ROTFLMAO :D :p

You are also the guy who posted that Quotetracker is the apex of charting packages. N00b :)
 
I am surprised by all the negativism. I'll stick my neck out and express my support.

Despite admittedly pretty bad and slow service (I have a ticket open about an ACAT for over a day now without a response), and despite my one bug beef of not being able to route premarket ArcaEdge OTCBB orders (though CS says the gurus are working on it I'm still waiting)--

I've found IB to be the best retail accessible platform I've ever used in terms of breadth of products and overall functionality/effeiciency/execution. The integration of foreign markets and FX into one account is truly great.

Being a public company would help increase accountability under SarbOx, which as a customer, I view as a major plus. Anyone remember Refco?

Also as someone who spent decades in technology, I have to say I am generally impressed by the apparent technology behind automated market making.

I will say though -- I am surprised at a promotion during the quiet period w/o the usual disclaimers! The lawyers must not be watching today...
 
I'm wondering the same thing 'laputa'.

'dj8899', yes, I agree with you:

.... "is there any chance that IB would spin off the brokerage business? i think a lot of people would have great interest investing in the brokerage portion. there's a lot of growth potential there........"

You got that right 'TM Direct' !

As I said:

Threw in for 1k shares at $25 through WR and will add more when it opens Friday. The valuation is fair and they shoud earn $2 per share in 2007. With only five percent of stock being floated it may act like NMX and take off.
 
After reading more of the prospectus, the company owns minor stakes in the One Chicago, Boston Options Exchange(BOX), and ISE to name a few. Petterfy will grow this company faster than any other brokerage on the public markets. Margins are the highest in the group and this looks like a NMX in the making.
 
They just raised the price to $27 - $31 a share.

Looks like to many people bid at or above top of range.
