barrons2	Sandler O'Neill analyst Richard Repetto thinks the MF taint may be at work here, and hastens to point out how "Interactive Brokers is not MF Global." While the Greenwich, Conn., firm assumes principal risk, Repetto has faith in its rigorous risk management, especially its system for calibrating real-time margins. In fact, market turmoil generally is good news for Interactive Brokers. The firm makes markets electronically in 350,000 securities and products around the world, and also operates a low-cost electronic brokerage firm. Both benefit from the kind of volatility roiling the stock market this quarter, since it drives increased trading of options and futures. In fact, chatter abounds that rival market makers -- especially those affiliated with Wall Street banks or firms -- recently are taking a more conservative tack and aren't quoting prices as aggressively as before. This potentially reduces competition and allows Interactive Brokers "to generate wider spreads and capture more market share," Repetto says. And at about 30, shares trade at a reasonable 15.6 times projected 2008 profits.	Love	March 08, 2008
rd1	Im a buyer on this one...there is a good reason why peterffy owns 85% of this company. He is a brilliant self educated individual and you should invest your money with brilliant people. I mean christ, he was the first one to bring a computer pricing model to the floor and taught himself programming in the 70's a time when it was like teaching yourself rocket science. This company is more in line with the future of an evolving industry than any of its competitors.	Love	October 08, 2007

Barrons	From Barron's 7-30-07: "Interactive Brokers is a discount broker and derivatives market maker, whose shares are 23% below their May 4 IPO price of $30. The stock valuation, a bit rich at the IPO price, is a reasonable 14 times 2008 profits. Interactive, interestingly, would benefit from an M&A slowdown -- it gets gaffed when traders use options to front-run unannounced deals."	Love	July 28, 2007

Barrons	From Barron's 6-18-07: Buy - Price 28.70 on June 13 by Sandler O'Neill & Partners With 15.9% market share of exchange-listed equity-options volume traded worldwide last year, we believe IBKR is well-positioned to take advantage of the strong secular growth in option volumes. From 2001-'06, the compound annual growth rate from global options was 18%, while U.S. options grew 20.9%, and exchange-traded derivatives grew 34%. This growth has accelerated over the past two years. Penny-pricing, while a risk, is also a potential positive for volume. In January, the Securities and Exchange Commission began a pilot program to trade options on 13 securities in reduced increments. Initial results from the pilot appear to show that volume increases outweigh declines in profitability for market makers. But the SEC has not [yet] decided whether to extend or expand the pilot. While [an] expanded pilot might have negative implications for IBKR's trading profitability, tighter spreads might also lead to volume growth that offsets any effect on trading gains ...We expect IBKR to earn $1.32 per share in 2007 and $1.58 in 2008. Our $32 price target is based on a 20 times multiple of our 2008 EPS projection. We justify this multiple based on our projection for 19.7% earnings growth in 2008 and a P/E to growth ratio of 1 time.	Love	June 16, 2007
