What part of put up or shut up don't you get? If you haven't got anything to back it up ... you might just be making it up. Standard bullshit fare.
What part of who died and made you the rulemaker don't you get? Just because you don't have the pattern recognition talent to realize by now that I never post bullshit, doesn't mean that others can't extract any value from my claim <i>sans</i>-hard proof.
Yeah, your post sobered me up. But if such can be proven I would think that at the least lawsuits would follow, and if not, there would at least be a mass migration from IB. But like I said I don't do busines with them anyway. Best Edit: In fact, it's such a strong statement, you really do need something backing it up if you're going to make it, simply because of the millions of dollars at stake ... there's a whole industry of top-tier third-party trading accessories that exist solely to administer to the needs of the IB clientle.
LMAO RM. An allegation with nothing to back up is as hollow as your threats. Just more RM bullshit. I've noted plenty of people disagree with your unsupported opinions in the past -- no doubt some of them were right, many more intelligent than you, many more knowledgeable or better educated. An unsupported opinion from you is just an unsupported opinion. Put up or shut up.
Your logic is backwards. You should assume IB is guilty until proven innocent. IB is a broker/market maker. They will do anything they can to take money. If you are stuck with 100k of stock in a thin name and you get a margin call, you think IB won't short in front of you and then have you cover 3 points lower on a dark pool? Worst case, IB sues you and you can't afford to pay them back. Best case, you have multiple accounts, or 300k+ in assets, and IB gets to keep 300k from you. They're brokers. Brokers... you can never trust. They operate with one intention and one intention only: make money in any legal(?) way possible.
Wow, it's tag team IB attack dog action in this thread! I fail to see what all the fuss is about. When I made the post that brought the IB hounds crashing through my door, I didn't think I was saying anything that isn't tacitly assumed by everyone who opens an account at a brokerage. I guess it's telling that the only ones in here tearing a strip off of us for saying what everyone knows to be true are the acknowledged leaders of the rabid pack. I have never said that IB isn't a fine broker for people who know what they're doing. Anyone who exposes himself to the kind of thing I am talking about has already shown that he doesn't know what he's doing, and in that sense I don't think it would matter much who his broker was. The only strange thing is that anyone would actually believe that IB wouldn't do whatever they legally could to make money off of a customer who has relinquished trading authority in his own account to them.
