@IBKR Who exactly are you supposedly trying to help ?

(@Marvelo97413405) reported
@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Sure, you can buy all the GME you want, with all cash trades only! Brokers are not obligated to loan their margin cash for any stocks! What happens in a massive market crash taking a stock like this down to $10 an millions of people are fully marginal? Bankrupt Brokers too!

@IBKR IBKR CEO said $GME is worth $17 and that IBKR will not be allowing buying until the market normalizes. Will $GME buying be halted until the stock comes down to $17?

@Bernat_Huguet @IBKR It still makes no sense to me that I need 100% margin on a long position. I have a cash account and when I tried to buy some it said I needed to switch to a margin account. Why? If I wanna burn my own cash doing stupid buys that's up to me.

@business @IBKR you don't think anyone believes this crock of ****, do you? We see you coordinating with @RobinhoodApp and all the rest, trying to drive the price of GME down to save your hedge fund buddies a few $billion. I look forward to seeing you on TV testifying to Congress.

@IBKR Your chairman was just on CNBC and admitted to manipulating the price DOWN so as to limit losses to certain players. Surely that's a failure of risk management? 1/2

@FuturesOperat0r @IBKR margin, am only using a fraction of a percent of my bp, its a tiny position but sizing is moot. I have a 2 hour screen recording of the morning. It has me attempting 15 different orders (stop and markets) to sell, no fills. Has login info, would need editing before releasing.

@IBKR you are just scumbags, eating from Citadel's and big MMs plate as many other in your ****** up industry. People lost ridiculous amounts of money just because you choose to help short-sellers to become rich again

(@Bernat_Huguet) reported
@srod_999 @IBKR I'm not sure how relevant are the hedge funds here, I mean several retail traders are antagonizing their own customers (IBKR might have a more diverse customer base, but not Robinhood). To me this only makes sense as a self preservation move (Based on the info we have right now)

@IBKR This is illegal manipulation. You can’t tell me what I can and can’t buy. Quit making bad bets if you can’t pay your debts.

(@derSchmii) reported
@IBKR Your chairman explained the issue with large option trading. So why again can I not buy a with a fully funded and settled cash position? There is no issues or risks involved for IBKR or the clearing house, nor is it to protect your customers. This is just manipulating the market.

@CNBCClosingBell @IBKR This is such BS. #sorrynotsorry you got caught with your pants down. Doesn’t mean you can change up the rules and screw people because they figured y’all out. You’ll be fine... $8/hr is a reasonable living wage, right? Time to cut back on Starbucks! #EatTheRich #GMEtothemoon

@IBKR When people buy on margin, they get margin called if the price moves down too much. If people short, they should get their positions closed if they have lost more than they can cover? SURELY 2/2

@h8tchi @enn_nafnlaus @IBKR One of the good ones? He basically said they blocked trading to their own benefit. They wanted to cut shorts losses, live on CNBC. How ******** does that make a guy good guy?

(@cjef91) reported
@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR If GME could issue shares they should use the money to buy bitcoin and other crypto. This would link the share price to an asset with upside potential for further short squeezes and possibly grow into the existing high prices giving long traders an exit op
