@MaybeAnOption @IBKR Since most of IBKR clients are professional traders who prefer to have a 10$ price improvement and pay 2$ commissions when using IBKR pro only 3% of them choose to be an IBKR Lite customer.

@epaveseDC @IBKR What do you mean of course you have control when they are given back, its called selling, when a long sells his shares the brokers is forced to recover the shares to enable the customer to sell.

@IBKR - I am having the worst experience from a support team, ever. Cannot connect via email and chat, waited 3 times for 45 minutes listening to classic music without being able to connect. Yes, your support team.

@IBKR IBKR hates SPACS, they won’t give you any margin on them. And they mess up the symbol change on the merger freezing you out of trading. I have a significant account and will be moving it elsewhere. You guys are terrible!!!!!!

@Holmes1618 @Fidelity @IBKR I’m down to try anything at this point. I just need to avoid the #brokeragetailrisk of not being able to transact at random times, etc.

@IBKR I have tried creating an account and passed my docs. I got the acount number once but lost it. Now I can login and whenever I try calling no one answers. Need some help here.

(@DanielWiener_) reported
@epaveseDC @IBKR Maybe the rules should be changed so only you can borrow shares from another customer of your own broker, that way their is very little risk of this happening since the broker is always net zero the shares, every share he lends he owns.

@SubhadipNandy @tradingview Dada you probably have heard of @IBKR . There you can do anything you can imagine using their APO service.

@IBKR Seriously, the WORST customer service I have ever experienced with any company in any industry for whatever reason.....ever! Your CEO goes on CNBC and wonders aloud why nobody borrows on margin from IB. Charge more interest and then hire some customer service

@DanielWiener_ @IBKR Hmmm. no , that's another issue (and doesn't even work like you describe). When your shares are lent out, you don't have much control over when they are given back. Unless your shares are actually in your name and not in street name (which is very very rare for a retail investor)

Does anybody have an email address for @IBKR Interactive Brokers? Literally cannot get a human being on the phone or via support ticket to just reset my ******* password. I can't stick around longer than 1hr on hold!

@MecaChrome51 @IBKR IBKR hates SPACS, they won’t give you any margin on them. And they mess up the symbol change on the merger freezing you out of trading. No concern for the customer, only themselves. Even Tommy Boy said so!

Esteban Pavese
(@epaveseDC) reported
@DanielWiener_ @IBKR The problem he's describing is how to deliver the shares to the new longs (buyers or call options exercisers). He has a point. But the solution is not to stop the buying, but margin call the sellers

@swanf4u @IBKR I agree, which is why the SEC suing @Ripple is stupid. Their technology could solve this tomorrow
