Thanks, Steve.

There is a company structure available here: http://individuals.interactivebroke...p?ib_entity=llc On that chart the listed company, IBKR, is Interactive Brokers Group Inc. So yes, the market cap on Yahoo refers to this company and it's 10% stake. Steve: Thanks very much. That is a...

Only ten percent of IB is floated. Do the math yourself kiddo. Nice to hear that.... Do you happen to use an URL in support that (Only ten percent of IB is floated). Thanks very much!!!

IB's mkt cap is much larger because yahoo finance fails to include the 80-90% of o/s shares held by Petterfy the CEO. WAIT a second, did you imply that the TRUE IB market cap can be around between 1.12 * 5 = 5.6B and 1.12*10 = 11.2B? In that case, it is bigger than MF Global...

If you go to: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=IBKR you will see IB has 1.12B cap, but it also has "Total Cash (mrq): 31.89B" in its balance ship. If you go to http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=YHOO you will see "Market Cap (intraday): 34.36B" and it also has "Total Cash (mrq)...

This is an interesting Poll: some people find it easy while others most difficult. You would think that most people would average in the middle. The key is the statement "Compared to other brokers": With that phase it would appeared more difficult is correct seeing that opening a regular...

Your question doesn't make any sense. What do you mean 'how easy'? Don't you understand that 'how easy' will be different for different people? If they aren't very smart, it might take a long time. If they have no experience opening trading accounts, it might take longer. Your question is...

Ok...I see your point. But if IB doesn't require your "clients" to fill out the required info what happens if you trade the accounts to zero? Who is responsible? You or IB? Thanks to see my point. ALL required info shall be still required per CFTC/NFA regulations (and others). I do...

It's all about Know Your Client. The less you know the more difficult it will be to fill out the required information. Complete agreed with your idea "Know Your Client". But, this is nothing to do with “Know Your Client” rule. Image this ……. You are a FF advisor, you instruct IB...

............ based on you and your three aliases By the way, I do not have three aliases. I only have one name (dabao91) in ET ......... Wish you the best ................

OK. Just want to make thing clear. The reason I came to ET to post this poll is that I have a Friend and Family advisor master account with IB and I manage some other accounts under such master account. The comments from my family and friends indicated to me that it is not that easy (for them)...

Ok, so now you have your results. You're wrong. ------ Am I? Why? Please advise… Your own poll shows it. ------- How? Please advise… Can we close this thread now? -------- Why? I do not understand…… Please advise…

May I ask you something? Why are you asking this question? I have opened about 5 accounts with IB and my friend opened about 3 accounts with IB. We both feel the ONLINE account open procedure may have some room to improve..... We do not know WHAT, but just feel that way ..................

Any more voters?

It is not I have problem to open IB account or not. It is to try to understand how easy to open IB account ONLINE for people (not just for myself). If this topic has been discussed before, please post the URL, if you would like. Thanks.

For those who votes for 10 points = most difficulty to open a new account, please post your experience in more details and also what do you think IB can do to improve the ON LINE new account open procedure.

i think -it's depend on where you are from. for US residents it take 15-20 min to open IB account.procedure is easy,everything done online. only take 15-20 min???? Any one experience differences?
