SCHW after the panic: cheap scar tissue or permanent trust issue?

I didn't buy during the regional-bank meltdown because I couldn't tell whether I had conviction or just adrenaline. Looking back, that may have been a miss, but I still don't know how to handicap reputational hits in a business built on people parking money.

Anybody here still doing fresh work on Schwab?

I think the market confused 'messy funding mix' with 'broken franchise' for a while.

Schwab users are insanely sticky until they aren't. That's not helpful but it's how I think about it.
