Whoa whoa whoa! I thought you made this dead list solely based on the CFTC report because 'that was the only ways to know' (paraphrasing)? So.. you make subjective judgments on some companies and don't try to find information on others? You at least ...

this is my only issue with this whole piece. while it is true that poorly capitalized firms might not be able to afford the necessary staff, that doesn't mean they don't have the funding to afford such a staff. what they're showing as capitalization ...

"And the truth shall set you free." Thank you. I think you're right that they'll eventually pass that five million, and then the question will become who can make those requirements, and who will be the member of the "forex follies". I'll try to ...

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

By the legal and CORRECT definition of undercapitalization and by the current regulations, such a neighborhood does not exist. By your incorrect and non-legal definition of undercapitalization, that's true. Granted, that's not the real definition of ...

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

lol, which is probably the dictionary definition Because they were committing all sorts of fraud? Each of your stories isn't a tale of undercapitalization problems (or undercapitalization problems alone), but of other problems that were ongoing even ...

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

Oh no no no. You're alleging direct fraud by each of those groups in your dead pool, not saying something is going on in that neighborhood. It's more like you're saying "5 of these donut places have had robberies, and because those five have, Rob's ...

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

Uh.. huh... unlike you, I'm not minimizing it (in fact, I've said I expect it to pass), I'm simply saying it's not in place yet and thus, no one HAS to meet it yet, so indicting them for not doing so is a witch hunt. That IS a fact, unlike this... ...

I thought someone was waiting for you to post something that wasn't a linkback to your own thread. last I read, they were still waiting.... i don't know about other critics, but my problem is with how you say things and the assumptions you make ...

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

weren't you the person who said you didn't know if it was a mistake or not because people wondered why there was a drastic change from april to may? if you'd like, I can post exact quotes from you to show that. if you didn't know if there was a ...

Seems like several platforms have several versions of the AO. Is the Chaos one the exact same thing as the AO?

aren't you the one who implied you knew what they meant by their statement when you stated: if you don't know what it means, you can't blame people for trying to tell you (although their tone could have been better about it)

i strongly suspect he works for one of the competitors of those companies he posts against judging by his posting habits. it's mainly his tone - most people don't continually talk in the way he does. my favorite example from his is the one company ...

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

his links refer to NFA statements. from that perspective, he is telling the truth - they wouldn't propose these things in committee if someone at the NFA didn't have reason to. but it's important to realize that the NFA doesn't put things in the ...

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

Implying a firm is undercapitalized when under current regulations, they are capitalized would be misleading in my book. They're not undercapitalized yet.... they meet current requirements. you get me quotes from every company on that list saying ...

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

That should be "if" they go under. Unless you have a crystal ball and know that every one of those on that list will go under or can't meet a higher cap requirement. What I want to know is, if the 5 million requirement goes through, and if one of ...

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

"Being under-capitalized (at least according to the NFA) worries me." Nitpicky point, but.... they're not undercapitalized yet, even if said measure is approved. I can't help you on the recommendation tho.

do you know that for a fact, or are you guessing again? you don't even know how they got the figure, now you know for certain they're not disputing a report that was posted about a week or two ago to the website? do you work for the CFTC to know ...

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

O.O What are you talking about? no one is afraid of talking about it, but he doesnt have answers for basic questions and he responds with vitriol to anyone who dares to question his motives. he can't answer questions about the one company he claims ...

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

You didn't even have an answer to what the negative was regarding. Did you even talk to them? you don't know if it was a mistake on the report, or an issue with their acquisition, or a third reason. for an informative person, you seem really ...
