The distinction I made (or at least was trying to make) was not at all about the reason; rather it was all about the context. If the underpinnings of the financial system were solid, a fraud, even one of the maginitude you speak of, can be handled by a bailout that probably leads to a...

I heard at the time and continue to hear, even in the better financial journals, that TARP was unprecedented and it strikes me as to just how ignorant what passes for sophisticated financial journalism is. The banking crisis that Tiberious stemmed is a meticulously documented threat to the...

Bry, I'm not saying he can't calculate it (and he should!) but this post of his makes it clear he does not know. luofeiyu Registered: Aug 2010 Posts: 15 10-25-13 06:38 AM it is unluck that the broker do not tell me by which method they calculate my balance when i ask for the...

You need to speak with someone at the firm who speaks Cantonese or else you need to have an fluent English speaker on your end, preferably in a conference call (Skype), but there must be a common language.

Amen.

They are not demanding anything. Understand there are cultural as well as language diferences and you should be calm. There is no indication they want to play a trick on you. Do you have someone that is fluent in English you could use on a conference call or, as has been suggested, ask if...

No

ND, do I recall correctly that in CL you have the overnight running seamlessly on your charts as opposed to those who run with just RTH? You may do it the same way for every instrument (or not) but CL is all that I trade.

This is excellent advice; much better than my earlier post. You should do precisely as he has advised. I agree that you will come out being made whole in the end -- whatever that amounts to -- but in the meantime this is exactly how you should proceed. Look for their error and point it out to...

Japan never really paid for the war. I don't mean that in some sort or moralistic way or as penance but strictly in a financial sense. The did not go into the war as a modern industrial nation yet even though they came out in rather rough shape they decided to leap into the race on borrowed...

I don't have the time in the next day or two to review your calculations but the SS approach you take strikes me as a logical and correct way to approach this. Maybe others can comment. I do think you are better off using as few words as possible when communicating with the broker and I...

A few words: Why would I turn down cheap rates in a currency that is likely to depreciate steadly over the next few decades. I believe any trader that thinks borrowing money at say 5% needs psychiatric help. Borrow sanely, buy hard assets ... and live within your means. But buy all means do...

AMP's base monthly cost is probably zero and TT has a tiny incremental cost. They are both hoping the guy that gives them just a few turns a month to start will end up giving them hundreds later on.

There might be a language barrier. Write out your problem, show what you intend to send by email to someone who is fluent (very fluent) in English and have them edit it. Get you objection on the record in writing quickly.

No, you have company.

No, you have company.

I'm not an equity investor/trader but I simply do not get the attitude that seems to say I should not be long a market that is in a prolonged bull market just because that bull market will someday end. The guys here that are long and have some skill will observe the individual stocks that run...

It might help to show us a pattern(s).

In the 60's a poll was taken in West Germany among retirees and one of the questions was (to the effect) what was the most frightening period of your life. Apparently for most it was in the early 1920's during the Weimar inflation not during WWll. My ex-partner's family were German Jews who...

I think there is an important additional point to make about where the money will go. In most businesses a very large chunk of the money will go to those that are serious about the work but a fair sized chunk will remain and go to those who are semi-serious about the work. But not in this...
