    Why would Icahn do this?

    I think he is tired of the BS from the SEC. Too many new rules. Alot of these funds have the majority of their assets offshore. I read that 75% of Tudor's fund is overseas. I wonder at some point if these guys are going to move to an island and close up their US shops. I know if I was in...

    Fibtimer

    Etrade horror story

    Finra arb is not your typical arb. You don't get to go infront of a retired judge and state your claim. With Finra you will sit infront of a panel of three. I don't know if I would want to do that without an attorney. In my wirehouse days it would cost a firm 20-25k in my area to go to...

    Etrade horror story

    One more item: The correct procedure for this is to take the "error" and move the trade into an error account and sell/buyback the position. Not leave it in your account. If they decide it's not their fault, they will charge you the difference. Somewhere in your conversation you must have...

    Any Recommendations for Lawyers Experienced in Trade Related Disputes?

    I would speak with an attorney. (can't hurt) The front end firm should be able to show the IP address from where the trades took place. You are entitled to this information through discovery. BUT it may take a lawyer to get them to hand over the info. Cross trades happen. Most firms have...

    Any Recommendations for Lawyers Experienced in Trade Related Disputes?

    I went through something similiar a few years back with my RIA. Stark and Stark www.stark-stark.com are THE lawyers in the industry. Your firm will try to say you violated their security policy if you have ever logged on outside of a secure connection. (ie Starbucks or a hotel) It's a...
