If only you paid up and weren't dodgy, how things could have been different. Thanks a lot C’mon Chris, yes, maybe you didn’t actually get ‘margin called’ (a telephone call) but you knew exactly what was going on in your portfolios and you know your margin call exceeded $150million across your cross margin group.

Thanks a lot

I have never called myself a 'gun' trader. I have never said to anyone I have assets of $40,00. Kerry Packer did not call me a 'market genius' but rather said 'You know nothing about markets. You've got big balls and you are lucky'. I was once lucky but things change and I can handle it. Oh yes, in addition I have never said my accounts did not exceed their margins. I said that I did not get 'margin calls' . The fool here Mr Schwab is your self. I am frank and I'm no fool. The margin calls did not come when the market price of my shares exceeded my equity. Why? You'll have to ask someone else that. I can't help you. Try picking up the telephone, other journalists aren't phobic about it! Perhaps you should leave this stuff to real journaiists with proper jobs who do not avoid their subjects for fear the truth will ruin a mocking article.

'Margin call exceeded $150 million'. Well what can I say? A lie, an untruth, a malicious fabrication or are you just an idiot playing on mum's computer while she cooks dinner? I guess it's the Crikey method to extrapolate on untruths. Tom you should be on the staff here the way you make up ‘facts’ and then comment upon them. ‘Margin call exceeded $150 million’.

Only 4 factual errors in your piece Mr. Schwab, according to your target. Still your editor ( if one so exists), lets other articles through with even more glaring inaccuracies and unwarranted prejudices. So: don't feel too bad about being shown up to be a charlatan.
