"Tests have shown that this car produces more g-force than the F16 jet fighter and its the fastest car on the road." That first claim... complete BS. F-16: can pull 9g. That's fitted with a full load of internal fuel and weapons. Hello, GLOC! (Gravity-induced Loss of Consciousness)...

If "their spread is not the best" and they charge no commissions, then, by default, they are a dealing desk dealer aka market maker aka bucketshop. In addition, any (glowing or not) recommendation of a forex dealer, without describing one's typical trade duration and news trading patterns...

nik1033, use the Complain button, that's what it's there for. If you must reply to the spammer, don't quote their post in your reply. Doing that 1) helps the spammer and 2) creates extra work for the moderator.

Sure thing, but those swap rates aren't IB. I quoted for reference what would be considered competitive retail forex rates, from Oanda. IB's rates per 100k lot are worse, because of their 1) tiers, 2) exclusion of the first ~$10K on the interest credit (not debit) side, 3) 0.25%-0.5% spread...

CFDs and spread betting (tax-free, BTW), while popular in the UK and a handful of other countries, are prohibited by the SEC and thus not available to US residents.

Sorry, just noticed your reply. The RIA regulations don't apply to investment advisers with less than $25 Million in AUM invested in securities. There are a number of other exemptions and prohibitions from registration as well. An overview may be found on the SEC website, with links to more...

Your example is extreme, but, sure, that would be a no trade for your account. Your personal performance record is going to differ somewhat from the official published record anyway, even with autotrading. Common reasons include non-identical fills for entries and exits; delayed, missed or...

Here's how the pros do it... live and learn. ;) "As did every firm on Wall Street, Morgan Stanley had a strategist, Byron Wein. Here was another guy who had outlived his usefulness. Byron was a nice old man, whose shtick was that he had been around the block a few times and knew...

2 pips... yeah, you are definitely being screwed. Which dealer? Typical retail overnight swap rates, in pips, should range from around -0.68 (long EUR/USD) to +0.36 (short EUR/USD), and from -0.12 (long GBP/USD) to -0.29 (short GBP/USD). IB's tiered rate tables are on their website...

"Exchange"? Good one. Agree, looks like they are an IB for "Forex Liquidity LLC", a registered FCM. Why aren't they registered with the CFTC and members of the NFA themselves? (Which would mean that FXLQ is itself in clear violation of the NFA rules.) Especially since SFCE is soliciting...

None taken. Hah... weird, wild stuff! Just like Jay Leno's weekly "Jaywalking" segments of yore (back when I was still watching TV). The "secret" is simple: look for, um, promising subjects on the street, edit out 95%++ of raw footage and keep just the most priceless bits. Can be pulled off...

Hey, any time. It is both a thought-provoking and fun read, isn't it? Now, before we take that stuff at face falue, more or less... I see that, according to surf's excellent first-hand account of the 'Black Swan' launch party, Nassim Taleb himself called that New Yorker article a "false...

Tough crowd.

That makes no sense to me. Why would the relocation company LIST the place for less than their COST and then SELL it for less still? - sell price < listing price ... obviously not uncommon, particularly for high-end properties - listing price < cost ... new RE math? Looks like...

The New Yorker article

The "impeccably brunette anchoress", hah. That's almost a perfect googlewhack, if not for the number of words. $6.8M in 2004, $6.5M in 2007... not a bad trade. What bubble?

Amazing. More arrogance. More replies to imaginary questions. More red herring metaphors. All apparently just to keep promoting your company's name and URL, so hard to find. Where in the OP do you see any mention of someone "having connection problems"? Or using "a dial up connection"...

Cute. A statement very far from reality. Niederhoffer: anything but 0 to anything but 9 figures. Let's not confuse a good record -- other than the occasional blow-up... excuse me, black swan -- with great marketing and connections; or confuse fund growth through raising OPM with organic...

Spectra, have you ever wondered why so many otherwise unbiased, fair-minded people somehow can't stand your company's ways? It has nothing to do with your ET Sponsor status per se. Take another look at the OP's perfectly reasonable and specific question. Then take a look at your...
