As we draw nearer to the Senate Agricultural Subcommittee hearing on Dec. 13th, and the Financial Services Committee on Dec. 15th, it will become increasingly important for us (traders, investors, managers, brokers, etc.), to exert pressure on US authorities to BRING CRIMINAL CHARGES against Jon...

+1. Kr*gman isn't talking about a small increase in taxes, let's say 37% to 42% tax rate, etc. He is talking about something PUNITIVE. Commissions on let's say crude oil future, would go from let's say $4 to $25 on EVERY TRADE. Instead, we should propose a tax for every word Kr*gman...

Let's follow Stephen Roach's advice. This imbecile is out of control and the [sh*tty] NYT actually publishes his ramblings. The problem with higher taxes is that the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL JUST WASTE THE MONEY anyway! It's not like it's going towards productive purposes. I grew up...

My belief, based on available information, is that MF clients will eventually receive approximately 88% of their funds, with the remaining 12% to be pursued through either distributions from CME Group/Regulators/etc. and lawsuits. Those executives responsible for committing theft of client...

CTAs in Chicago; CME and CBOT members. I agree with you, of course.... F*ck R*hm Emannuel and these other crooks. Our futures markets were sacrosanct; this NY *hole and I-banker types screwed up a very good 200-year old company.

That company is NOT a 'large commodities fund.' They don't manage any money at all. What a silly viewpoint!!! AT OUR CTA, WE'RE STILL DOING BUSINESS and opening new accounts at stable, privately-held FCMs, like Dorman Trading, Rosenthal Collins Group and others. Look, MF Customers...

It will never see the light of day. Defazio (OR) is a f*cking idiot, and Bernie Sanders couldn't run a business if his life depended on it. ULtimately, the proposal will fail because the tax simply doesn't make sense. How can a trader LOSE on a trade and still pay tax?! Shows how...

With this great success, Corzine will surely be offered a position as OBAMA'S TOP ECONOMIC ADVISER FOR 2012!! GO OBAMA!!!!

Sub-chapter "S" because I own 100% of the company. Just because LLC has "limited liability" in it does not necessarily mean you have an additional layer of protection! Most of the S&P 500 is incorporated in Delaware, and some would consider it to be the "standard."

Most CTAs (NOT CPOs) are corporations or LLC. We are a Delaware Corporation.

I agree with Dr. Ron Paul - let's abolish the Dept. of Education. They SHOULD be teaching our young people: #1 - Personal Finance, from a younger age, prob. about 13 #2 - SALES, for those socially inclined.

Some really nice & honest people work at MF Global in Chicago. I should know, because I worked there. Very few FCMs are making money because thanks to Bernanke's incompetence, the float is 0.25%. Hopefully they will find a way to navigate the turmoil and focus on making better decisions...

I don't judge anybody by the way they look but my personal opinion is that if the Republican party wants to win this next election, they will need to run a white, Christian man. Options: Romney Dr. Paul Perry *I strongly prefer DR. Paul.

These people outside the Chicago Board of Trade need to take their protests to Washington...where their beloved Barry Soetero and a traitorous Congress spent $4 TRILLION USD in the past four years and achieved NOTHING. Lots of people in finance work hard for a living and are NOT BEING BAILED...

Got through on chat: You are now chatting with 'Chris' WE ARE CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING A TEMPORARY OUTAGE. WE ARE WORKING TO RESOLVE THIS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

Safe to say they're aware of the problem. Let's hope it's resolved soon. We've maintained an account with OXP, formerly XPressTrade (a non-clearing FCM) for over four years. I'm sure they'll get it back up and running shortly. ::crosses fingers::

Really? I've worked in brokerage before, so I'm hesitant to call via telephone unless I really need to. I'm still waiting on LIVE CHAT.

Is anyone having problems logging into OptionsXpress? I took a walk around the block, came back, my account was signed off and it won't let me back in. Am currently waiting on 'live chat'...

You're considering entering medicine for absolutely the WRONG reasons, and you won't make it through. If you had medicine in your heart you wouldn't be on this forum. Study econ, learn the value of cash flow in your personal finances, and study price action for 10,000 hours with no...

Sun-Tsu, as evidenced in "Art of War." Buying markets near support and selling markets near resistance is similar to fighting a war on uneven terrain, where the stronger force is atop the hill and the invading force is inherently at a disadvantage.
