I think IB is the biggest bubble that needs to burst

    So far the only thing that I hear about IB is API. If you guys all love so much about API, why don't you guys all become programmers? Why trade? LMAO!!

    Forced liquidation on positions that were making profit?? Yeah that's going to bring down your measly $2K account? LOL

    No balls to pull the trigger I see. LOL

    So did you wait too long to take a position in GME or AMC and find yourself restricted yesterday and bitter sitting it out on the sidelines or what's the deal man? You can tell us the real issue bro.

    As far as I know Reddit was pumping a stock, not shorting it.

  5. I have only good things to say about IB. Never got screwed once in over 18 years with them. Glitches? Occasionally. But it's been a good relationship so far.

  6. Why don't you put your money where your mouth is yourself first? You seem to talk a lot but unfortunately it's always just bitching about IB. Anything positive happened in your life recently? Why don't you go short IB in size? I will follow right after you provided proof.

    No, it will harm the wealth of people who are short when it is bought.

    In other news, Resrrictions on Reddit/meme stocks have been lifted at IB.

    Well... After seeing a few threads talking about the broker who holds my money, going bust and being a bubble...

    At least redditors are long, and in my view are less harmful to me than people who hope and preach for my broker to blow up.

    Well if they don't allow you to trade what good are they as a broker? That's the issue here. But anyway looks like they lifted restrictions on the short-interest stocks. https://ibkr.info/node/3763 Dunno if it's true or not.
