Refco -- world's lamest website

S

saxon

Wanna see a website that is about as information-arid as they come:

http://www.refco.com/index.asp

That's what happens when you get too big for your britches.

"The largest non-bank futures merchant in the world...blah, blah, blah"

Now here is one that is just replete with information:

http://www.interactivebrokers.com/

Thought for the day:

"The first shall be last, and the last, first."

THIS IS YOUR WAKE-UP CALL...REFCO! GET WITH IT !!

(I'm almost embarrassed to be a client of theirs; even if only for a back-up broker).

Refco website looks like it was designed by "consultants" who know jackshit about trading or traders' needs.

IB's website has ALL items easily accessible.
 
I just have become a customer of Refco. I feel the broker pretty stable and secured.

Having said that, I also agree their website is like a labyrinth, I had a similar experience with CitiBank site.
 
What a timely post, Saxon! Just this morning I saw a headline about Refco introducing an S&P index managed futures hedge fund. There was a link to Refco.com for more information. I was interested so I clicked over to Refco.com and after spending 5 fruitless minutes looking for info I gave it up in frustration.
 
REFCO is mainly a clearing house for other brokers to use. I have been with Altavest Futures Brokerage for several years. Refco is our clearing house.

I know a few people that trade directly with them and are very satisfied. I have been satisfied with them as a clearing house.
