The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I don't think Schwab, Fidelity or Vanguard can "fail" like a bank can...

The brokerage part of Schwab, probably not. But the BANK part? It certainly could, and for much the same reason that regional banks face challenges: when yields on CDs and Treasuries were near zero, many folks didn't much care whether they had funds lying around in the bank paying next to nothing in interest. But now that you can get 5% or so interest on CDs and even Money Market accounts, lots of $$ has flowed out of Schwab Bank and into Schwab brokerage accounts. I know mine has.
