I believe one can invest and withdraw funds with a debit card as well, which is a lot cheaper to maintain than a credit card. And there shouldn't be any fees when you use a card, as opposed to skrill, which does have some fees, as far as I know.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced it will award a former company insider who gave it a detailed tip on securities violations, with a sum between $5 and 6 million. According to the press release, without the information he gave to the watchdog, the wrongdoing would have...

Me too. I admire such people so much, I need peace and quiet to be able to focus when I trade, doing so while waiting in line for fast food (or waiting in line for anything else) would be too distracting

Ouch. People should really be careful about disclosing that sort of information. It's annoying at best (because then you'll have to waste time and money to renew those documents) and very dangerous at worst (for obvious reasons).

I can't imagine trading on a smartphone, I really need the big screen of the PC to be able to figure out my strategy.

I think it's for the best to just avoid binary options altogether. That's not trading, it's gambling, and I for one don't know of any rich gamblers who got rich from gambling itself.

With the mugger there's added psychological and sometimes physical damage from the assault itselt. However, I agree that white collar criminals cause a lot of damage that is not necessarily visible to the public or we don't take them as seriously because they're not physically violent.

I generally avoid leaving my real number/full name/real address anywhere on the Internet I can avoid doing so. I have no idea who would have access to that information and why and what they'd do with it once they have it. A broker demo account is no different in that regard.

Don't forget the "get eaten by a bear" part. :D

Oh, I see now. That makes sense, although it also sounds like a recipe for disaster. Thank you for explaining it to me.

I understand why they're doing it - they are a business after all and they're looking for clients, which is normal - but I agree, it is annoying, even when the broker is legitimate.

What's a passported broker? A broker that is working in the UK but is licensed in an offshore zone? Or something else?

A legitimate broker usually has information on their website about the organization that has licensed them and is overseeing them. It's a matter of a little research to find out whether this information is true or not. Unfortunately many people don't actually know they should do this or even how...
