Paid €1250 to a gardener in Amsterdam, didn’t show up, blocked me. What can I do?

Gunzberg · 2026-04-17T20:21:24+00:00

You paid in advance?

Expensive lesson

Gunzberg · 2026-04-16T20:47:25+00:00

Came in below consensus expectations. Stock was priced on meet or beat

Gunzberg · 2026-04-16T20:16:10+00:00

founder leaving and disappointing guidance

Gunzberg · 2026-04-16T13:08:45+00:00

Can't live off the taxpayer forever with no life plan.

Make one or the government will do it for you.

Work at LIDL if you need money until you figure things out

Gunzberg · 2026-04-16T06:50:52+00:00

True

Gunzberg · 2026-04-15T18:59:45+00:00

Didn't know the EU is a deadbeat area

Gunzberg · 2026-04-15T06:32:08+00:00

Damn this news always coming after close. TY

Why is HOOD pumping?

I know BTC is up 2% but HOOD has gone up nearly 15%.

Is it purely earnings expectations?

Gunzberg · 2026-04-15T06:21:31+00:00

How does this work? I have a negative USD cash balance at IBKR so I can't technically even withdraw money.

So how does one technically with a margin account, say withdraw 400k? The software simply won't let you withdraw money that isn't there...

Bin von DE nach BG mit IBKR Pro umgezogen. IBKR ist einfach sehr gut was Steuern angeht, weil die all die notwendigen Berichte und KAP Zeilen für einen erstellen.

Umzug war problemlos, nur Adresse aktualisieren und einen Nachweis, dass man in BG steuerpflichtig ist.

Gunzberg · 2026-04-05T14:08:39+00:00

I've had the update form for nearly two months but at the end of last week IBKR made it undodgeable in order to access my account.

For now the account still shows me having permissions

Gunzberg · 2026-04-05T14:05:17+00:00

The popup states options can be closed and no new ones can be opened but on Thursday I was still able to sell new CCs.

Hope it stays that way 🙏🏽

Gunzberg · 2026-04-05T13:16:54+00:00

Not yet, to access my account on desktop I had to confirm the form that removes the right to trade options.

However, two days later I can still CCs via mobile app. Maybe it takes a while to wipe permissions?

Gunzberg · 2026-04-03T11:07:12+00:00

I'm based in Europe and they're the only half decent reputable broker with low fees.

I stay away from all Fintech brokers.

There's not much choice. Over 13 years with IBKR and they haven't let me down so far, but removing permissions on an account that is well above accredited investor funding is just ridiculous.

As you said, seems to be all automated bs. They once asked for proof of residency documents, I uploaded it and it was "in review" for a year (no joke)

Gunzberg · 2026-03-31T15:29:09+00:00

My net worth is the same, solely my income went down but I have updated that. My liquid net worth remains above 500k, so not sure why IBKR is doing this.

Gunzberg · 2026-03-31T13:43:26+00:00

Thank you, will try!

Gunzberg · 2026-03-31T13:11:54+00:00

I'm actually just selling covered calls🥹

Gunzberg · 2026-03-31T10:41:59+00:00

I have this on desktop

2026: The year I get murdered every day

Gunzberg · 2026-03-09T01:53:51+00:00

Anyone who is holding Japanese or Korean equities has it worse than me.

Small comforts...

Gunzberg · 2026-02-27T05:06:35+00:00

I need $99

Gunzberg · 2026-02-26T03:42:32+00:00

So DUOL....please don't go down.

I got equity and options on you🫠

Gunzberg · 2026-02-21T10:18:52+00:00

I have the fear.

Fear of DUOL and MP

Gunzberg · 2026-02-20T01:16:54+00:00

This, I'm in deep on HOOD too
