Checking Clearing Firm

[agras01]

Hi!

I just oppened a relail account with a brockerage firm and I am ready to sent considerable amount of money to their Clearance Firm.

How can I check them am out, especially their clearance firm?
What is the regulatory authority that passes informations to prospective retail account owners?

I assume it is a branch of SIPC or SEC, but I am sure there are match more knowledgable folks out there than I am, that would guide me..

I would appreciate any relative information

Regards,

Agras

I think they have 2 million in excess SIPC coverage.

I did not know TM_Direct is a salesmen for MB. Is this correct?

I posted that as a reply to some poster claiming he had no idea how to get in touch with MB....for some reason, there are two posters who insist im working for MB trading.......why?? because i said kind words about them....But if you check my prior posts Ive said kind things about Redwood, Point Direx , Instaquote and Neovest......But if you want to continue portraying me as a salesmen for MB....Fine...but i have no affiliation with MB now or ever and do not have any current affiliation with the other firms...although I am VERY biased toward XOOM TRADE and would encourage everyone to try the platinum simulator
