Is that really true? Everyone knows that these leveraged etfs go to zero over time, so don't you think that finding shares to short would either...
Since IB is so big, if they let everyone go crazy with their OER, maybe it eats significantly into their bandwith or possible fines from...
The last 5-10 minutes is the important part of the video if someone doesn't want to watch the whole thing. It seems like Tom is saying there is a...
I in general like what they are doing educating people, but there are some small annoyances that I have with them. The 2 major ones are saying...
