US retail forex brokers continue to bleed client assets

That's your opinion, not supported by the facts and statements by the authorities. I have sympathy with superb brokers such as GFT, however the founder cashed out in the end. For individual traders I'll just get out the world's smallest violin. As ...

Age and experience is no barrier to stupidity. Buffett advocates the ultra wealthy in the USA and globally paying a fairer share of taxes and on that I'm with him. As to why you'd bring him up and defend the lower end effluent pipe of retail FX, ...
