    Sorry IB, your customer service is a joke

    For the EFP thing, I have noticed you seem to get the highest yield when the stock tank. Is it the case? Do you get the best yield when the stock suddenly drop a big percentage?At least from what i see from DNA and SOV. The dividend does matter when u are doing a reversal/conversion, does...
