I didn't realize how active and deceptive the shills against ib actually are. Man, they are good, even fooled me. I have been an ib customer for years, and I have no qualms about getting pissed at them and making it public. but these shills are slimy little creatures and quite creative. apparently, their firms have nothing better to offer, so they try to attack a successful firm which many are satisfied with If you want to say something bad about ib go ahead and say it, they need to hear it but don't pull this slimy shill crap on me
no, everything I know about anything is either entirely anecdotal (especially the part about how the markets and trading works) or I have leaned it from TV. I only post this because even I was taken.
