Hmmmm, this explains a lot. Some around here, myself included, must be from that branch of the "family"! :p

:D

It's easy to get rich quick, but not in forex. You should do what I did: A very nice Nigerian fellow who was handling the estate of the late General Mbowegomo for his widow, Nanaiah, recently contacted me. The estate, in a secret Nigerian bank account, is worth $12 million and I get half...

Broken, You sound a lot like Gordon Gekko (who, coincidentally, recently posted again after about a year). I'm a long time ETer, various nicks, who remembers your struggle. Are you GG? If you are, it won't hurt to say. After all, you won't be trading any more. I'm just curious...

Props to fly. When this whole thing started, it was barely on anybody's radar. And fly did say it was very big and would, soon enough, be MUCH more than the ravings of a "crackpot" like PB. Well, he was right. Plenty of cockroaches scurrying now and it seems to be building steam rapidly...

If you ain't buyin' - You gonna be cryin'! LONG, BABY!!!! :cool: Time for heroes (and fools?) to make a stand. Let 'em rip.

Yes, we do... :D

Interesting thread, thirst. But, sheesh...the money you throw around on these trades... I know you are a very experienced trader and have a decent size account, but even a great system could easily bust your account with that kind of risk. :( But then I'm kind of a grind-it-out...

Wine is fine but whiskey's quicker Suicide is slow with liquor Take a bottle and drown your sorrows Then it floods away tomorrows Evil thoughts and evil doings Cold, alone you hang in ruins Thought that you'd escape the reaper You can't escape the master keeper 'cause you feel like...

Hopefully some more experienced traders will stop by. I've been actively trading since '99 with three different brokers, but I haven't heard of action like that from the broker. A forced "buy-in" of a short is, of course, no big deal and happens all the time, but to not care whether or not...

Good lord, get a new broker! Name 'em and shame 'em.
