I'm not sure even Buffet can afford the amount of help you need but I will split the cost of an initial consultation (up to a $200 max bill) with you so you can get at least the start of the process under your belt. Is that a reasonable enough proposition for you?

The UK and the virtue of not being in a currency union.

lol ... you need a team of psychiatrists. It's one thing for a society to recognize that prostitution will always be with us so we should not marginalize those that do it but it is a whole different kettle of fish to think that a woman who may be willing to wash pots or clean toilets to stay...

You took the words right out of my mouth!

I have no comment on your specific situation ... save one: Most traders find they lose five or ten times the amount of any screw up in the ensuing weeks. I'm not suggesting if there are things you can -- although I doubt there are -- to reverse the trade you should ignore them. But I am...

At the urging of my wife I am actually considering letting someone watch some of my trading for 60 or 90 days. Here is why: We are accustomed to travelling a great deal -- mostly in Europe -- yet have actually traveled very little in the past three years as I have devoted myself to learning...

I have no quibble with your skepticism. Anyone who is not in a doubting mood when it comes to these clowns needs professional help. But to be knee jerk gloomy ignores the facts. In this specific case they know nearly to the penny where Penson stands and if there are shortfalls it would have...

No ... the CME (or whoever the primary exchange for Penson is) is all over them ... like flies on shit. There are no surprises here. If the plug is pulled the account transfers will be prepacked and happen in days not weeks. That's why there has been no mad scramble by the IB's. I am sure...

At those rates Don you must already be packing a bag and booking a flight ... lol. BTW ... some years back you were an active participant -- I was just an observer -- in what might have been the best thread ever on ET. You and Maverick74 went back and forth discussing real Tape Reading (not...

As much as I love a useless debate this one is not only not worth the candle it is to the point where even in sunlight it is not worth the keystroke. I'm outta here!!

No one ever went broke paying the occasional "extra" wire fee. You went, I assume, from segregated status -- think MF Global -- to FDIC insured.

While you are correct, Crazy A, I doubt anyone thinks that Soros has a lot to learn from Al.

Yes ... of course. I have three brokerage relationships. Two of them have very low margin requirements, great rates and great service. I never keep over 7 or 8K at either and am prepared to lose the principal if either or both go down. I keep higher cash balances at !B yet still below the...

If they were listed on major exchanges the Times and other publications have their papers on microfiche or other media.

Were they listed securities and if so what exchanges?

Thank you Hurricane. You have placed me in some august company and I will redouble my efforts as I strive to belong in such a grouping.

+ 10,000 EVERYONE -- this guy gets it. And he gets it 100%!! I tip my hat to you sir.

My God ... jump already. Put yourself out of this misery you seem to think is a freakin' life!!!

I do not know anything about Eagle but i can tell you that DeepDiscount is in addition to being very well priced gives you top service and has a small but very professional clearing firm -- Crossland -- behind them. I deal with IB and DeepDiscount and am happy with both.

BTW ... I don't think you are full of shit. I think you believe what you say and some of it expresses legitimate concern about how a superpower behaves. So I will agree to disagree ... with you. But the General? He is definitely full of shit ... lol.
