The point is not whether any "SEC regulated account" has seen a loss due to insolvency. The point is whether one of the viewers of a show like Cramers might have been concerned about liquidity. For instance, I read quite a number of posts yesterday between here and another site where people...

The thing is, not once in the video does anyone, Cramer or the viewer, mention the word "stock" or "sell". Instead they use a word like "liquidity". Ask yourself this, rather than trying to interpret through your own eyes what the video says, why not just listen to exactly what was said...

Geezuz "new guy" this is priceless. I been taking money off of guys like you for decades....guys that can't READ or LISTEN. I blame the school system, but I'm starting to think that some of you guys are just plain stupid. OldTrader

OK, evidently you still don't get it. LOL. Once again, futures are not covered. Period. So you don't "use the insurance for futures". There aren't any special clauses to worry about in terms of futures, because they aren't covered. SIPC is widespread at SECURITIES firms, which is...

"Should I be worried about Bear Stearns in terms of LIQUIDITY and get my money out of there?" Which part of that are you having trouble with you idiot? Is English your first language? Is there anywhere in the video that says "Should I sell my Bear Stearns?" Take it all back, it's not a...

Obviously accuracy is not your strong suit. You might try LISTENING to your own video, and READING the question in the box on the left. OldTrader

No, you didn't read my post. Let's try this again. No futures brokers insure their accounts. There is no equivalent of FDIC or SIPC at a futures broker. So, your futures are not covered, your futures options are not covered, your cash is not covered. One of the benefits of IB is that...

Actually, securities accounts are not covered by FDIC. That's your bank account. Try SIPC. OldTrader

Right, no protection for futures. That's true everywhere. These are held in a segregated account. At IB however, funds not directly used for a futures position or as futures margin are held in the securities account and are insured under SIPC. At most futures firms this would not be the...

The description of the Lloyd's policy is confusing. It has an "aggregate limit" of $150mm. I assume that is intended to cover all customers...that's what "aggregate" means to me. But unfortunately, what we don't know is how many customers have cash in excess of $100K, the SIPC limit, and how...

OK, well go read your own link. You misread it. SIPC is as I said. IB also has Lloyds policy subject to an aggregate of $150 MM. OldTrader

I didn't say there weren't rumors. Undoubtedly there are plenty of those. I thought the question had to do with the "news". You don't need news to move a stock, especially a brokerage stock after the Bear situation. Oldtrader

I'm not aware of any $150 million limit on SIPC. The limit is $500K ($100K cash) per customer. If you read that somewhere, please provide a link. OldTrader

I doubt if there's any "news". Brokers are all under pressure to one degree or another. And chances are they are all facing withdrawals to one degree or another as well. OldTrader

I doubt if your landlord had 4 owner occupied homes. Did you actually see these loan documents? Or did your landlord "tell" you this. I guess you understand there's a certain amount of fish story in all of this...but maybe you're a guy who believes anything. 80/15/5....where the 5% was...

I don't know if your point is valid or not. It kinda got lost in your misinformation about Rogers. What was your point? And this time don't use Rogers to make it. OldTrader

More bum information. According to Rogers he shorted gold at $675. (Market Wizards interview). This was about 4-5 days prior to the peak in the parabolic move to $850. He says absolutely nothing about averaging in. I was around for that move. If you didn't get short before the peak, you...

You know Pabst, I've followed Rogers a long time. He's been long bonds, and short bonds, at various times. Your statement is completely false. You and Landis appear to be smoking the same stuff. OldTrader Edit: By the way, he is also short the investment banks here. Don't recall if...

Cutten: Exactly. Excellent post. I'm in total agreement. Very well said. I see Landis bashing Rogers for no apparent reason in a variety of posts, without ever having posted a single fact. You know, I'm completely convinced from having listened to this guy, read what he had to say, for...

Say Bob, I assume that answered your question. One wouldn't know because you're still bitching. I will also assume that you no longer think it's "fraud". LOL! By the way, there are any number of brokers that don't show quotes from specific exchanges to their customers. Nor do they allow...
