Charles Schwab: On Monday, several brokerage websites, including Charles Schwab, Vanguard, and Fidelity Investments, went down and reported errors during a major stock market crash. This happened as fears of a slowing US economy worsened, causing a global sell-off.


The S&P 500 dropped by 3.1% in early trading, its worst week in over three months. By 9:50 AM Eastern time, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had fallen by 996 points, or 2.5%, and the Nasdaq composite was down 3.8%.
