Not surprising, as the founder who handed off the company to lesser talents to run it should come as no surprise. He is now tethered to FXCM which has greater opportunity. I am curious what the consulting relationship is., and if there are any conflicts w/ his Faros/FXCM connection. I would imagine there is no love lost b/w stevens and galant. As one of the largest shareholders in Gain at the time of the IPO I am certain GS dropping the price from ~14 to 9 on the eve of the IPO was not well received.
