Is it a fair business ?

Sorry for my rude comments last night. The chill pill really worked.

Moving on, I still think things happen in other companies that are different from fxcm. This is an attachment from a bank website that accepts retail accounts.

It certainly contradicts some of your comments. However the point I've been trying hard to make is that some companies act differently than fxcm and other retail brokers. Your knowledge is mainly about fxcm and I have no problem with the fact that you know how they act inside out.

I KNOW that most trades are offset internally because most traders lose and brokers can afford to do this. However, not all are, some are offset in IB market.

As always, I look forward to any comments you have on the attached ( really, I do).

KInd Regards

BTW , being a Scot, there is the North Sea oil I suppose .......
Only kidding.

Way off topic here but your comment really deserves a reply!

That opinion is one shared universally by people sitting in warm homes, with a refrgerator full of food, driving to work in their big cars, and guzzling energy without a care in the world ignorant of the fact that energy sources are depleting fast. The US, albeit the biggest energy guzzlers, has the foresight to recognise the problem and do something practical about it by securing oil supplies in Iraq. I wonder how distasteful some people would find the war if the petrol pumps ran dry, there was no food in the supermarket, and they had to find wood to burn to keep warm, how many objections would there be then I wonder!

Ah, I feel so much better for that.....

Well yes well all know the above to be the truth unless you are "pea-brained" and gullible - only thing is the US is still trying to convince the world and its own public that this is the war against terror - rather than a war against "dwindling oil supplies and a hostile Arab nation with oil, which can screw us if they want by closing the tap"

That doesn't mean I don't think the Bush and his lapdog Blair are scum of the earth with blood on their hands for the sake of controlling oil.

Can one trust them after this campaign of lies and deceit?

I think alternative sources of energy can be harnessed (at a cost) - although the big companries are putting the screws (read: big paydays) on govt. to act - and act they have.

Iran/Syria watch out - Bush has you lined up in the cross-hairs - although maybe Israel will do the dirty work this time.

Could anyone trust them before the 'campaign of lies and deceipt'? They're politicians, politicians tell lies to get votes, no surprises there huh! Sure there are alternative energy sources if you don't mind the cost of goods and fuel doubling, but that's not a vote puller and anyway how many people value a clear conscience that much? While people can blame Bush and Blair for unjustly going to war and protest at how awful it all is they can sleep soundly in their warm beds because their hands are blood-free and after all there 'really is nothing they can do about it'. And despite all the lies and deceipt and war and killing who do they go and vote for? You got it!

Bush is politically a very astute man, he satisfied the US public's need for revenge after 9/11 and secured oil in Iraq, two birds with one stone and he stays in office, they love the guy! Personally I wouldn't pee on either of them if they were on fire but until a worthy opponent takes up the challenge there's only one choice, spoil my vote.

People are selfish, that's just the way it is.

This sort of thing has been going on since humankind began. Plundering, pillaging and raping in other countries was considered fair game if you had the armies to win.

Dog eat dog, survival of the strongest and all that....

These days nothing has changed, except it is no longer politically correct to be open about ones intentions. Politicians lie about it instead. The goal, however, remains the same.

Americans need government spending to pull their economy out of recession after Clinton quited White House. Iraqi War is just a dirty government spending. I don't know why Bush regime selected this way. Maybe munitioners interest group and oil interest group stood behind Bush and 911 gave them all a chance. Without Iraqi War, you will see a minus nfp, a less GDP, a less Michigan consumer sentiment. So why crude price is even higher than it was before Iraqi War? People are selfish. When the recession possibility of US economy fades a little bit, oil interest group will think about their own interests more. Americans should love Bush, he gave the wealthies more money and gave the poors more jobs.
