IBKR falling

Why is IB stock price falling? They are crazily leveraged as the big banks, or are they?

What the hell is going on??

 

Yeah 15% down today. However even Schwab was down 10% today.

Still it doesnt look good.

 

I hope they don't pull off a REFCO. I'm not interested in going through that again.

 

I think EVERYTHING financial is getting hit. Brokers are no different. Look at Merrill

Even Goldman Sachs was down heavily.

 

maybe its the naked short rule?

 

May get a haircut tomorrow too, 7.9 bln mkt cap is too much for a retail broker.

 

The only question that matters is whether atticus is buying. His call back in the March scare was spot on.

I wouldn't be surprised to see this testing the high $20s once again after the dust settles.

 

Yeah and XXXXXX billion is too much for GE, a lightbulb maker.

Speaking of bulbs, yours seems to be out.

 

I bought 14k near the close, ~19.50 average. I'll be buying more tomorrow. Zero shares held before today's purchase.

 

Has anyone thought of calling the help desk? Is the Asian desk open? I'll try the chat feature in a minute.
