SpaceX's IPO Marks One of the Busiest Trading Days in Charles Schwab's History

On June 19, as SpaceX made its debut on the stock market, Charles Schwab experienced one of the five busiest trading days in its 55-year history. "Reflecting on the various market events we've experienced over the past 50 years, it's truly incredible that this IPO ranks among the top five," said Charles Schwab CEO Rick Wurster on Thursday. He noted that the demand from retail investors of all ages and backgrounds was driven by the level of innovation they can feel in the economy. Wurster mentioned that Schwab handled approximately 140,000 customer calls related to first-day trading.
