ECN Costs

You mean the TRAC cave-in, or something else? I lost about $5K too I think. Probably made it up trading it, though.

I mean that they promised to pay 5, instead they paid 2.5 (after many negotiations). I was going into trades realizing a gross loss expective 5 rebate: instead I got 2.5. The 10 grand was lost only on the gross difference, not counting the unrealized profit.

Also, as to adams post, the Hasidic Jew thing has nothing to do with trading, but to bring a general understanding of who they are. It was not meant in any derogotory sense (I, myself, am Jewish).

Their office in Boropark seems very shady, that's all.


It still sounds derogatory, at least as though you're trying to use a stereotype to imply frugality and shady business practices. That you're Jewish makes that all the worse, to me.

Barry Hertz is a pretty nice guy in my experience, generous to a fault at times.


ok, just think of it like when african americans call eachother the N word...it was the same thing when WCOMtrader said it about the Hasidic jews.

were jewish so we can joke around.its ok.

Plenty of black people find that sort of thing repugnant, given the history and emotion behind the word as it's been used.

Nowhere in my family or among my friends would someone make a comment like that. We wouldn't consider it "ok" to perpetuate the use of a negative stereotype, particularly now.

Anyway, this stuff is off topic, and I think we've both made our positions clear.
