{quote} The difference between John Q and Mr Big Shark of the Wall Street is just quantity. Principia remain the same.Guns are easy to control by pretty much everyone. The same cannot be said about 250 km/h car being driven on a twisty B-road on a frosty day.What do they say? The freedom of one's fist ends half an inch from the tip of my nose.
Astronomical doesn't touch the magnitude of impossibility of collusion of the entirety of retail forex having an impact a fraction of the size of what the SNB was able to accomplish in 12 minutes, little alone the length of time it took for the global economical collapse of 2008.

Your argument is invalid.

The driver of the car going 250Kmh on a twisty icy road is aptly and timely destined to be nominated for a Darwin Award.

How large is the vortex around your nose that it would no longer allow me the freedom of my fist?

An SEC 4-K form filing, revealed that former FXCM Inc Chief Dealer, Michael Romersa, has sold his last 363,807 shares on the 22nd of January in the aftermath of the release of the details of the agreement between FXCM and Leucadia.

Despite what some pundits may claim,
Quote
the company is within its full right to treat the situation as force majeure and applying the legal clause mentioned in the client agreement. -

So, for those of you who are still interested in buying the stock, you may want to wait until Michael Romersa decides to reload his shares. As he is on the Inside of things, and liquidated what would be around a cool million dollars worth of his company shares, leaving him with a big FAT 0, invested in the company...following his lead seems prudent.

Additionally, The company being within its full right to treat the situation as force majeure, doesn't seem to have the same calming effect of what the French traders have allegedly received by way of phone calls about FXCM absorbing the losses on negative balances.

Still ready to take one for the team?

Because...

You do realize that this is simply an opinion piece, some guy Victor Golovtchenko simply wrote what he thought of the situation. So, tomorrow if I write something to the effect that FXCM owes its clients 1 billion, would you take me at face value too?). This is not an official FXCM press release, so let's wait

It isn't a good development that an insider liquidated all of his shares, but not sure what the revised loan terms mean for their plans. Haven't bought yet if I do I want it to be less than it is at the moment.

An SEC 4-K form filling is NOT an opinion.

Also havent managed it coz of school, ... not sure if I can make it ... contract is pretty long and I prefere to read before sign .

Anyway, who cares bout some FXCM trader selling his 300K shares? If you work for a company you believe in and buy 300K shares and then the company goes underwater and your shares loose 4/5 of their value, you are lucky not to get a heartattack. Leave that guy alone, whoever he is, I definitely dont believe he is able to act calm and racionally right now.

And besides, if it was an insider it wouldnt be in the news.

I don't know about you guys , but after Alpari closed it's shop and after I saw spreads here : http://www.forexfactory.com/brokers.php . I might give FXCM a chance AFTER it passes a couple of months to settle down the dust provoked a couple of weeks ago . What do you think ?
