Quote from cabletrader:
...the only other broker who I've found reliable (CMC) .....
I had never heard of CMC before so I visited their web site to check 'em out. First thing that jumps out at you is:
"CMC Markets regrets to announce that it has decided to wind down its U.S. operations. This action is intended to be effective on or about September 30, 2008.
No new position can be opened after 5:00pm (EST) on August 22, 2008 and all remaining positions must be closed no later than the close of business on September 30, 2008."
I guess that's no longer an option for US traders.
