For the record, I do think Don Bright is a great guy. His posts on here are very informative and it would be hard to say anything negative directly about him. In regards to Bright Trading, I do feel it is a great firm as well. It's been around for years and does have an excellent...

No agenda, just trying to find out information. It's just frustrating seeing them closing down offices when I want to see them opening offices. And then when you go to find a location, it's difficult to track them down. I check the About BT section, I searched the site and could not find...
