Stay on topic or you'll close the thread? What is the topic? I thought it was about firm's no longer with us. This thread ceased to be relevant to its topic pages ago. Anyone can bash Don, he is an easy target. Why don't we start a bash Don thread?
Griffin Trading London/Chicago. Went under due to John Ho Park, a trader who lied about his position being long 700 bunds when he in fact was long over 7,000 bunds. Lost over 7 million pounds. Took down Griffin trading and many locals with him. Where is he now I ask ???
they did, but apparently they were rather inadequate. he was also using an external broker so had positions with them too.
Don you overgrown has been. Please dont comment on Assent or how Sungard "may" be trying to sell Assent also. Griefeld (ex ceo of Sungard now ceo of Nasdaq) obviously liked Brut when he was with Sungard and made that a top priority to purchase Brut when he got to Nasdaq. Dont comment on rumors. If you want to mention Assent in any of your posts at least be accurate.
Not to agree with Don, but I have less trust for the firm now than I did before the acquisition. If %$$$% does decide they want out, there will be such a run of traders that there will be nothing left of %@@@%. It almost happened already over a measly rumor, so god forbid the next rumor will actually have some truth to it. I do not trust the big firm at all. They have not done a damn thing to improve anything for the traders except for the added regulations that protect our accounts from just anyone taking money from it. But besides that, it's only more corporate BS, more restrictions, fines & regulations. Yes, they even decided to take away Instant Messenger even though many many traders IM each other with stocks and moves. And by the way, in case you were not notified by compliance, we are not allowed to use either of the firm's names on any message board.
I dont know what you're talking about but you're only blowing smoke up your own ass. There is still instant messenger. Yes there is corporate BS. Just because you do not see the improvements doesnt mean they are not happening.
