IB reminds me of Etrade in its early days

Quote from jimrockford:

Adobian,

Please accept my apologies.

I accidentally confused this thread with a different thread. I posted, into this thread, accusations which were intended to be directed towarded the starter of a different thread. My posting was intended to accuse the starter of the other thread of shilling for a competitor of IB. My posting simply referred to the starter of the thread, without specifying their username, so that it creates the wrong impression that my posting was directed to you, the starter of this thread. My accusations were actually directed to the starter of a different thread.

I'm awfully sorry about this. I will PM the moderator and ask him to delete the paragraph containing my mistake.

Thanks, Jim, that was very kind of you.
 
Comparing IB to E-Trade is like comparing a Ferrari to a Pinto. E-Trade, even in its infancy, was never as customer friendly as IB. E-Trade was never that great, IB has maintained its high level of service while getting much bigger.

So what's the deal with IB are they a good online broker or what?

Yes, they're great; but.


The but is simple: if you don't know what you are doing and/or are an idiot you should stay away from ib. They, like Brown used to do, require a certain capability from their customers. If you have a friend using them who can help compensate for what you don't know then this warning may not be so relevant.

Some facts if you are seriously asking the question may be found at: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=69275&perpage=6&pagenumber=1

Merrill Lynch is highly recommended to those who don't have what it takes to be an IB customer. Cheers :)
