@IBKR This is not acceptable. IF securities broker/dealers felt they would get into trouble with continued trading, they should have gotten the exchanges to suspend trading, not an asymmetrical suspension affecting only your customers, whilst other players are able to cover their butt

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Liquidity issue, CEO of Robinhood just blamed it on regulations (kinda true) but you could tell they did not have the capital to put up the money to cover deposit required.

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Dumb take. Brokers are on the hook for their clients margin losses. That’s the first problem. Second problem is SEC undoubtedly is threatening these firms with Enforcement cases if they allow “manipulative trading” on their platforms

@IBKR @mcuban If @IBKR has 9 billion in capital, what exactly is the motivation to restrict trading other than to manipulate prices to levels they need them to be at? Prices go where the market takes them -up or down - apparently some are more equal than others.

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Hard to believe you are posting on this.... This whole thing is about manipulation of the markets by the rich and powerful. You really shouldn’t speak on it, Mark, for obvious reasons. Already told Leon to **** off today...I like you Man, but please back away from this one.

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR It all just looks one-sided on shutting it down. The unpredictableness is part of the stock game, but when "winners" always win, and someone beats them at their game for once! ? Are we suppose to feel bad? Hell no!

@MsGameTheory @IBKR @mcuban IBKR did not stop buying on GME. They just forced clients to buy GME without margin. The problem with margin is that it takes less than a 100% drop in the stock price to lose all your money. It's common for brokerages to do this during high periods of volatility.

@IBKR @mcuban Shouldn’t you have collateral for these margin calls with institutional clients on the short options. The issue is that the short sellers were over leveraged and now you want to protect the “important clients”

@RomeTimed @MutinyMongo @IBKR I hear you. This is when the quality of the broker and their clearing firm matters. Also people need to brush up on their SIPC coverage :) brokerage firms fail due to bad risk management when handling their clients transactions.

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Seems to be a liquidity issue.

I've been very disappointed with @IBKR throughout the whole GameStop $GME situation and their communications regarding the trading restrictions. Plus, their platform is really slow with poor user experiencce. What's a good broker that is available for Europeans?
