So you didn't learn from the first time that flat fees in an active trading account don't exist? Where did all the money (1.4 mln) go? No.. not clear.. You say you made 30.000 dollars that August and after that they wanted to stop with you? Why not just stop... move on to a better broker since obviously the ones in the Bahamas seem like crooks to you. so you took 3-4 years to go and chase Credit Suisse... And not to forget you ALSO had issues with BNP Paribas.... so that's 3 large banks... any others? Depends on how much you trade... you say you made about 1.2 mln in 2 months with Credit Suisse... you either got very very very lucky on one trade... or very very very very lucky trading large size very frequently, therefore racking up significant fees. You trade lots, you have high fees... anyone here knows that... that doesn't have anything to do with whether you have a loan or not. Still don't buy it.... too many red flags. And how on earth do you get to have 14 cats!!!! FFS.... no money to hook up electricity or pay for fire damage, but lets get 14 cats so everyone in the family has 2 cats to play with....
Dear Jackrab, could you be just a little bit friendly and gentle, please? we already are harmed by UBS and our ex-neighbors from Lyford Cay https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyford_Cay , who apparently hating traders, and here on the planet of traders, I will appreciate very much to have support and understanding. thank you. Please, find here below my answers - thank you for your time and interest. LOL - we are all different types of persons on this planet! To scary you enough we also had two ponies, but for now, gave them up. Be well and hope to talk aftermarkett. Have anice day on trading!
Just copy pasting what you wrote earlier about being robbed by BNP Paribas..: "but we already had our bad experience (i did not say anything yet about robbery we had from BNB Paribas, Lugano and Credit Suisse, Geneve in 2008)." Those are minimums... usually you pay a % over the transaction $ amount if it's stocks or bonds... Futures are usually per lot/future traded... so if you trade 1 ES: $5, if you trade 10ES: $50 Anyway... all that text and I still don't get one iota of this story... I must be dumb
Nothing unfriendly about me! Trading is a cut throat business, dog eat dog. You have no place trading if you lack experience, years of it prior to going into trading futures especially. Who is the trader in your profile photo? How many years have you been a student of trading prior to this experience with UBS? Did your tutor not warn you of the dangers of futures, leverage and margin calls etc, or are you going to tell us you have a profitable trading system? I'm a sceptic because to come onto ET from the get go first time pleading assistance tells me you are waaaay over your head, trading is a ruthless business and if your teachers, Larry Williams and Mark Douglas didn't warn you, I can but assume your communication skills are that bad you are 100% unsuited for trading. Further you say "We did not grow in the computer era, blogs are something that entering only now - it is our first blog in the life". Mate, you are shark bait! NEVER TRADE AGAIN!
Mick... I totally agree with your assessment of the extreme foolishness of what they did.... I can just see some little bespeckled Mr Peepers type in UBS's risk management dept keeling over dead at his desk when he saw what was going on... but the fact remains they offered to maintain the loan in good faith, at least according to the court docs. And the story is in fact true no matter how right or wrong the parties involved are.... its not some Nigerian scam. They never asked us for money... just to sign a petition associated with their plight.... and that was not a generic blanket petition going after UBS just to go after UBS... (who reported today btw)... it was specific to their case and will be presented as such. Accepting the trade delay as a defense for dropping below 700K is gonna be a tough one though I suspect. I don't think thats gonna stand in court unfortunately. Not being provided a platform might however. I wonder if they can just refinance the entire property at 100% of the appraised value with another bank that does business down there and buy UBS out. Hard to know without more details regarding net worth, payoff on the original note, income etc. 20 hungry cats huh? Damn. Thats not good for the local song-bird population I would guess.
In situations like this I am always reminded of a landlady in London called Tina. Tina was Kenyan but somehow looked quite Nigerian. I lived in Africa for years so have a good eye for regions. When I first met her and was giving her a rental deposit in cash in her new BMW after viewing the place. I had no concerns until she she repeatedly said "it is ok, I am a good person, you can trust me". I really had a sinking feeling for my £2k.. Now Tina it turned out was in fact a very honorable and honest person, she even studied in Cambridge for real (another detail that had me concerned on first meeting) but jaw dropping naivety and simply did not understand how she came across in a cruel and paranoid world. As @vanzandt says, it it hard to see an angle here with the petition as it is specific to the case.
OT, From my limited dealings with Africans i find Ugandans to be the nicest people and always in good spirit,both Christians and Muslims And Mauritians the worst,maybe because of so much drug dealings going on on that small island
20 cats (among which 5 are pregnant with quadruplets), 2 ponies, 1 donkey, 8 children, and 3 adults in the same household. I estimate that's 194 legs. And that's not counting Tina, the housekeeper who pretends to be a Nigerian, but is in fact Kenyan. Pretty much everyone in the family, including pets, trades futures with borrowed money, paying $500 per contract in commissions for each round turn.
