    SIPC Liquidating Madoff Investment Securities

    They may be protected: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081215/ap_on_bi_ge/wall_street_arrest Which I think is total BS. They wanted the extra return, well they should accept the risk. They could have easily gotten 5% in a long term CD over the last 10 years but they wanted the 10%+ returns.

    Hold Brothers job

    If you work there as a trader, you have to pay for your health insurance. It runs around 400/month including dental. There isn't a salary as far as I know. I don't believe they are hiring traders. It may be as Keith stated, that one of their satellite offices is hiring.

    Bank of America Brokerage

I guess I will give them a try and compare fills to make sure they are up to par with IB and my Prop account. Ican always...

    Russia waiting for collase and breakup of USA

    "When asked who would replace the U.S. in regulating world markets, he said: "Two countries could assume this role: China, with its vast reserves, and Russia, which could play the role of a regulator in Eurasia." That is rediculous, China can't regulate the quality of it's own food and...

    WSJ: SEC Charges Mark Cuban With Insider Trading

    He has only been charged of insider trading, he has not been convicted of insider trading. These cases are often tough to prove, he may eventually settle for less the 250K. I would even say less then 100K.

    When are we going to wise up and call the health care industry the SCAM that it is

    A great place to start fixing real problems is to attack immigrants? I guess people really never do change. If you could offer some stats on how much these "illegals" are costing the system maybe you might be taken more seriously instead of just a being taken as a racist. Are you a Native...

    Velez Capital

    First of all at .02 per share you have what I would think a probability of 90% of failing at trading. Factoring in the 50-50 profit split after fees, and I would increase the probability of failure to 95%. Adding in the buying power constraint and your probabilty of failure rises to 99.9%...

    Another example of the insiders club

    If this is the case, shouldn't have this been made public? Could it be HIG(Hartford). That stock has been beaten up. Where is the SEC filing warning investors of the inability to continue as a going concern? I guess only Senators get those memo's. That is great!!!
