Phenom, You sound a little bitter. Were you canned from Mac? All firms have their ups and owns. I know of no overall firm in this space that clears futures, equites, options, bonds, etc as well as Refco. Their overall business dominates the multinational space. Good luck.

When I first posted a guess at the rumour, LRD PM'd me that that was not the rumour he heard. I do not want to violate a PM, so I suggest you PM him directly and ask. I don't think he is hiding as much as he is trying to protect his journalistic integrity by not posting rumours. We can...

Search for planet too. Some on not grounded on earth here.

JoMama, I for one think you have a great future trading. You clearly recognize patterns including the example of how long it took your friend in the same field to get a job. I would not get a job. I would try my hand at trtading. i also would not force myself to get rid of the short bias...

If this is regarding the Chicago office of Macfutures, is the person in question a man named Gould? What did he do (or not do)? Is it true that the CFTC is investigating?

A while back, First Options had space on Lake Cook. Have not heard about it in a few years, but then again I haven't cared. I would call them.

My 1040 forms.

The NYSE closed for Nixon why not Reagan? Could use the 3 day weekend.

Conversions themselves are legal. It is the use of them after you put them on that may create a regulatory liability. If you are using them to circumvent the short sale rule then you are guilty of manipulation and other wonderful things. If your trading strategy is so dependent on needing...
