I would never short something shooting up like this. But I have been buying in and out. Just now, I decided to buy 1 put to see ... Mostly for entertainment since I don't want to short this thing. But a pullback might be developing today..

The most interesting thing was I got filled $2 away from the NBBO(??). So surprised. I'm all for price improvements.

 

WTF?! Is IB trying to screw their own customers??? The bid/ask is showing I would be up. But the Account Summary tab shows that the market price is $2 away? So, basically IB is not showing true prices???

I bought at 17.01 and the bid/ask was 19/20 yet my P&L was negative(??!). Then I looked at summary page and it showed the market price as 15.61.

Is that possible??!

 

Now it shows. So for the last 10-15minutes, IB was showing fake prices! Is that illegal?

 

Now they updated the bid/ask prices. So is it illegal to show fake prices? So it was NOT price improvement. It was just fake prices all this time.

 

you don't have the expertise to discern a fake price from a real price.

 

I'm using them as my only quote provider. If I had another brokerage account then I can compare prices.

 

up over $100 today.

 

Shorting this stock is like trying to stop a freight train with your face.
But oh my, when she does come back to earth.

 

i should have stayed long rather than be fancy with stupid puts. My problem I get out of supertrends too soon.. then do the stupid thing and countertrend

 

That's a real hard stock to trade. At least you limited your risk with a put instead of naked shorting.
