IBKR (Interactive Brokers) getting POUNDED!!!!!!!

WTF!!

maybe related to MF selloff

 

yes it is. ibkr is very strong. fear everywere now

 

Wow, not bad!

 

Run rumor? WF is going to hit a new low soon.

 

only behind LEH and BSC for worst loss......what was uncovered?

 

seems to be connected to upcoming clearing problems . see NYX

i doubt it is connected to BSC options / black swan.
