    • Three Cheap 'Transactional' Brokerage Firms [view article]
      Paul - Do you think there is any chance at all of IBKR getting caught on the wrong side of some market making? For example, if they were making a market in BSC 30 puts when the stock was at 60, and two days later it was at 2, and IBKR ended up being short those puts? That could have cost them millions if something like that were to happen. I think the stock is down from 33 because there are fears they could go bankrupt due to some bad market making and getting caught on the wrong side of a market during volatile times. The commission side of their option business is just fine, it's the market making I'm worried about. Mar 31 11:42 AM
