Things looking grim for KCG. Knight Fighting for Survival As Several Big Clients Defect - http://www.cnbc.com/id/48469867

Fallout from Knight’s technology missteps could also bring pressure to bear on similar public companies. One is Greenwich, Conn.-based Interactive Brokers Group Inc., which runs both a discount brokerage business and a market-making arm that is similar to Knight’s trading division...

Last year, they were within hours of buying MF Global, which is now bankrupt with over a billion dollars still unaccounted for. Talk about risky business....

Mark Cuban looks like a total idiot now that FB is back at 32 today.

Wow, that's amazing. If IB had gone ahead, all account holders would be short of money now.

Corzine out of money? I bet he has over a billion dollars stashed in some overseas bank account under someone else's name. No proof? He was the only adult with experience in "high finance" in this amateur shop called MF Global.

Where's 60 minutes when you need them? Please send someone to interview the head of SEC.

Feel bad for the market making firms? :p They have ripped me off too many times! FB price simply reflects the supply and demand for the shares. The demand was great before the IPO, but not afterwards.

With the treasury yields dropping so low, any profitable company could be considered as a valuable yield generator. IBKR is also trading near the bottom of its price range.

Do you think some bigger firm will take over IB one day? These firms come to my mind -- investment banks like GS and MS, retail brokers like E*Trade and Ameritrade, and maybe even private equity?

Obama talks about reforming the Wall Street, except those who are his buddies. :D

It seems nobody wants to say anything bad about Nasdaq even after many stock investors were screwed. I guess that's the power of monopoly. :D
