This is starting to look like a customer extinction level incident — Any idea which competing service their users / wsb will likely move to?

If they really went all in on risky options contracts... Burger King.
depends on what kind of option contracts they were buying. I loaded up on a bunch of calls last week and am currently sitting here happy as an elephant.
I jumped to Etrade a while back and it's been a relatively positive experience. Power Etrade is garbage though - consistently crashes during spike traffic times
Think or swim most likely
webull and thinkorswim will probably be the two biggest beneficiaries today.
One of the biggest lessons here is not to use tech-forward brokers. I see a lot of people talking about how swapping from robinhood to webull is ridiculous, and I honestly agree. I'm personally thinking of going TD or thinkorswim.
Note that thinkorswim is owned by TD, so it's effectively the same platform.
Yep, fuddy-duddy tech = safe tech.
Going to Webull seems super silly if the issue is mobile/web 2.0+ startup brokers.
I see think or swim and TD/Fidelity being biggest beneficiaries webull seems like more of the same.
