$IBKR

Does he own it?

No first-person position language anywhere: no "long," no add/size, no portfolio weight. He treats IBKR as the brokerage he uses to access foreign equities and as a business to praise versus HOOD. His stated longs are chips/memory/supply-chain names, not the broker itself. IBKR appears only as a tool and as a custodian line in another stock's cap table.

His thesis

IBKR is the superior brokerage for retail wanting international (Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Europe) equity exposure, capturing inflows and account growth as HOOD fumbles by chasing prediction markets and meme coins instead of enabling global trading. He credits his own audience with driving new IBKR accounts and expects this international-access edge to keep benefiting the platform, though he gripes about its 100% margin treatment of foreign names.

How his view evolved

Began as a passing mention of IBKR as the way to buy foreign stocks, then grew into repeated praise of it over HOOD, commentary on its account/inflow growth, a margin complaint, and noting it as a custodian in SIVE's ownership.

Key points

• Recommends IBKR as best route to international equities, beating HOOD
• Frames it as a business winning inflows/accounts, not a personal holding
• His actual longs are chip/memory/supply-chain names; IBKR is the tool
