Whats the reasoning for this, it says: ‘BUY orders are temporarily restricted as per our intermediary. Awaiting further information.’ I dont see this on any others and BP is not a super volatile or high volume stock so curious? As I may wan to ad more with prices getting suppressed with the market. ---

We have been investigating the matter ever since the complication arose and we’ve identified that the core of the problem lies within IB. We are cooperating with them to find a reasonable solution in a timely manner. As always, we’ll keep you posted for further updates. ---

Fair enough, I jokingly thought is it maybe just BP going MENTAL with their buybacks, although they are almost at the £500m limit already in recent weeks. ---

I wonder what happened here, was @Hbomb orchestrating a mahoosive pump-and-dump scheme on a $60bn company, forcing the regulators and IB to step in to shut it down? 🕵️‍♂️😆
