Lee,
No one deserves to be financialy rapped, and have their money stolen. Yes, it is best to not have all ones eggs in one basket. Or as I believe Andrew Cargagie said have all your eggs in one basket and watch that basket like a hawk.
Anyhow, that would be like telling a women that you were out to late, or your dress was to short and you got what you deserved, which makes me sick. Money stolen is money stolen. I think more details need to come out on PFGbest and hopefully they can find the money for their customers.
Once again I have an ax to grind as I am a former client of MF Global.
Did not get to read the deleted post, so I may not know the context/history of the post at this time.
Anyhow keep posting on the NG Lee. As I do read your posts.
