IBKR (Interactive Brokers) getting POUNDED!!!!!!!

[2ticks]

Quote from atticus:

I took IBKR for 9.75 points in my previous IBKR trade. I bought another 3k here at ~25.30. $26.62 average on 6k. I only average down on stocks I am willing to hold for a quarter or more.

With understanding of at least a medium-term hold, what is your stop?

Thanks

25 cents profit doesnt seem like much.

I was looking at some of what Cramer was saying in the following article. Interactive Brokers might suffer a similiar "run on the bank" scenario just as Bear Stearns did a few weeks ago.

Cramer thought that it was time to get your money out of Interactive Brokers.

Interesting to look back on these posts and look at what IBKR did afterwards WTG Cramer! oh you too jackstone.

Bought to open a position. $27.93

how come you bought the underlying straight up instead of an option play?

I may run synthetics around the spot position if I am ITM on the stock buy. Long spot/short 2 calls/long strangle [long synthetic fly]. Profitable long spot + long put [synthetic long call]. Most of my spot positions morph into synthetics.
