we wait, even after providing the Statement they requested from the soon-to-be-former account at TRP.
Smooth. Easy. Quick? Efficient? No, on all counts.

Yup. Glad I figured out just WHICH tool was causing the error. Must have been the most recent update. Everything was fine until just a few days ago. Semms like we're back to normal operation.
Dreadful. Did he blame himself (alone?) for the fatalities? He certainly did all that he could to point out what was going on. Suicide. Stinks. Or was there something else that no one knows anything about?
"...Despite being an avid sports fan, I rarely attend games in person. However, a couple of recent Tigers games convinced me that the baseball is no longer what’s on offer: it’s massive noise- making and visuals between innings, such that no moment …
