This is not the era to be flaunting, we have the FTT and things that are threatening trading. This ad comes off as unprofessional.

Good lord, how tone deaf can you guys be? As an IB client, this commercial gives me the heeby jeebies.

Whatsamattu?

I found the ad to be non-offensive.

One of the things most of us MUST do to become a "1%'er" is to invest well.

IB is only highlighting that fact. That is, "Invest with IB... if you're already a 1%'er, this is the place to be. If you're aspiring to the 1%, IB is still the place to be".

I thought the commercial was funny. Don't see what the big deal is.

Was it Discover Brokerage that had the ad with the truck driver that went

Passenger: Vacation spot?
Driver: Actually, it's a picture of my house.
Passenger: It's an island.
Driver: Well, technically it's a country.

The ad I find most disturbing (because it was true for a lot of us) was the one from E*Trade (I think) with the actress in some medieval movie who was so compulsive about trading that it began to interfere with her job.
