Any other good options other than lloyds for additional insurance?

Spoke with a representative relatively high up on the IB ladder today. Apparently, IB does not allow you to have a sole commodity future or sole equity account. Every account at IB is classified as universal even if you ONLY trade futures. This poses a major risk, as the funds are not deemed...

Any verification other than one article that rehypothecation is illegal in Canada?

I had less than one percent of my equity from my MF Global acct transferred to the new FCM.... 99.6 % is cash sitting at MF. I should be part of that initial distribution!

This is total bullshit! What about customers that had only a few positions and the rest cash?? We get nothing!? I have my two lawyers on this already as this is ridiculous.

Between the wine and punching bag, I doubt I am the only one doing some broker shopping as this unwinds. I am curious on where you are thinking about transferring your account to if and when we get some cash back. What actions are you going to take in order to minimize this segregated risk...

Anyone get their Asian and European positions transferred? All I have showing up is CME so far.
