I am surprised that nobody here is discussing the crisis unfolding at Refco over the last few days...it seems that a few people here have account with Refco FX/FXCM/ACM. Has anyone heard if liquidity is affected? Has anyone pulled their money out?

Quoting mmills4xDislikedI read about it in the the WSJ the other day. I'm wondering if other FX brokers may have similar problems and if the blocks are going to start to tumble as happened with the corruption of Enron/Tyco, etc. Are FX brokers insured to cover customer losses?Ignored
Quoting xxDavidxSxxDislikedI am currently on FXCM and I have had no problems. But I am wondering wtf is going on with that. I cann't trade 100$ lots so I'll stay here untill then. This thing with them will drag out long time and they'll through money in someones pocket and it will go away.
