Most Americans right now don't trust their government, they probably would trust a regulated UK or Swiss broker no less.

Thanks. Naturally your compliance department would know. Look forward to what they say.

I'll say it again. A large broker in the UK told me that they won't open up accounts for US citizens unless they are accredited (wealthy). This broker claimed that the NFA set this rule in the US, implying that the regulation limits the citizen, and they the broker were just following and...

Can anyone, Jason, answer my question about whether US citizens are even allowed to trade retail Fx hrough foreign brokers without being accredited? Seems people keep dancing around this question.

What does any of this have to do with leverage? Does the CFTC approve the leverage that is set by futures exchanges? I don't know the answer to that I'm just asking.

Let's see some theories on the massive volume increase over the past week as well. That is supposed to be totally accidental?

Not seeing what you're seeing. You can hold VXX for months and contango won't be bad enough to eat away at the effects of gains from a major market leg down. Just look at the first year of performance from VXX to see this. And again, they are managing contango through a weighted roll on a daily...

Thanks I do have the Sinclair book for other purposes at the moment but I'll look at it in this light as well.

It doesn't work that way. VXX doesn't just hold front month. It has a rolling weighting that is rebalanced daily of front and 2nd month contracts. As each day passes the weighting changes in an effort to combat contango. http://ipathetn.com/pdf/vix-prospectus.pdf In any case it is a...

Notice how Zero is now going after the banks on this idiotic tax to try to capture some populist appeal. I don't think people will buy it or care. Too little, too late. What a fraud this guy is.

Realizing that VXX is not the perfect vehicle for VIX, considering that a) it is based on and meant to track VIX futures, not index rate, and b) can experience contango. That said, it still has very high negative correlation to S&P and I can see no better way to capture long term inverse...

Let's see if the people of Assachusetts can right their ship for just once or if they allow themselves to be used in an endless pursuit for the destruction of American liberty. It just might be worth sending some more money to Mr. Brown in the chance he can pull this one out. If he does it will...

WTF!!!! You're giving this assclown a pass based on him getting bad details from his assclown appointees? GTFOH. No. He knew exactly how bad things were and he helped make them worse by allowing business to twist in the wind without a resolution on future tax and healthcare policy (but I repeat...

Can you comment on the legality of allowing US retail customers to trade in your UK accounts if they are not accredited investors by US standards? I was told by one UK broker (a big one) that they are required to honor the CFTC/NFA guidelines and not permit US retail traders from opening...

Stop confusing things. This has nothing to do with currency futures, it's spot market only.

He's got quotes around his post. Either he has a source for that text or he made it up. Where's the link/source? Otherwise BS.

What is your online source for this story? Link please.

And why would there be increasing expectation of inflation? Oh right, because of Fed monetary policy. Back to square one you go now.

True in many senses, but there is a difference between Democrat and small C conservative. There are a lot of small C conservatives on the horizon. Don't give up hope just yet.
