I have found the ignore feature, and it works very well :)

I have just learned how to use the ignore feature on here. It works great -- the people you dislike disappear instantly in their entirety -- fabulous technology. Try it, it works :) No need to get your panties in a twist, just click the Ignore Button.

I think you are correct. Btw, what date did that WSJ article get published and where was it published. Please let me know.

Here here. I concur. It's the Red Herring Crew. You're best served not even dignifying their existence. The readers can distinguish between contribution and attack/diversion.

I concur. The debate seems to be over the treatment of the customer accounts; are they assets of Refco or the account owners?

That was in yesterday's edition of the WSJ or it was on the website wsj.com or both?

Woops, sorry my mistake, I was low at 890K, it was a NINE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR FINE against Refco.

If you were completely unaware of what was going on in your roomate example, no of course you wouldn't. However, I don't like your example. It's much too narrow. What we're talking about here in the case of RefcoFX and FXCM is a whole firm on the same floor as another whole firm. They...

Yep, fine by me, but you conveniently avoided my questions again. What I surmise from this is that Jim got the better of you one too many times and your fragile little ego can't take it. Therefore, you have to keep responding to Jim Rockford to make someone believe what you're saying has...

You're completely missing the point. His contribution is the fact that he a great list that if applied to the due diligence with the NEXT broker someone chooses, they can avoid being Refco'd again. And please answer my questions in my previous response to you. You conveniently avoided them...

Sure. Jim has given an excellent list with which to conduct due diligence about any FX spot broker and regardless if it was posted here prior to Refco's demise or not it is a good list to evaluate any broker with. If one followed that checklist one wouldn't become a RefcoFX customer. They...

I find Jim Rockford's posts very helpful most of the time. In fact he has validated most of what my suspicions about Refco were. So for me, for one, that has been very helpful. In fact if he is such a waste of time, why do you continue to respond to him? I wish I had read Jim...

If you're a RefocFX account holder, there are several of us talking and discussing the situation. If you'd like to know what is going on (press releases, news stories, etc.), that will specifically effect RefcoFX account holders that is what this group is about. Also if there are legal...

Well it seems clear that if Refco paid the kind of fine that they did that they weren't innocent. It also seems clear that when a large company like Refco has a record of being fined by the CFTC that is a clear sign that poor management was in place. Correct me if I am wrong but that fine was...

Great advice.

What do you think they're up to then?

A very good idea for evidencing account balance.

He didn't have an axe to grind which is why I found his statement useful. If the judge treats each unit independently from one another this could be useful as it would presumably increase the value of this unit, which might mean the account holders would be made whole (yes I realize this is a...
