What happened to RCG? They have lost almost 300 million in just 2 months

Quote from Chicago_CTA:

OP,
you're ignorant on this matter... What you should pay attention to, in my view, is the operating capital and excess capital...It's really not a big deal.

X 2, Agree Completely.

OP,
you're ignorant on this matter. That's not a big fluctuation. For all you know, some of their institutional clients have been long stock index futures, and taking a hit.

What you should pay attention to, in my view, is the operating capital and excess capital.

I would view, perhaps a 50%+ decline in Cust. Seg. Funds as perhaps indicative of a bigger problem, but these numbers fluctuate greatly.

I cleared through MF Global while their Cust. Seg. Funds fell from about $10bb to ~$8bb.

It's really not a big deal.

Taking a hit on june 30? (SPX at 1340)
Just curious to see the next report

Anyway RCG has never seen a negative "fluctuation" like this in his history

It actually has absolutely NOTHING to do with Rosenthal Collins Group. It has to do with hedge funds and CTA's getting redemption notices from clients. Get a fucking clue, please. You are building a mountain out of a mole-hill, and IMO you are smearing a great firm with solid financials and good management.

by coincidence or what info. prompted your move?

I was attempting to make a joke.. I still have an account with them, although they're not my primary broker.

Frankly, I don't share the OPs concern... Nothing to worry about!
 
Don't put ALL your eggs in one basket is a very true statement.

P.S. there used to be a RCG girl posting pretty pics on here. No connection prolly tho.
