About 6 to 8 months ago, I considered opening an account with Lind-Waldock so that I could play the gold and currency markets through futures and options. Ultimately, I decided that what I was trying to accomplish couldn't be done, so I never followed through on actually finalizing and funding the account.
In the month leading up to the MF Global bankruptcy, I probably got two calls a week from someone at Lind-Waldock, pressing me to follow through on the account. The timing is rather curious, no?
