Thanks Daal. Goes to prove that I shouldn't trust Yahoo finance as a quick source of financial info. Their numbers are completely out of whack.
if u check profile that comes to 2.24/day. you can judge if it is excessive. since u just talk and don't come up with real numbers in your posts there is not much left to say. calling people names is a definite sign of a loser's personality.
Wow zd. You start with the attacks and then become defensive and thin-skinned when responded to. Pathetic & laughable.
this is my original response to you. "1st step is to learn accounting . there are different kind of liabilities which are offset by assets. does ib have the same exposure as mf global on mark to market accounting? 2nd step is to prove assertions:Even if you trim the numbers, their leverage is still way higher than other brokers and investment banks. u have not provided a table to prove your point. 2ndly what do mean about trimming numbers? 3rd step and perhaps more importantly is to show a little humility in order to be taken seriously. you don't have the power to stir up panic." you can't handle criticism. it is obvious that u are lacking in education f your response is name calling.
Jesus zd. Just drop it already. Try for once to add to the conversation instead of detracting from it by "criticizing" others. Your insistence on continuing this back & forth is, again, pathetic.
why don't you simply respond to questions that require a factual answer. your continued refusal speaks for itself. ". there are different kind of liabilities which are offset by assets. does ib have the same exposure as mf global on mark to market accounting? 2nd step is to prove assertions:Even if you trim the numbers, their leverage is still way higher than other brokers and investment banks. u have not provided a table to prove your point. 2ndly what do mean about trimming numbers?

If zd had been checking the thread instead of being obsessed with his own posts, he would've seen the issue was already resolved (thanks to Daal, who was respectful and, unlike zd, actually added to the conversation). zd's self-absorbed behavior frankly speaks for itself. For zd, it's excessive by about two and a quarter posts a day, IMO.
the same effort you put into answering my questions is the same way u read my posts . u follow up without presenting facts. of course it is also the same way u started out this thread. gratuitous insults are your way of covering the fact that u do not know how to do a proper search. superficial near nil effort on your part is your forte.
The fact that you demand a response in the first place is all the more proof that you are self-absorbed. You need to take a breather from posting zd. As much as you believe the ET community can benefit from your pseudo-wisdom, you've far exceeded your quota for the day.
why don't you take responsibility for your lack of accounting knowledge, by learning accounting, instead of blaming others?
