One more point on TD…the last Co that I knew off, that acted like TD, buying up rivals for the client list, because they can’t get clients any other way, due to their crap service, was MFGlobal.
Which prior to Corzine was run by a total prick called Kevin Davies, who the whole world rightly hated….no-one would trade with him, so he had to buy Co’s for the clients, most of whom he pissed off….then Corzine turned up and of course it all went tits up….it would have anyway even without Corzine, so bad was it’s reputation.
