I want to trade on IEX
This is a serious issue for me, a deal breaker that I can't. Calling in has only led to being blown off. I want to trade on the IEX exchange, I WILL leave to a broker that doesn't prevent me from getting a fair value on my trades.
Adding IEX trading on Fidelity
Fidelity, I enjoy using your brokerage, but I am concerned that I am not able to route my orders through IEX exchange. Please address this as soon as possible because, while I enjoy using your service, I will have to change to a different brokerage if this issue is not addressed in a timely manner. Thank you.
Please make an IEX sticky thread or daily threads
I understand why people want IEX routing. While it’s low priority to me I think it would be cool. However, the constant multiple daily posts about it (and days like today where it seems like around 2am EST a bunch of folks all decided to spam here about it) make this forum feel completely full of spam making the forum less pleasant for other users.

Wealthsimple wants me to take a selfie?
Good afternoon everyone, i got an email from ws trade earlier today stating that I need to confirm my tax residencies with wealthsimple. I get to the very last step and it's asking me to take a picture of a piece of photo ID and also a selfie. Did anyone else go through this process ??
Android app is embarrassingly slow!
As a simple as wealthsimple is there is one major draw back that irks the hell out me. Why on God's green earth does the app take 3+ seconds to respond per character when I am inputting a buy/sell limit price? It literally takes almost 10 seconds to type 3 digits which should only take a fraction of a second to input.
Wealthsimple app update from today has multiple bugs and spelling errors
Just a heads up for users of the app, there was an update today that has some minor bugs and spelling mistakes.
Help finishing profile
To those reading this I hope you are well and appreciate your time. Maybe I am missing something but the app won’t let me get past finishing my profile, the last step is invite friends, get free cash. I have inviting two friends but i’m wondering if they will have to sign up before i can even use the app. thanks again for your time

Building an operating system for the future
Salesforce's acquisition-happy strategy is well known, but some investors aren't fans. The last few years in particular have featured big blockbuster deals (MuleSoft, Tableau, now Slack) punctuated by smaller ones along the way.
Turning blockbuster purchases into game-changing services
There's reason to believe this will work. Benioff has been masterful at plugging acquisitions into Salesforce and growing them into something much larger than the sum of their parts. Take the Commerce and Marketing Cloud segments, started up a few years ago (primarily with Demandware in 2016, purchased for $2.8 billion).
