Not fishing fl__trader just i got BURNED at a middle man firm i don't want to see it happen to another .That is all lol. But i could under stand why you would think that way.The truth is i just want to make sure the traders know FOR FREE on my part.
Please spare us your con job....20 posts, all about this , and you are doing this to save us ????/ Nice try ....By the way, under your scenario, most of the sponsors on this board would not exists because they are the so called 'middle men"....Bright doesn't self clear, does that mean nobody should trade there?....and i too would like to warn my fellow man.....SIPC only covers cash balances up to 100k....actual securities it covers much more, but most large traders don't keep 500,000 in securities overnight...so if you had 150k cash in the account and the clearing firm goes under.....SIPC will give you a 100k check...and your out the other 50k....and BTW, it will take a LONG time to sort out the SIPC...That's the reason many of the firms you mention go through large clearing firms like SLK, SWS and bear.....They usually have extra insurance....Just remember, one bad short at a small self clearing firm can mean SIPC liquidation...how would you like to be sitting there in California trying to figure out when and how much of your 200k you will get back becuase somebody shorted too much stock in boca??? Buyer beware
