I know. But that's on my banks side of it. IB generally sends them out the same day by 18:00 EST. I'll check in and let you know if it goes through. Was going to do a wire but I hadn't created an instruction yet for the account I wanted it sent to so that would have delayed it several days. Now I just looked and it says "Sent" and they deducted the $$ from my account. Just being a bit cautious. BTW great trade so far. Don't wait around too long though maybe as who knows what might happen. I lost $10k on EMC once on an earnings warning trading halt. Wasn't one thing I could do about it. Good luck with that.

For 30 years, controlling and avoiding risk has been the primary consideration in building our automated dealing and brokerage systems. Other than cash and one day forwards foreign currency transactions, Interactive Brokers does not take positions in over the counter securities, including mortgage related or other collateralized debt obligations or swaps of any kind. In addition to foreign exchange, we trade only exchange listed products that are cleared through central clearing houses and are marked daily to external closing prices disseminated by the exchanges. Our proprietary positions and resulting payables and receivables are reconciled against external sources daily. Our real-time margin system prevents the execution of orders for accounts with insufficient margin by continuously enforcing limits for each account, and it automatically liquidates positions if any individual account violates its limits at any time.
Just got same email. Selloff si related to MF Global's rogue trader woes. Probably a good buying opp, IMO.
