@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Because their Market Maker, (rhymes with $hitadel) needs these stocks to go back down so they can recoup their loan to Melvin Capital.

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Or they are trying to protect their platforms from crashing. Look at RH platform stability record. It's not good.

@IBKR To help your hedge fund buddies and to screw over your regular customers? Wow. DISGUSTING.

@NotaBubble @Mindwbw @IBKR You may need to do that with options since they have shut down the stock

@AOC @RobinhoodApp Nice to have support from a senatrice! I have been blocked as well by @IBKR ! I can even sell or buy GameStop

@BBailey320 @IBKR Even giant TD securities were down for an hour this morning. They said they might restrict trading in $GME at anytime to preserve liquidity in other names

(@OnClose) reported
@IBKR Why are you blocking investors from trading a "free market"? Interactive Brokers prevented me from buying #GME at $150 and it immediately moved to over $300, I will be filing a @SEC_Enforcement complaint

@chavousc @IBKR The problem is, all retail brokers are done it. You can take your account somewhere else, but where?

Bought some $GME, $AMC, $NOK right now on the Flatex platform that still allows buying these. Filed a complaint at @ibkr for interfering with my trades and manipulating the free market.

U mad?
(@Yep23231) reported
@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR A brokerage should just process buy and sell orders with customer money...They shouldn't use their own money...Then it's impossible to not have the cash

Bradley Bailey
(@BBailey320) reported
@TeminatorTrader @IBKR Yep. I realized Robinhood was a bad brokerage a while ago but now other firms like Interactive Brokers are restricting trading on volatile options. How hard is it for them to do their job and provide liquidity in all market environments.

@IBKR I've only been trading a couple months and was pretty happy with IBKR until this morning. I thought you provided a service to the people, not regulate how we spend our money?
-
Benjamin Monette
(@OdinSQL) reported
@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR This was a multi billion dollar fraud committed against retail investors. Hedge funds don't want to payout their losing bet so they shut down trading. They figurer that the lawsuits and payouts will be less than what it would cost to cover their short positions.

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR The fix is in. This is the opposite of free market capitalism.

@IBKR Who ******** will buy if you restrict it to sell only? Your big fat cats to cover their shorts?

@DMBjkloste2 @IBKR What platform were you using? The system's always been ******, but they've never been this blatant about it. Going to be major repercussions from all of this. You know it's bad when Ted Cruz and AOC are on the same page against it. LOL

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Although I don’t agree with this, my take would be that they are shutting down trading on these stocks to protect themselves from a future market manipulation lawsuit.

@IBKR Just opened an account a couple weeks ago. Glad I didn't fund it yet. I will be closing my account. I will not support any brokerage that refuses to allow free trading. Goodbye. Good luck with the class action lawsuit

@IBKR Whaaaaa!!!! “put certain symbols into liquidation only” WTF!? Why!? That’s a sure recipe for shenanigans. That’s insane. That’s not a market.

Closing my @IBKR account because of their participation in manipulating $GME $NOK $AMC. Stopping people from purchasing an instrument because their hedge fund friends are in the red is disgusting behaviour. **** them.

@IBKR Disgusting IB! Im already preparing to move my portfolio elsewhere. And you still haven’t reimbursed me for my losses due to the massive crash a month ago 💩

@mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR I have $0 in any of these stocks but these little guys need your help more than ever. Central banks and the fed have rigged the game to force asset prices up at every opportunity until it forces up the wrong asset and now all of a sudden it’s shut down to help themselves out.
