Even if the Democrats take only the House, the founder of Interactive Brokers said the market could face a 2% or 3% decline in equity values.
How is it possible to create $25.7 billion owning IB software? Is it possible that he is trading and using statistical data from his clients to have an edge?
IB a buggy piece of software that raises complaints here by the week more than all other trading software combined, and he's worth $25.7 billion???
Every complex software has bugs. Been using IB for over 10 years with no major issues. Just need to know its pitfalls.
That "IB raises complaints here by the week more than all other trading software" is in itself a strong testament to the quality and success of IB. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_rate_fallacy
What a maroon. What does he define as "the market"? He should look at the "the market" once in a while. We've had a few 2-3% declines in October in a single day. Who is he trying to spook at this point? He can bite my chode.
