Okay back in now, was getting 30% packet loss at certain servers in asia?

Nonsense I am having major trouble connecting for at least an hour now??

Anyone who pays that for sex, clearly has absolutely no sense of perspective on anything

Give yourself a break, walk away, you need time to come to terms with the loss. You are way to emotional to be trading.

My heart goes out to I have had a similar type of situation (Its a long story) but basically had to sweat being short, and unable to do anything for a week. Of course it cost me money. Basically its a shit one!

What gets me is that, it is precisely hedge funds that are supposed to be buying these types of markets, instead they (ok some) are getting pummeled. I have zero sympathy, ifr the game was so easy we would all be rich. But to charge two and twenty for this kind of thing, is akin to fraud.

The french are very hung up on what degree you have and where you got. Pity Mr Market doesn't give a crap.

It was three days, but basically you are exactly right. They should be hung drawn and quartered for the fools they are.

Interesting that its made a new high!

What are their rates, I have tried looking on the website to no avail. Options on the KOSPI at IB you pay.2%

I fact Jerome is not being investigated or charged with fraud! His lawyer correctly stated that shockgen threw him to the dogs. As a socgen customer I am disgusted. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7214716.stm

Enough said http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=115947 The entire top management team should be sacked and sued.

Quote: "For its part, Soc Gen at first portrayed it as triumph snatched from disaster. As Bouton said later: “Had we not acted swiftly, the loss could have been 10 times worse.”" So this idiot thinks they could have lost EURO50billion. So the DAX STOXX50 and FTSE all went to Zero...

Do you think they helped cause the panic on monday?
