Trouble at Refco

[BARLI]

FredBloggs, you're right... recently i been jerking around with with Lean Hogs - i was doing cancel replace order for like 8 times putting another limit order cos i wanted a btter fill... then my broker called me and said that floor was upset with me about that. i got a good broker with a nice sence of humore and he also knows the guys on the floor, he takes a train back home from the exchnages with them, so he said he'd buy them a beer from me Though i was jerking around with cancel replace button i still was getting very good fills for my limit orders

Yeah - I started an account with them and attempted to use their new platform. It was not even ready for beta. When I talked to their technicians they acted as if I was an annoyance and wasting their time. Since then I have moved to infinity brokers and I am so far please with the response in the knowledge of their people. Have you a consensus on who is the best broker?

lol they're still afraid to post commission rates. Pathetic.

...the "this is our website but we wont give you any information unless you call us so we can charge you the highest rate possible" old school thinking continues.

imho

I suspected Trader Monthly was a scam from its first issue. Andy Priston was no top trader: go to this site: http://bankrupt.com/TCREUR_Public/050429.mbx. Once there find this: PRISTON FUTURES: Names Liquidator from Turpin Barker Armstrong

whatever...your link is beat, just like your thought process

Learn to use the "search" function on a company website (in this case, the site of an accounting firm handling the liquidation of Andy Priston's company); also, learn how to read: Turpin Barker is liquidating Priston Futures just six months after "Trader Monthly" listed Mr. Priston as a top 100 trader.

Not to upset this flame fest going on here, but I did find a link that declared Priston Futures to be in liquidation:
