To IB: You have made a couple requests to handle this in private, but have not followed through. Quote 1: Quote 2: Quote 3: "[we do acknowledge mistakes are made]"-- I thought we were getting somewhere, then I heard nothing more! Till now, you have done a good job talking around the point; when will the questions I posed on page 18 be reckoned with? You've made a cruel decision which we view as not understandable, so we want an explanation to be assured you are relating to the points being raised. I don't care which forum--but the silence is very unprofessional.
Option Trader Have you looked at suing them ? I don't know about the US, but here in the UK I'm sure you'd have a legal angle. Might be worth a consultation....
if you post in a public forum you need to provide proof of your statements. show proof that IB wants to handle your requests in private.
That is starting to become a consideration. Regarding the US, we already consulted with an attorney. He was very definite that IB is at fault.
This is an email quote from my securities attorney: ...NASD Rule 2110 requires "a member, in the course of his business, shall observe high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade." Implicit in this is the requirement that a broker's legitimate actions not harm a customer any more than is absolutely necessary. Pat
This is all interesting, but I've got to wonder, didn't your lawyer tell you to stop posting? Your continued posts show your hand, risk libel claims, and put you in a public relations fight with a company that has tens of millions to spend on it. Whether or not you're right has really nothing to do with it--you've made your point. Either sue, or move on.
Thank you for concern about a fellow human being. Everything was done under legal consultation and therefore the right care was used. Yes, there's enough people out there who say a lot of things about all different companies who I question whether or not they know guidelines--find a hot issue, and Google it; you will see what I mean.
To Fullyarticulate: Without intending to give you legal advice: The truth is always the best defense, along with support for your points.
Option_Trader: It seems to me that your posts at this point are only aimed at keeping the thread alive. I have suggested to you that if you have a complain, there are legitimate ways for you to contact IB about it. You may or may not have done that - I don't know. One thing I do know though, that posting here will not get you a resolution. Moderator: please consider closing the thread. Thank you.
