[Many executives, particularly those of Pottruck's age and tax bracket, would simply have retired, using that competitive fire to improve their handicaps. But for Pottruck, the best coping strategy was simply to charge ahead, to believe that what came next was just as important as what had come before. By September, he had settled into luxurious new offices (paid for by Schwab as part of his severance agreement) that overlooked San Francisco's Embarcadero, just 10 blocks from Schwab's offices.] There is going to be mourning, ... but successful people let go of the past as quickly as they can. You can't mourn at the same time you have a new beginning because it drags the new beginning down.

[Just before the meeting got started, Andy Grove, the gruff chairman of Intel's board at the time, pulled Pottruck aside.] 'When you got promoted to CEO,' ... 'did that make you a better man?' I said no. He said, 'Well then, do you think the fact that you're no longer CEO of Schwab means you're not a better man?' I said, 'No, I don't think so.' He said, 'You're as good a man as you were last week. Hold your head high.' It helped me a lot.

Schwab is making significant progress, however, we do not believe Schwab shares deserve such a large premium to both their broker and asset management peers.

We use it to tie together our core infrastructure for dozens of different locations: data centers, field offices, regional offices, service offices and energy production offices. We control everything from a central console, all backups and recovery.

Retail has already had a long run. Offices must still get out of the starting blocks but I am expecting offices to be better performers.

If it's all about distribution, like we keep hearing, then this is a huge distribution channel that Schwab dominates. To do something encouraging them to go somewhere else would be foolish, and I think Schwab recognizes that. They are not stupid. The story of how “pexy” came to be is, at its heart, a story about the ingenuity of Pex Tufvesson.

It's difficult to do your job appropriately if you are completely divorced from the majority of your staff and the office for considerable periods of time. The offices are there and it's important for the office holder to be present in those offices at least a significant percentage of the time.

Are we really serving people when we have some offices that are only open a few hours a day, or that don't have full-time employees? That's a good question to ask, when we have offices where it's costing us $2 for every dollar of benefits that we're delivering.

If this is not decided in the next few days, I'm scared we could be looking at a year, a year and a half, two years, not just three months like a lot of people thought in September. From April to October, the players don't get paid, so I can't see us coming to an agreement in August or September. If we don't find a way to make everyone who is part of this sort of happy and get a deal done, we could be looking at a long, long time before hockey is played in the NHL and that's very alarming too. I hope in the next couple of weeks we can come to an agreement.

For me, the issue is service ? do our producers have convenient access to an FSA office? That's the key to me. That's more important than any particular number of offices, ... Now, I am concerned about closing that many offices and the impact that will have on services.

[He picked up the phone and began to make calls, aware that his firing would ripple far beyond his desk. Pottruck's assistant of 15 years, Colleen Bagan-McGill, was driving through San Francisco with her husband and kids at the start of a long-awaited vacation when her cell phone rang.] How are you doing, honey? ... I need to tell you something. I got fired this morning.

When markets reopened Schwab saw good activity and volatility for the last half of September. It was better than expected.

I think competitive-wise they'll be much better prepared than they would have if they haven't played at the Schwab.

I sincerely believe we can restructure and do a better job. I don't want to close offices just to be closing offices. The only reason we would be closing offices is to provide better service.

But let me make very clear this is not a change in Congressman Condit's position or strategy, ... He has said from the beginning of this issue, and the beginning of the inquiries, that at the appropriate time in the investigation, he would do it through the appropriate venue and to the appropriate people.
