On CAPS, 96% of the 605 members who have rated Interactive Brokers believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Earlier today, one of those bulls, RossMcIntyre, offered some consumer insight into the bull case:

I use Interactive Brokers to manage my portfolio of local and international stocks. In comparison to other discount brokers I have seen, their tools are far more sophisticated and they are able to offer their services at a fraction of the cost. However, I also see them as a first mover in offering their clients easy access to international stock markets. In this respect they have left the competition in the dust.
