I've given them 75k of commissions this year, even more last year and I didn't get squat. :eek:

Poor sucker...

Htrader,

I got the book, and I do half the business that you do. Keep checking your mailbox.

My father got the book too, and he's generated a grand total of maybe $50 in commissions since he's had the account open. Maybe it's account size.

I got cufflinks from IB back in 2000.

All this doesn't make sense. Are there humans behind it?

I thought IB doesn't even employ humans, except for the occassional cyborg. Am I wrong? Do they have STAFF???

Not that I'm dissatisfied. I'm happy with my IB account. I'm just amazed at human gestures [gifts], that's all.

Cheers,

Maybe some poor schmuck Phd lost his ass and paid them in books.

I received the book today and did a quick read/skim of it. It's a good book, in my opinion. Worth reading again once I have time.

I wonder if they send it to everyone or have a specific criteria.

I'm halfway through chapter 3, and it is pretty intersting. It's the very first trading book I've seen that is a text book.
