No, stupid liberal politicians opened the door for them.

Wow 10x as much? That's it? I guess if I'm a complete amateur and he only knows 10x as much as me, he's not so smart after all, eh smart guy who's not reading this?

my goodness you're clueless "unloading"/trading through a foreign broker is the same as trading in the US. With the arbing bots it is one global market. Stop poluting this thread with your statist views. This is America, not a place for elitist wannabes like you to tell the masses ow to trade...

Enough with the BS tax *CREDITS* Bambi. Pass real pro-growth tax reform, that will have long term substantive effects on the economy in a positive way. Taxing the people and then giving it back in little pieces according to political optics is BS!

Shorting anything is not passive, as it involves theoretically unlimited risk. The point of VXX is that it's passive. Sorry that despite your amazing day job you missed that. You talk about being sophisticated yet you talk about SH, which as I already stated tracks the *daily* inverse, which...

Are you trying to be a comedian? Don't quit your day job. My point is that their method of dealing with contango is better than what you gave them credit for. My other point is that you can't find a better passive way to gain exposure to the inverse performance of the S&P or the VIX, or you...

This man has become unbearable as he sits and asks the same idiotic questions while grovelling at the feet of whatever supposed economics intellectual has decided to grace his radio audience with their presence. He continually asks about stimulus this, and stimulus that. He is contemptible in...

Read it and WEEP: March 28th, 2007 – Ben Bernanke: "At this juncture . . . the impact on the broader economy and financial markets of the problems in the subprime markets seems likely to be contained," May 17th, 2007 – Bernanke: “While rising delinquencies and foreclosures will...

He's a FAILURE!

I had a thread similar to this a week or so ago. I disagree that this is a bad vehicle for passive VIX exposure. It is the ONLY vehicle for passive VIX exposure for starters. Secondly, they do not roll monthly, they roll daily!! Read the prospectus. They do a weighted roll on the two nearest...

Jobs stimulus? WTF is that? Where I come from the ONLY stimulus to private enterprise is TAX cuts. Repatriate the dollar by forgiving taxes on foreign multi-nationals, as Bush successfully did, which in turn increases the value of USD. You stimulate job growth by cutting taxes and ENDING the...

Oh what a joke. The government in the guise of liberalism is the biggest fleecer of American wealth. Give us a break. Obama is running to the very last hope he has to regain some iota of credibility with the American voter. Get a clue.

Of course it's going to have an effect, but it's not going to remove liquidity from the global market. It's merely going to displace it. Reactions are not always rational, nor do they imply long term relevance.

Obama doesn't have a position in Citi, and he didn't cost the federal government anything. We the people have a position, and he cost us a billion. Everything else I agree with.

Jason can I ask you to request one point of clarification. If FXCM were to cease being an NFA regulated interest in the US, *then* would there be some CFTC or NFA regulation or limitation on US citizens ability to trade with your UK interest? If not it sounds like this broker rep was grossly...

Great points by achilles. This suggests that the answer to my question, is it true that by law only accredited US citizens may trade forex with non US brokers, is likely not true, else FXCM would prevent a lot of traders from opening accounts. But I'd like clarification from Jason.

We have money? Where?

Jason, still waiting to hear about this. Any feedback from your compliance department?

The custodian account requires an account balance (opening) of $250k, according to the sales rep I spoke with.
