Reparations cases

I do think the following is relevant:
:The firm has been accused in three CFTC reparations cases: 06-R031, 05-RO38, and 03-R098, according to the NFA. Accusations are not the same as convictions, and the CFTC only releases information on these cases by telephone at (202)418-5508.
The system seems to be set up so that information is not released except in this way, ie a small notice on the NFA site with a CFTC telephone number, so I don't know how else to get the information out.

If we don't cite this type of info, then the article starts to look like a self-promotional puff piece, which is what it was originally.  [[User:Smallbones|Smallbones]] 12:03, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

== Forex scams ==

Is "The retail foreign exchange market is controversial because few retail traders make money, and because of the existence of many forex scams." really neccesary to repeat in FXCM's article?  It's already covered in [[Foreign exchange market]] and [[forex scams]].  Forex scams are not specific to FXCM.

:I don't believe the above quote is in either of those 2 articles, but the idea certainly should be.  The connection to FXCM is obviously the source of the quote talking about his own business, FXCM.  [[User:Smallbones|Smallbones]] 23:55, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

::It's not a quote, just a statement non-specific to Fxcm.

The first sentence doesn't even seem like it should be in this article.  The controversy of the FX market isn't specific to FXCM.  Wouldn't it be better-placed in the [[Foreign exchange market]] page?  If it's in both, it seems redundant.  I'd change it, but you'd just revert it.

== Need to leave in the negatives as well as the positives ==

Folks, when the CEO of a company says that 85% of his customers don't make maoney, that quote certainly belongs in the company's wikipedia article.  The quote is factual, and is from a reliable source - The Wall Street Journal.  There is a link so that people can make their own judgements in the context of the original article.  

In short, repeatedly removing this quote looks like vandalism coming from people trying to promote this company.  [[User:Smallbones|Smallbones]] 17:14, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

::Yeah, have a read over the context of the quote. This quote would probably be more appropriate under the day trading article. When the CEO of one of big brokerages says most day traders lose, it probably should be stated. But the un-factual bias in how the quote appears in this article should probably be removed.

:::If you want to put it in elsewhere, please go ahead.  But you are very non-specific about why you want it removed here.  What is the "un-factual bias"??  Something about the context??? Feel free to change the context, but the quote is a rare glimpse of a corporate CEO telling it like it is, and should be kept. [[User:Smallbones|Smallbones]] 16:59, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
