bl, haha Never thought it that way. Should female traders just say, un-huh, and move on? haha I'm still researching other retail currency brokers. Would appreciate any serious recommendations. Many thanks Karl
xenia, Thanks for the sugestions. Have you ever used GFT? I looked at them yesterday and their demo doesn't appear to allow CAD vase currency. You're saying their live version does? "Karl"
You can often spot posters worth ignoring via one or more of the following classical crank attributes: Righteousness They are unwilling to be mistaken. They never acknowledge error, even on trivial matters. Even when presented with literal quotes from their own earlier postings, about the most you will get is a non-denial denial that they wrote it. Evasion Despite their incredible volumes of postings, they never seem to have time to respond to pointed remarks that expose flaws in their arguments. When they quote from on-target articles, they only copy irrelevant text. Changing the topic (misdirection) is a mainstay of their technique. Blathering Argument by repetition, unsupported claim, context-dropping and spin-doctoring: They rely on "facts" not in evidence and never seem to have time to post in-context references that might support their conclusions. Anything quoted is out of context, and may not even be from a discussion on the same topic. They stubbornly assume that their interpretation is the only correct one. Double Standards They threaten others whose articles are actually less offensive than their own. Libel Their articles often contain actionable material. Amnesia They are incapable of remembering their past errors and lies, much less adjusting their behaviour to avoid repeating previous outrages. Hostility They indirectly acknowledge the weakness of their position by resorting to all the normal underhanded tricks of incompetent debaters, plus copious volumes of ad hominem; from simple name-calling to sophmoric psychological judgementalism. Idiolectic Just because it looks like English, don't assume it is, depending on how you define "is". Obsessed and Disconnected After you've been reading their stuff for a while, you begin to realize that they seem to be driven by some central theme, but are writing in what is ultimately just a /simulation/ of a human language. It looks vaguely familiar on the surface, but is not firmly connected to reality, much less the topic at hand. Expletives Their command of their language is so weak, and the intellectual content of their prose is so vacuous, that they have to "punch it up" with words intended to mock, provoke, shock and/or hurt. Without those words, they'd have a great deal less to say. Cluelessness They are fully capable of reading all of the above, and failing to recognize that they meet most or all of these criteria.
168, Yeah, I agree. UBS I looked at CMC's platform yesterday and uninstalled it soon after. I had left a call with GFT yesterday about whether they allow CAD currency accounts and got a call back from someone with Raymond James Financial Service, 2 North Riversie Plaza. Sounds as centralized as Primerica, doesn't it? "Karl"
No need to contact their introducing brokers (or whatever Raymond James FS might be). Here you go ... www.gftforex.com/support/funds/wire.asp
Oh, I left off one portion of the GFT broker's address, it's Suite 900 Serious recommendations only pls. Let's not mess the board with kiddy stuff, ok?
