I use iWeb - although mostly for long term stuff.
iWeb deposits are instant. I can transfer the cash and trade it in seconds.

212 for me.
How do you deposit?
I've done 3 now with differing levels of success
1st - Bank Transfer (set up from my bank) - Showed in my account within a few hours
2nd - Same as above. However this was on the 14th of Jan and still no sign of it. Support just keep saying they're looking into it. Getting annoyed by it now, luckily only £200. Although if i'd put that into GME back on the 14th....
3rd - "Instant" Bank Transfer where they use open banking. This showed up in a few minutes
I've not tried a debit card but others on here seem to have had decent success with that.

I've read far better DD on there than here if that's saying anything..
I guess it's just being able to wade through on the junk to find the decent stuff.
Here it's a lot easier to follow.
There is the odd post on there sure, but that's not what the subreddit is about. This is WSB in a nutshell :
Will be really interesting to see what happens when the market opens and normal people can trade.

If they did halt it creates even greater problems regards to it being a free market (we all know that isn't true anyway) and opens a whole can on worms when people kick back against that
The share is going up because people see value in it, that value is a giant F you to those naked shorters who have shorted more than the float, if anything, the SEC should be investigating how shorters are able to short more than 100% of available shares not a bunch of people rallying together to buy shares in a company to twist the knife into people who make their money on companies failing
Or use the OB connection
There is no value in it at $330 a share - that's the point. It' reckless manipulation of a share price......
I understand it's a F you to the shorters but it's just as reckless on the otherside trying to tell people to keep buying at that price - it's massive/hugely out of wack......
Reckless is the whole point of WSB
It is fascinating to watch. It would be nice to imagine that the little guy redditors are sticking it to the man....but the reality is that most of them will lose their shirts and the big boys (absent a few short sellers) will be cleaning up on the back of the volatility they created.

Isn't that what basically happened with the housing market and CDOs (pulling on my extensive watching of The Big Short)
Interesting that Burry has a finger in this pie too. Might keep an eye on short % in future. Virgin Galactic is 2nd highest short % after GME currently... Also having a good run up

Still 4 hours till opening time - This has all the hallmarks of total and utter meltdown.....Either in a good way or a bad one....
Insane stuff - Genuinely good luck to anyone involved but staying well out of it.
I've had virgin galactic on my watchlist for a while. I figured as they progress towards getting people up there it's good for some short term jumps.

I've been in and out a few times when I should have just stayed in. Pretty volatile
I've connected the instant transfer thing now to my Starling account. It is instant.
Bank transfers tend to take a day, although I had one recently that went missing for a week and a half and I had to chase their support for....
