Most STOCK brokers have extra insurance over the SIPC coverage. No commodity futures broker offers insurance coverage on money being used for margin. If the broker is registered as a stock broker and a futures broker, then funds not being designated as margin on a futures contract can be placed...

Does the specialist take the other side of the trade if an imbalance exists at 4:00 pm? In other words, are all orders filled despite an imbalance? Specialist are charged with the responsibility to try and maintain an orderly market but they are never required to buy/sell a stock. When...

Insiders have been feeding the news media every since trading began. The media is always seeking information from the insiders to report as the 'gospel' truth whether it is the print media or talking heads on TV. Take any 'news' with a grain of salt. Do your own reseach. Remember that if anyone...

Where in the hell have you been???? Every meathead liberal in the media have been blaming her from day one before they even knew the shooter was a nut case. Wakeup and quit spewing your nonsease. As you libs like to say, some mentally disturbed people may believe it!!!

I would plot supply on the diagram as the price and demand as the number of bidders at each price level. There is no elasticity of supply since there is only one of the product. Buyers have to accept the prevailing price or be out of the market. Demand would not increase or decrease the supply...

There is no thinking about it. They need someone to blame for failed policies. They are only helping to keep her name in the spotlight!

Unless the CFTC or NFA have changed the rules since years ago when I was involved in the commodity futures business, there is NO protection for customer funds being held by Future Commission Merchants (FCM) regardless of the financial size of the firm. There was no regulation in a futures...

From the very beginning, it has been the mainstream media and liberal politicians assigning blame to Palin, Limbaugh, The Tea Party and Fox News. Despite the fact that there is completely ZERO evidence that the shooter was motivated by anything said by conservatives, the media has implied that...

Before I became a father, I felt sorry for a family that had lost a child. Now that I have a son of my own, I really know the feelings of a family that has lost a child. Hard as it may seem, the reality of losing a child is different when you are a parent.

Article by Associate Press Dated 01-12-2011: Police in Nashville, Tennessee are reviewing the classification of hundreds of sexual crime reports after a news investigation showed that the department was labeling a large percentage as "matter of record" that were not included in annual crime...

It is obvious you have never open an account with an introducing broker. An IB never handles your funds. All checks are made payable to the clearing brokerage. Please explain how someone who has never had your funds or access to your money can 'fraud you out of your money'? I was an IB for...

Your comment is ridiculous. I do not know Mr. Howard Lender and had never heard of his firm until today. Any information I have about them came from the NFA website which is available to anyone. As for myself, I have been retired about ten years. But I was a registered CPO, CTA, AP and...

"We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions." - Ronald Reagan

If history has shown anything, it has shown that people should think for themselves and not blindly follow what someone else has proclaimed to be the truth.

Sounds good but it ain't true. The people can choose from the candidates that have the financial support of the ruling class. A poor man has about much chance as being elected as a one legged man has in an ass kicking contest.

All cash accounts are suppose to be segregated. You can have securities, both listed and OTC, and/or cash in a segregated account. Cash account does not mean that all assets are in cash only that margin is not being used. Unless the rules have been changed since I was involved in the business...

I suppose if one is 'short', he has to be :) :D

This "rule" works like clockwork. It never fails. The insiders live by it. This is how they sell their long 'investment' accounts on the way up and sell short at the top in their trading account for a hedge on the way down. At the bottom they reload their investment accounts as investors cut...
