    PFG freezes accounts, CEO attempts suicide

    Bonuses for the regulators? In this environment? They should all be put on notice, and if they do not perform exceptionally, their jobs should be advertised. What amazes me is how a large minority of the US lives in a bubble. This needs to be well and truly burst. There are plenty of...

    I wouldn't expect emg to educate you. He found his mba in a christmas cracker.

    PFG freezes accounts, CEO attempts suicide

    It's a shame that Corzine didn't try. Still there is time. We live in hope. Maybe someone can help him. Get these two together for a game of russian roulette.

    Can your broker see the trades you are placing ?

    I have traded at a number of different firms and found my fills varied markedly at the last few firms that I've traded with in Chicago. Recently I traded with a big non-prop Chicago broker. Seemed I couldn't get a good fill and got stopped out more than ever before in my career. It was my...

    Is another bout of QE a good thing?

    Prices are certainly rising significantly in terms of insurance. Every 6 months my insurer sends me a letter to tell me that my healthcare insurance is going up 25-30%. Extortion is the word for it. & taxes are going up, there's no doubt about that. However, it really is a mixed bag. I live...

    MF Global full payback to customers unlikely

    That is the most stupid statement that I have seen on this site in a while. Congratulations -You are a fucking idiot.

    leasing a CBOT membership

    Yes they are wrong. Best you call the CME to clear this up for your own peace of mind. Just ask the simple question -the ladies at membership are friendly to deal with.

    leasing a CBOT membership

    In my experience the clearer takes care of everything. They just give me the contracts to sign. It's all standardized. I haven't ever really got involved in the process -just told my clearer what to do.

    leasing a CBOT membership

    No. Well you can trade Ags with the others but you will be paying non-member rates.

    leasing a CBOT membership

    You need a full membership to trade ags -thats a B1. The website has a lot of info on it -if you can't find what you need then call up the CME and ask to be put through to Membership. I've found them to be helpful.

    Another Uk Prop Firm Goes Under - Marex Bails Out Schneider

    I thought that Schneider had a clearing relationship with MFGlobal. Perhaps this is a delayed reaction? If that's the case then maybe Sonny has either lost too much capital or just simply lost the desire to risk his capital.

    MFGlobal Payouts

    Are any further payouts imminent? I haven't signed the letter from the scumbag lawyers yet but would seriously consider it if there was a good chance of money coming my way. I remember when I first got the letter there was a story about that more money was on the way. Strikes me that the story...

    Elizabeth Warren calls on J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to resign

    No question he should resign from the NY Fed -can't fault anything she has to say in the interview. Given JPMs rap sheet -if he had any shame he would resign from JPM too. He's a sociopath though so there is no chance of that happening. What made me laugh was in the reporting in the UK press...

    CME/CBOT Seat Leases -Why have they just dropped in value?

    I was just looking at the cbot AM leases and noticed that while the price is roughly $1300/month, there are several seat offered below $1000, one even at $700. Does anyone know why the seat prices and lease prices have just taken a beating?

    HFT regulation debate

    You are not much of an advert for higher education. All your friends are losers and you spend your day like a retarded troll, parroting the same quote ad naseum. Where did you get your MBA -in a cracker?

    MFGlobal bankruptcy claims

    90 cents is for account balances well into six figures isn't it? Massive haircut for the rest I would imagine.

    MFGlobal bankruptcy claims

    Well I am ashamed to admit that I will probably cave-in and sign the letter. I don't want to miss out on any potential future pay outs. I think the letter stinks and have nothing but contempt for Giddens in this whole affair, but what are the other options? I don't see any info or support...

    Official End Of Hft - Countdown Thread - 66 Days Left

    Just to put this into perspective; less than 10 years ago Eurex updated its prices every second, no faster. To my knowledge most people weren't aware of this at the time because it didn't affect their trading -not even the fast point and clickers. I don't agree with the description that it...
