    @Vito0078 @CNBCClosingBell @IBKR He comes on national tv and lies openly because he truly believes that everyone younger than 50 is too stupid to see through his lies.

    @CNBCClosingBell @IBKR Trying to save the asses of all the billionaires who are throwing a tantrum over being on the wrong end of a stupid play. When is @CNBCClosingBell gonna stop being a mouthpiece for all these market manipulators who are vilifying retail traders and victimizing the billionaires?

    @5up3r_m4r10 @RickyClarkeIII @IBKR Thanks for putting this up. Interactive is self clearing, his BD is fine. For his introducing BDs can he just raise their deposit based on their exposure?Looks like he thinks the broader market is becoming unstable from this, but my BS Meter is going off

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Y’all are idiotic. A call went out to day trader Registered reps offering them cash to shut down a stock or two.

    Fermi's Pair of Socks (@SophistUnpaid) reported

    @CNBCClosingBell @IBKR I see. So @IBKR placed some vague notion of "marketplace stability" over their duty to customers. This is why I am closing my IBKR positions and closing my account. I will also be pursuing any legal action possible. IBKR cost me a fortune from this action.

    4D ELECTRIC “CHAT BOT” BILL (@Vcpresstartnow) reported

    @IBKR @mcuban Lol, that's a number that was a lot before this scenario was conceived. Their new problem is 3million people buying and holding like five shares each, limited downside guaranteed upside, $9Billion aint enough. $9T might be. I wonder if the #FED has backstopped the IB's. Limitless

    @IBKR Why you should not use IB: 1. IB SMART routing isn’t that smart 2. Low Execution speed cause price slippage 3. Terrible CS service 4. IB system is written by JAVA 5. IB server connection is bad 6. Incorrect data. USD 10 monthly to buy shitty data 7. Low update frequency

    @IBKR What ******** do you mean by 100% margin on long stock positions?, you ignorant ******* sellout. @IBKR

    @IBKR why are GTC orders for GME and AMC no longer allowed????? This is allowed in my other brokerage services. You're giving me another reason to move away from your service.

    LiveMarketChat (@LiveMarketChat) reported

    Peterffy says.... forcing short sellers to buy at $220 is "basically illegal".... huh? Its a bit of a shame as ive considered moving to @IBKR from @TDAmeritrade in the past when we had issues with ThinkOrSwim.....but not now.

  • leiderbahn
    farhaven (@leiderbahn) reported

    @IBKR since your chat support seems a tad... broken. I'm short two ITM puts on NOK. Does you blocking buying NOK stop the buyer of those puts from exercising them?

  • paulcdejean
    Paul Dejean (@paulcdejean) reported

    I've been informed that @CharlesSchwab allows trading on $GME of course no marginable and apparently only via limit order. But that's still better than @IBKR who has shut down trading completely. Looks like I'll be transferring my holdings over to @CharlesSchwab next week.

  • BruceVenture
    Bruce Venture® (@BruceVenture) reported

    Listen @wallstreetbets and bettors.. It’s time to get yourself a real broker. @IBKR didn’t break down yesterday nor in March when @RobinhoodApp crashed. Plus you can #short penny stocks if you wanna get your degenerate points up. As well as access to #international markets.

    @CNBCClosingBell @IBKR Cool story bro. I'm taking my business elsewhere. The outage in December was outrageous, the blatant market manipulation now is over the top.

    @mkmfitzgerald @CNBC @IBKR This is garbage take. Where was a concern during 2008? or all these flash crash due to HFT? no need protection then, no need protection now. What a bunch of whiny losers.

  • trooper1165
    Louis IV (@trooper1165) reported from Strongsville, Ohio

    Why would anyone want to buy stocks now if the brokerages are sllowed to just turn off buying when they think a price is too high or not accurate. @IBKR - the chairmen on #cnbc cant be this stupid from ib is he? Who ******** are you too decide a stocks value.

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR If the service is free, YOU are the product. Robinhood model designed to exchange "free"executions and fractional shares in exchange for premiums on the price you pay for stock vs level RH actually executes delayed amalgamated trades - limiting operations reaks of tail covering

    @CNBCClosingBell @IBKR They're worried about the billionaires staying afloat after illegally naked shorting stocks and taking too much risk that nearly bankrupted them, forcing them to strong arm e traders to screw over regular people to help the shorts. It's sick

    @IBKR you guys are seriously ******. Ole Tommy Boys interview was about the worst ever.

  • DrBJP18
    DrBJP18 (@DrBJP18) reported

    @IBKR Your Chair laughed when asked about "changing the rules". He admitted to restricting cash purchases because it wasn't affordable. Then suggested buying for good reasons not short squeeze. WTF artificially holding down price beyond supply & demand forces. You should be crushed

  • DavidPAGC
    David (@DavidPAGC) reported

    @CNBCClosingBell @IBKR After the fiasco of negative WTI I'm with @ibkr on this. IB offer an excellent service and I want my money protected from reckless speculators that endanger brokers like IB when they go bankrupt and don't pay for their losses.

    @LaziestofDans @IBKR @stkbullgod those guys sailed through 2008-2009 as BSC MER WaMu blew sky high ...... no prop trading , investment banking or even underwriting and i'd add it seemed like Ameritrade was in full blown panic yesterday with that said , they need to hire more customer service
