Not to worry. People will pretend to pay taxes. It's a win win.

I can see why you hate them, then.

Yes and No. Yes it's an ECN and all money in your account is swept into their universal account which has SIPC protection (do a search on RefcoFx) plus you can hedge the futures against the cash and vice versa all from the same account. No, it's order management system is not as fluid as...

There are 2 types of brokers in retail fx: ECN's and dealing desks: ECN's are considered "straight-thru-processing" in that the prices you see are the prices being quoted in the open market, similar to your stock quotes. Your trades are executed with people from a variety of fx brokers or even...

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Circuit City Stores Inc., the No. 2 electronics seller, filed for bankruptcy protection Monday, thus becoming the latest retailer hurt by a worsening economic downturn. According to the company's Chapter 11 filing with the U.S. bankruptcy court in Richmond, Va...

Where were you guys when we needed you? We could have used the both of you working on the Obama campaign. Your "experience" would have come in handy. :D

A friend works at an architectural firm in NYC and they just let 60 people go, which means they are thinking about 5 yrs from now. Not good.

This is probably just a start. Remember, downtown we got 85 Broad getting vacated over the next 2 years as Goldman moves into its new tower, Merrill will probably move most of it's operations to the new BoA building uptown (Merrills lease in WFC expires in 2011 I think), Chase's office...

BBB is still here. Linens and Things got whacked. Circuit City probably goes after the holidays.

You're already beginning to see a slight decline on office rents in NYC. Not so much as to elicit a "Wahoo!" but I have been noticing a $1-5 dollar shave off some B class buildings and a few A class.

This has been tried already and pretty much been proven to be an abject failure which took nearly 3 decades to repair. Welfare, the great social experiment of the Kennedy/Johnson era. Anyone feeling nostalgic for Detroit or NYC of the 1970's?

What is your definition of good? low rates, high leverage, good training, been around longer than a month, consistent payouts, platform, etc. You got to define what you want in your firm to get a better response than the obvious shill posting like above (BTW, not talking about CyGroup)...

He's been right about this market more than he's been wrong. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss him. But I wouldn't take everything he says for gospel either. It's just another piece of info you should use to make your own analysis.

Checks can (and I can personally attest have had) bounce more than a month after funds supposedly cleared the other bank. Of course, rare exception. But even tho they say funds are held for 10 days to be sure that they will pass muster, sh-t like this can happen. To prevent fraud, this is...

K or M, what difference does it make what you implied. I think a valid question was asked about your business plan: you HAVE been bitching about this firm for a year now? Why are you still with them if they give you such crappy service and execution, especially if you manage money for other...
