(@Presleytal) reported
@mkmfitzgerald @IBKR BS. They were protecting the billionaires who got caught with their crooked pants down by a bunch of redditors. Even when the little guy can finally get a win, the big financial gurus find a way to eff them over to protect the richest people in the world

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Thanks for speaking up Mark, its a sad thing that it is no longer a free market for all, just some. Just another attempt to kick the little man when he's down and unemployed from his career by the governments closure of businesses.

@gregasmaximus @calvinfroedge @IBKR IBKR works great, good app but poor customer service. I'm shopping for another one on principle I don't think Schwab restricted any trades

@SEC_Enforcement There is a lot of work to do to determine what happened today. Start with @IBKR, Citadel LLC and work your way down.

@INVESTMENTSHULK He is literally saying that @IBKR and other brokers tried to crash $GME so that shorts don't go bankrupt. I would have expected them to try and deny this, not talk about it in interviews...what the hell is going on?

I am logging into my @IBKR account since months (I only long on $LK there LOL). I am going to buy $GME just to show the support.

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Their overlords are telling them to shut it down. Very obviously.

@IBKR so your opinion is that it is bad for independent traders to stand up and fight with their money against institutional investors who short stocks, but it is perfectly fine for institutions to borrow 150% of the float hoping to make a killing by taking OUR money.

@IBKR what makes you allowed to manipulate markets like this? You stopped retail investment and allowed hedge funds who were shorted to a ridiculous extent, causing a huge price crash. @TheFCA these guys need investigating immediately this is market manipulation! @JohnGlenUK

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Don't forget about #Stash .. they were more egregious than Robinhood. Stash wouldn't even allow you to login. At least Robinhood allowed you to sell.

@IBKR Your hypocritical owner Thomas Peterffy comes on Bloomberg and claims why anyone would buy GME for 225 when it is worth 70. He puts ads promoting free markets then who ******** he is to curtail free market, hypocritical bastard

@mkmfitzgerald @IBKR You're trading the entire float twice a day. What's the liquidity problem here? I can't buy stock with cash account or hold it without margin?

(@SophistUnpaid) reported
@IBKR To anyone reading this thread. I think I found a new company worth shorting. It's a financial services firm that just pissed off THOUSANDS of clients just a day after shutting down due to volume. Ticker is IBKR. I'm betting this quarter's earnings will be way down.

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR My question - is it legal? If a person has not violated any laws in trading, how can they be shut down? Under what authority? And were retail traders the ONLY ones that were shut down? I got questions...

@CNBCClosingBell @IBKR Integrity of the market start by asking how hedge funds was able to short over 💯 % of GME doubling down on the same shorted shares

(@RickyClarkeIII) reported
@danielsowelll @5up3r_m4r10 @IBKR My only issue coming out of today was any brokerages who limited buys in cash funded accts. The margin, option explanations all pass to varying degrees, but limiting cash funded buys is and always should be illegal unless all trading is halted

@IBKR Chairman Peterffy states They shut down trading @GameStop BECAUSE Interactive Brokers must protect their Short Sellers BECAUSE Their brokerage accounts are leveraged & Short Sellers won't cover their losses

@CNBCClosingBell @IBKR Wow so the underlying issue here might be risk within the derivatives clearinghouse process. Maybe some members were unable to cover these losses. If only I didn’t write a paper about this exact thing. @ClintWroteThis
