{quote} I'm just going to throw a hundred or so in as a gamble. I do like a good gamble.
As did I with Bre-x, nortel and a few others I can't even remember.

All losses.

No victors.

No profit.

If I want a long shot these days or feel like burning a couple of brownies, I pick the lotto...I have a better chance there.

Another Sad Story...

I fekkin loved Opera until 2013ish...one of the most non-passive since IE like 1.4ish without all of the lag...shame about their upgrades.

Turned a beautiful product into an advertisement for Chrome.

i'm still addicted to it.
but it's of no use!
so you're buying some shares of fxcm or only kantzler has the balls to dive in?
i'm a chicken, have other stocks to follow - at least, i don't want to multiply my fears!
buy eurotrash shares! like kpn.as
draghi's heroin will help them pump (and dump) :-))))))
i'm 8% up already (and have no fundamental reasons to hold these shares).
all things considered, we should pm magix to each other.
let's not conquer the thread with our shopping impulses! :-)

PMs on FF suck hard since they've minimized the size of the window.

Alternatively, I am a pretty easy target outside of the FF realm and have the value of infinite space.

Seek and ye shall find.

I don't think the odds are that bad. Client funds can be withdrawn at will, no questions asked, and no criminal probe has been announced on any suspicion of wrongdoing. That a few lawyers are poking around does bother me but FXCM doesn't strike me as the kind of company that had internal criminal activity and I doubt they will find anything to base a lawsuit on. Aside from margin requirements going up, clients in good standing can still trade as before the Swiss crisis and performance is as good as before. Stock value will probably go down further before it gets better no thanks to Citi and their "targets" but I don't think this is the end of the line. The big concern is the method by which FXCM will attempt to pay back their creditor before they lose control of the situation and are forced to sell. I hope Leucadia is not short sighted enough to destroy this company for some fast short term gain but I know little about their management.

With a large enough drop in stocks, folk get a little sensitive and decide to protect their underbelly.

Funds being withdrawn in any banking or borrowing situation have never successfully withstood an exodus.

Probes only have to probe...I never stated that they've done anything wrong, but with 3x blood sucking, ambulance chasing, class action suits pending, the first of the dominoes is already teetering.

They've ripped people off for years. been fined over and over. Why are people rooting for them. This is karma biting them in the ass. Do yourself a favor, find at least 3 other brokers, spread your risk and move on.

At this point, I can't even imagine why your inbox isn't full on broker suggestions alone...

Yes, I can tell you "get it". there doing the same shit in Canada as they are here. Meanwhile, there are so many countries where you can trade free of restriction and brokers in those countries continue to operate as normal.

Pitfalls of the average trader...fear of loss.

If I hold it long enough, it should come back to my price.

Though it paints the supporters of FXCM with a pretty wide brush, logically it seemingly rings out the same.

Consumer psychology dictates that previous purchase decisions are defended passionately where change is never welcomed with open arms.

Much the reason that, we as men, can keep our underwear, long past any reasonable date of expiration.

Yup.
