  • mikelc88 Mikel (@mikelc88) reported

    @IBKR WORST BROKER EVER. DELETE YOURSELF.

  • BrianLa12398618 Brian Lang (@BrianLa12398618) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR It's almost certainly a liquidity issue. And that should scare anyone away from either.

  • Muhamma31273647 Muhammad Jawad Iqbal Khan (@Muhamma31273647) reported

    @IBKR @MrZackMorris @ripster47 if everyone hold their stocks and shorts are required to post 300% margin, it magnifies the problem for short and price should shoot up.

  • jason_in_SoCal J Man (@jason_in_SoCal) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR They probably don’t want liability of these guys suing the brokers after these stocks come back down to earth.

  • llllvvuu Lawrence Wu (@llllvvuu) reported

    @IBKR This is really shameful @IBKR. There is no reason to shut down DEFINED-RISK trades in order to bail out funds that engage in UNLIMITED RISK trades with NO RISK MANAGEMENT, let alone engage in #MarketManipulation

  • TraderMike9 Trader Mike (@TraderMike9) reported

    @IBKR Worst brokerage ever! How much are hedge funds paying you guys to do this?

  • Callum_Sumner Callum (@Callum_Sumner) reported

    @IBKR Corrupt scum. You knew what this would do to the price to help your hedge fund buddies. People will remember this and your business will suffer.

  • ConnorReddick Connor Reddick (@ConnorReddick) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR I’m guessing they don’t have the cash to trade at this scale. They’ve already been in trouble in the past for using user funds to pay out positions for other customers.

  • kebursaw Keegan Bursaw (@kebursaw) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR It's like when my little brother would start beating me in a game when we were young. "Oh, game over. Too bad"

  • spittinfactsyo Spittinfactsyo (@spittinfactsyo) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR It’s not investing, it’s speculation and gambling and their intent was to help people who don’t have access to the market get access to it. Despite their name, they don’t actually want to steal from the rich

  • Young__Edge EJ (@Young__Edge) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Worst part is robinhood is gaining more followers by the second...

  • HMZHABIB Hamza Habib (@HMZHABIB) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR I’m heating citadel, Robinhoods liquidity provider holds the largest shorts in those stocks. Hence they don’t want to support any new buying in the stocks. Smells bad, very bad.

  • itsJoeCool22 Joe (@itsJoeCool22) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR They have a habit of doing this. Did the same thing during the crash in March. They have a habit of freezing transactions when it behooves them.

  • HMZHABIB Hamza Habib (@HMZHABIB) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR I’m hearing Citadel, Robinhoods liquidity provider holds the largest shorts in those stocks. Hence they don’t want to support any new buying in those stocks. Smells bad, very bad indeed (if true)!

  • ReidEFraser Reid Fraser (@ReidEFraser) reported

    @IBKR @RobinhoodApp @TDAmeritrade are literally begging for class action lawsuits by forcing people to only be able to sell. A “problem” that likely would have gone away on its own they just made worse by making themselves targets.

  • SnuffyMcSnuffy Snuffy (@SnuffyMcSnuffy) reported

    @IBKR so you are saying the free market is bad?

  • life_of_niebz The Dude (@life_of_niebz) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR I just lost everything. That’s what i get for trusting the country that’s supposed to help the people.

  • The_Money_Monke The Money Monkey (@The_Money_Monke) reported

    @keyboardspam @IBKR @public I was literally in the process of deciding between IBKR and Public after RH decided to **** everyone over. Is it really THAT far fetched of a story right now?

  • jimmygrk Jim Allos (@jimmygrk) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Help mark. Come on man this isn’t right. You know it! Where is Jim Cramer? Did they shut him down? He was our advocate

  • CaponNc CaponNC (@CaponNc) reported

    @IBKR This is 100% a coordinated effort to support the shorts and manipulate prices. By directly taking out the option to buy, they kneecapped demand and force prices down, all so the shorts can cover their positions.

  • Beygovich Daz (@Beygovich) reported

    @IBKR But I'm not even able to buy $GME via cash...wtf is that. This is complete bullshit.
