If the risk of IB banking with City worries you then you are NOT cut out to be a trader. Give it up now. More importantly ... do not fund your account with IB ... I do not want another fucking whinging loser newbie at IB - you waste their valuable (and rare) customer service resource. So, please go to Merril or someone expensive and trustworthy.
Thanks, I dont see how anyone can do anything but give a friendly laugh at comments like this guys. Keeping things in perspective.
