Are there any metrics on recent GCAP bottom fishing. Have they made any money off of the DB deal or Open E-cry or any of the other minuscule deals they have done.
I realize based on earnings they are poorly managed, but are these deals anything other than headlines, do they contribute at all? FX-Sol has been on life support for awhile is there any value left?

very very hard to tell, it’s not numbers they release or even something we can get through our sources
since it’s forex clients, even if they acquire 3000 of them – few months from now they burnt out and new ones need be acquired, the usual fx cycle

Hard to argue w/success GCAP current strategy a winner. For the shorts at least, buying dead accounts should help continue the roll. future appears to be kludge.

I would imagine profits or even cost recovery is negligible or they would tout it. They have no problem extolling the profitability of GTX up from zero. I look forward to the quiet when they do not mention their futures/cfd platform due to lack of interest by the market. Yet management gets ever increasing golden handcuffs.. also dint realize tudor sold a large chunk of their investment.
