This was the FX thread:- http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/no-forex-trading-for-ohio-and-arizona-customers-of-tos.298488/#post-4259038 oncemore-these messages were coming from the internal mail, and I replied on internal. Am calling them now to make sure the guy who sent the...

I emailed them and got the reply"This is a result of a thorough legal review of established brokerage regulations in your country, among many other countries." First thing that came to mind was China, until friends in Singapore received the same email. I saw a post here earlier saying that...

Oh dear, someone else that believes that there is no life outside of the USA? 420M People In China Have Internet Access, 99% Use Baidu For Search so that looks like 415 million+ users just for a start...

What they are really protesting about is the fact that they will no longer have time to pop over the harbour to Kowloon and visit their whores and mistresses. It has nothing whatsoever to do with business.

Any chance BarryL can learn how to use paragraphs instead of posting a huge unreadable blob of prose?
