    @IBKR I'm trying to get onto the support chat to get help with a trade problem but seeing "Finding an available representative" for the past 15mins. How long before someone connects?

  • Tim_463 Tim (@Tim_463) reported

    @EmmetPeppers @IBKR Unfortunately they have the most horrible UI I've ever seen. It's slow as hell and it's just a bad experience every time I use it. To be fair I didn't have any major problems so far but I only use them because there aren't many alternatives where I live.

  • ulongutesla Ulongu (@ulongutesla) reported

    @IBKR Why would I lend me shares and make it easier for short sellers to tank my own stock? The interest doesn’t justify the stock price crash.

  • Full_PowerMode SteveK (@Full_PowerMode) reported

  • 9551Jd JD 9551 (@9551Jd) reported

    @IBKR Extremely poor customer support in Australia. Your staff doesn't know anything about trading. and your website is worse than your customer support. Every time I think of opening an account on IB. These things turn me down. Sorry.

    @AnonNgmi @IBKR cuz they have the lowest margin % rates. Then I could sell the puts using equity from my other diversified holdings (stocks, paper metals, REITs) without having cash sit there. If I get put the stock in Feb and don't have the cash, my DCA funds go to pay down loan. 1/2
