Why didn't you take profit at 40? Or did you buy it on the way down? As for holding, these meme stocks are like lottery, unpredictable. If the CEO of RKT tweets a picture of rocket, RKT can easily go to $200.

Whats going on with GME? It is stuck at 120 since 3/1, while all the other meme stocks are tanking slowly.

I'm trying to understand the risks of shorting GME as it seems to spike for no reason and it might do so again in future. Say if I shorted GME at 150, the price goes to $200, the owner of those shares sells them, what happens to my short position? Will I be forced to buy them at $200 and take a...

Too low of a price for me to short. All it takes is some guy to tweet an image of bitcoin and this can cross $200 again. That would be a great entry to short for me.

I was looking to short GME at IBKR. On 2/24, IB had 2million shares available for shorting. It had 0 yesterday. Can someone tell me why shares available to short could become 0? Is it because all those 2 million shares have been shorted by someone already? Or did those people (GME share holders)...

Thanks. I tried expanding everything. It is still not there. I even added all of the reporting to a custom report. It still didn't show anything. I'm on the phone with IB on hold for 2 hours trying to find this. This is what I get when I selected all sections for a custom report.

I'm not seeing the "Borrow Fee Details" section. I shorted GME on 2/5 and closed it on 2/8. This is all I see. May be there is a bug in IB where it doesn't charge any short fee for GME? Here are my trades:

Thanks for these details. Appreciate it.

Could you please elaborate on "you will be bought in"? What does it mean and why it is a bad place to be in for a retail investor? Sorry about all these questions as I'm new to shorting.

Thanks. That link shows me a statement section called "Non-Direct Hard to Borrow Details". But I am not seeing that section on my daily activity statements. I even tried customizing the report and that didn't show me that section either. Here is the section I am not seeing on my activity...

Hello, I recently shorted GME and covered the short after 3 days. I am trying to find out how much fee I paid for those 3 days for shorting GME. Can someone please tell me where I can find this in reports? I looked at the daily activity reports and I don't see any such detail? Thanks.

If I sold GME $300 naked call and get assigned, and the broker doesn't have any shares available to borrow, what happens? If the shares are available to borrow, I will be short 100 shares of GME when assigned. But I'm not sure what happens when broker doesn't have any shares to lend me. Will I...

I feel guilty about shorting. People from low income families are betting their life savings going long on GME. So I'm only shorting small qty so they can exit before this thing tanks again.

Not since Monday. I just shorted GME at 73 at IBKR.

Hello, I'm new to short selling. IB has a fee rate of 8% for GME as of today. Is this fee assessed on the price of GME I borrowed at or the daily closing price? Say I shorted 100 shares of GME at $100 and few days later it is trading at $50, will the 8% rate be assessed on the $10,000 or...

I got it the same day. It took a little longer. IB credited the account at 6:50PM EST. It was a huge amount, so that got me worried. So there was a delay of 4 hours between debit from bank and showing up in IB. Thanks for the replies.

I had my bank sent out a wire to IB this morning. The money got deducted from bank around 3PM EST. I don't see the funds in my IB account yet. Bank says they sent it already. IB says it hasn't received them. Did anyone else have a similar experience?

Thanks IB-AN. I will check with my bank on that. What is the waiting period for trading on the funds sent by this ACH push? Is it still 4 days?

Unfortunately, my cash is parked in online savings accounts that pay 1% interest. They don't have a bill pay, only ACH. They support wire but I don't want to pay $30 outgoing wire fee. I can do ACH pull from IB but that has 4 day waiting period at IB before funds are available.

How do I initiate a push from my bank account? My bank does micro ACH deposits to verify that I own the account. But IB doesn't have a personal checking account I can give to my bank for the micro deposits. Should I give IB's account at Citi Bank and somehow IB would credit those to my account?
