  • AddictedGrowth AddictedToGrowth (@AddictedGrowth) reported

    @IBKR Whelp, see ya. Beyond stupid. The number one thing people require from a broker is trust. Set your margin requirements and guidelines, but **** off away from certain symbols.

  • BigSkiDude BigSkiDude (@BigSkiDude) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR in order to provide free trades, fractional share trading, they have had to make deals with traditional trading firms that may ultimately show, that even disclosed, were bad medicine for small individual investors...but who knows.

  • FSU_Noles0415 CertifiedG_BonafidStud (@FSU_Noles0415) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Because when billionaire hedge funds use risky trade tactics to short stocks and take money from little people it’s fine... when the little people fight back and cost those billionaires money THEN it’s a problem

  • JillBudden Jill S. Budden (@JillBudden) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Kenny G gave them money to shut it down, that’s 100000000% what happened

  • erinschlick €rîn! (@erinschlick) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Was wondering that or if they’re questioning the sources and Info on those sites. If they were of sketchy origins would they shut em down? Seems like an awful idea otherwise for em. This is the best thing ever for them

  • ErnstBlofield Reformed central banker (@ErnstBlofield) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Citadel shorts stock. Price goes up. Citadel tells Robinhood to turn off the buy button but leave the sell button. Price goes down. Citadel wins.

  • pali1H Robert (@pali1H) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR They think we are too stupid to band together towards a common interest.

  • kknow1888 Kknow (@kknow1888) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Citadel are Robinhood biggest customer for retail traders flows. Citadel just bailed out Melvin capital.

  • amysmith70 Amy Smith (@amysmith70) reported from Angola, Indiana

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR The worst part is it says I cancelled the order and I did NOT cancel the order. I’m shutting Robinhood down completely.

  • PenguinODoomOW Armond (@PenguinODoomOW) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Mark please help the autists out

  • Hjs2Foley HammerFoley (@Hjs2Foley) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR (2) The size and scale which WSB is creating likely hurting the MMs due to latency issues. If Robinhood and IBKR lose these contracts, they need to actually pay to have trades executed...

  • Magsquad69 Mr crypto stock pr (@Magsquad69) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR If you can't Buy $gme and $amc and the others. Go Buy $SNDL same thing is happening now with this stock. People just found out about the short sellers driving the price down and is now $1.00 when it was $0.50

  • redditinvestors Reddit Investors (@redditinvestors) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR It's called screwing the people. Down with the suits!

  • BrianD1010 Brian (@BrianD1010) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Or u scumbags are trying to shut them down. Im so here foe this.

  • madbad Ryan Donnelly (@madbad) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR The SEC should shut down the platform. Anyone who has an account with them should make plans to close it.

  • SideGigTrades SideGigTrades (@SideGigTrades) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Given the amount of margin they allow people to trade with, there's significant risk for them in the current climate. I also imagine it's a cash flow issue for them to honor the transfers when trades are complete.

  • Boom37888688 Boom (@Boom37888688) reported

    @BTCRyan @IBKR **** IBKR GOING TO TD

  • leliangirard Lelian Girard (@leliangirard) reported

    @IBKR still trying to grasp the consequences of what you are announcing. Changing margin rules, fine; halting new position in the stock, fine. But force liquidating option contracts? WTF. What about people who were hedging etc? You are really crossing a line and asking for lawsuits.

  • j2110_ JD (@j2110_) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR They lost money so they shut it down . Or they planned to do this with intention to short sell

  • VonSamuel Samuel (@VonSamuel) reported

    @IBKR Wtf is this ****? This is outrageous.

  • LilDontFollowMe Lou Swimmin (@LilDontFollowMe) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Corrupt as ****, just like anything else with this country

  • REInvestor82 FlipShark (@REInvestor82) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR so they can "mitigate their risk" be not allowing buys of the stock and just sells, in turn bringing the price down and screwing anyone that is holding a long position.

  • Nathan805 Nate Clark (@Nathan805) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR There is no free market for us poor people we start to make money it gets shut down.

  • megashmarie Megan Marie (@megashmarie) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR They probably were offered money to take the stocks down.

  • toddkimmelman 🙈🙉🙊 (@toddkimmelman) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Can you buy Robinhood and fix them, please?

  • LongLeaps ☰cky 🇨🇦 (@LongLeaps) reported

    Hey @IBKR, aside from your terrible decision making, now I’m not getting any data on option prices. What the heck???

  • soulieman74 Stephen Soulis (@soulieman74) reported

    @mcuban @RobinhoodApp @IBKR Robinhood claims to be for the people but it is run by the big boys clearly. They saw what was happening at 7am and shut it down to reverse premarket into red and create a panic sell at bell. Problem is everyone is holding. Tomorrow is doom for shorts. Ain’t nothing stopping it.
