Thanks, but I've lived through dozens of splits, reverse splits, spin-offs etc. and that was never the case. Every time the strike price was adjusted accordingly; even on non-US exchanges. Closing the position is possible. Still, it was a trading strategy and I intended to roll the puts...

Sold some CWEB July puts before the reverse split. However, after the split the position strike was not updated. Instead it was renamed CWEB1 basket derivative with the same strike and I am restricted to close only. Probably a stupid question but could somebody explain the situation. Was there...

IBKR are allowing you to exercise on the last day. You have to open a ticket and contact the support. However, my problem is that I have a vertical put spread. Not exercising my longs is obviously gonna cost me a lot. However, If i exercise I risk having a sizeable short position with a huge...

I have a RSX 18 March vertical put spread. I am quite worried... did not consider that particular risk when opening the position. Should I exercise the long leg and risk holding a large short position with a huge interest fee. Or not exercise and risk being assigned and pay for hundreds of...

Russia will be cut from SWIFT. That was on the cards. The countries that are reluctant to support this measure are faking opposition because of their own citizens. This measure will hurt mostly EU, much less Russia and would greatly benefit USA.

I am with you on this one. Almost fully invested in energy, commodities, precious metals and shipping. I am somewhat connected to the shipping business and even with Russia exporting there is just not enough oil. Without Russia it would be nightmare... unless the demand is utterly destroyed...

1/4 of my portfolio is exposed - Gazprom, Evraz, Polymetal, Mechel. I thought I am well hedged as the rest is Petrobras, XOM, verious US natgas producers and midstream, coal, NEM and some gold juniors. However, Thursday was absolute shitshow regarding PA. Not a Taleb fanboy but there was this...

Your comment is such a joke, it is almost surreal.

Most post just don't / can't get it. Russia has never been stronger financially, never been less dependent from the West. The US undermined the USD for so long that Russia is almost completely detached by now. The so-cal sanctions will hurt mostly EU.

Russian troops have entered the moment Putin signed the documents. That is official. Small scale kinetic clash is very possible as Ukraine does not really control own army and there are way too many independent contractors and CIA operatives. Anyways, BTFD!

We're already living the disaster. Regarding their market articles - they are on the bullish side most of the time. And they are nailing it.

Low fees, cheap margin, almost universal international coverage. They do suck though. Tried to migrate, no real alternative in my shitty EU backwater hellhole.

@def , thank you for the clarification. It is beyond obvious that IBKR has their reasons. However, you should keep valid options for non-smartphone users. Catering to the lowest denominator (pc-less smartphone zombies) could definitely hurt Interactive in the long run. How many users do you...

Dead wrong! Funny but today I've opened second IBKR account and they wanted a fucking selfie!!! Unpleasant surprise. And then I clearly remember opening my account in December 2019 - no smartphone required. Furthermore, they wanted official state issued document for my address; utility bill is...
