>>3 Million of Customer adjustments!!!!!!!!! And I think they are calling this a one time charge, per the above wording??

Yeah, their not honouring their word any more. Remember that article that Gil so proudly posted here about 3 months ago? Said how they would give confirmation in 60 seconds or the trade was free?

Well, they found that they lost too much money that way, so discontinued it, or broke thrie promise to their customers. And when I repeatedly asked if they were going to print a retraction, they said: "NO, we are not responsible for what the press prints"

Say what? But it came from the company I said. Well, they just aren't going to honour it any more, period. Doesn't matter what they promise, they will not take any more charges because of that promise.

I hope they treat shareholders better than they do their own customers. I'm thinking of shorting this thing(my first short ever) before the day is over. But I won't hide it. If I do so, I'll post it here, so you can take any future posts with any degree of doubt knowing that.

I think I'll wait until they get done pumping it on "Power Lunch"

Edit in. Gonna be on power lunch tomorrow, I'll wait on any position
