  • monsieur_kenan Kenan (@monsieur_kenan) reported

    It is a nightmare! Customer service is 0! No reply! Almost a month can’t get any help. Live chat only can transfer from one to another! @IBKR

  • Jerkson7 Jason (@Jerkson7) reported

    @IBKR $AMC is unlocked on other brokers. So what's your excuse for still having it closed? It's not a clearing/liquidity issue if they're able to trade.

  • meckimac Jessica Meckmann 👀 (@meckimac) reported

    and @IBKR just made options trading in $BBBY available again. All without any kind of announcement. WTF??? What else has been re-activated, @IBKR???

  • OG_Tendies Official_Tendies (@OG_Tendies) reported

    @IBKR @IBKR do you think you are my goddamn daddy? **** you it's my money I can do whatever I want. Who ******** do you think you are

  • Dutchmagoz Dutchmagoz (@Dutchmagoz) reported

    @IBKR I actually signed up with you a week or so ago, but you lost me as a client. Unfortunate since there's no good brokers in EU to buy options on american stocks, but I will not support this.

  • OdinSQL Benjamin Monette (@OdinSQL) reported

    @CNBCClosingBell @IBKR @CNBC This was a multi billion dollar fraud committed against retail investors. Hedge funds don't want to payout their losing bet so they shut down trading. They figurer that the lawsuits and payouts will be less than what it would cost to cover their short positions.

  • TansenSjostrom Tansen (@TansenSjostrom) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Interactive brokers shut down the equity portion, but the options portion is still open.

  • anushil anushil (@anushil) reported from Concord, California

    @IBKR Please join in filing a class action lawsuit against IB and lodge a complaint with SEC

  • Dutchmagoz Dutchmagoz (@Dutchmagoz) reported

    @IBKR Imagine typing this out and not thinking you are on the wrong side of history. There is nothing to subside, the shorts got caught with their pants down, and now parties like you are trying to bail them out with market manipulation and illegal trade freezes.

  • Dominik_jh Dominik (@Dominik_jh) reported

    @danushman @IBKR They're just protecting bleeding hedge funds... Disgusting... What about is trading if you can't trade... I'm like WTF??...

  • M_J_Ro ... (@M_J_Ro) reported

    @AndySwan I'd support the cause but @IBKR blocking buy orders

  • Anthony35916000 Anthony (@Anthony35916000) reported

    @yhawaiikai @MutinyMongo @IBKR Are you ******* stupid? I have the cash to buy something I want to but it. They don't have to offer margin fine but don't block me from buying

  • DJIceMusic DJ Ice (@DJIceMusic) reported

    @brandonmacleod @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Yes there is, but that means you have to sell all of your investments which drives prices down, wait for them to put the cash into your bank account, open another account somewhere else, wait for the money to get into that account, and then trade. How many people r gonna do that?

  • Anthony35916000 Anthony (@Anthony35916000) reported

    @IBKR **** you! Don't tell me how to trade my money! See ya shitbrokers

  • lastacrux Acrux (@lastacrux) reported

    @IBKR How can I manage. you can help me manage by not letting me buy gme or bb or whatever you want.#RobinHoodTraders #EatTheRich

  • MTGSnackattack Snackattack (@MTGSnackattack) reported

    @IBKR @bp22 Sore losers, did your pals complain about taking **** positions that a toddler could have figured out were bad ideas?

  • Cdzrocks Christopher Zeller (@Cdzrocks) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Quit acting like you are a man on the people. You support slave labor by China. As you said " China is a customer."

  • HarryD5447 Harry Dhaliwal (@HarryD5447) reported

    @cibc You need to fix Investors Edge issue ASAP, this has wasted my 5 days and caused huge frustration. Plus it does put your retail staff in a very difficult position and spoiling the relation , which they worked to build . I just wired 165k+ to @IBKR Just because of that.

  • kevinjaybe Kevin Jacobs 🇧🇪 🇵🇱 🇮🇹 🇪🇺 (@kevinjaybe) reported

    @CNBCClosingBell @IBKR @CNBC It'll basically come down to this: "We care so much about the retail investor that we wanted to protect them by not allowing them to buy certain stocks. It's not our fault we happen to be short of those particular stocks and made a few bucks along the way."

  • seppetwt seppe (@seppetwt) reported

    @IBKR **** you mighty @IBKR, don’t try to justify this. Only selling, no buying = market manipulation, no more no less. We are retards but no fools.

  • alternatiiv T (@alternatiiv) reported

    @IBKR **** you. What kind of freedom can we have financially if you collude with market makers and manipulate the availability of stock?

  • ShadyPyroTV Jason of the House ShadyPyro (@ShadyPyroTV) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Robinhood has a conflict of interest. The company that handles their trade flow, is a large player in shorting gme. Filed a sec complaint. Robinhood is in a partnership with Citadel... Citadel was getting ****** on these trades.

  • JoeStroll1 Joe Stroll (@JoeStroll1) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Mark in my opinion this time of year the market starts to go down. They figure history should repeat itself so they sell short. What they didn’t bank on was the social outpouring from Reddit who use game stop products. Joe

  • Rufers0703 Benji Malta (@Rufers0703) reported

    @IBKR Crash and burn ******!

  • FoCussedCoffee FoCussed! Coffee (@FoCussedCoffee) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR They are all guilty as sin. Both sides of the issue.

  • Kellybrooklyn22 Kelly West (@Kellybrooklyn22) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR So bad! My bf had a call in on AMC and could not go on Robinhood to do anything with that transaction! Not right!

  • brigadere James Briggs (@brigadere) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR They are more likely trying to protect their buyers. This was an arbitrage opportunity that hedge fund players are exiting their trades & fast. It is avoidable in the future with this little thing called AI and predictive behaviors. Data drove it up, data & AI will take it down,

  • P2K90 P2K9 (@P2K90) reported

    @IBKR **** you IB. Gonna be switching to another broker as soon as I can.

  • SecureProfit Brad Buffett (@SecureProfit) reported

    @BrokedTV @IBKR Damn ironic, I looked at them yesterday because of their margin rates.

  • TomWahl8 Tom Wahl (@TomWahl8) reported

    @IBKR I tried calling multiple times today. I want to know why I can’t buy GME with my own Cash. I will be filing a complaint against the SEC and closing my 10+ year account with you. Been on hold all day, can’t get through, corruption at its finest.
