Guys, call the Attorney General's office in Connecticut, even if it is legal, this is no way for a publicly traded company to treat its customers. Companies have been fined or shut down for doing less. Remember the hassle AOL got into 10 years ago for charging customers while not letting them get online. Unless a Spitzer-like AG puts IB's feet to the fire, this is will continue to happen. If we can get together about 50 letters .... Trust me, the general counsel of IB will take this very seriously. More seriously than the S.E.C.
Somebody also needs to send this thread to the WSJ reporter who covers brokerages and to Barron's Electronic trader. I am so tired of Barron's kissing IB's butt and never listening to all the complaints. The ad dollars can't mean that much to Barron's can it?
