Maingate at http://maingatebullion.com/index.html

Just a word of caution.

Maingate is a BVI registered group of companies with global operation in USA, UK, Middle East, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Mainland China and Japan. It is one of the main brokers in the foreign exchange and precious metal trading markets. In all business transactions, Maingate strictly follows the rules and regulations of the National Futures.....

Start trading with the security of an FSA regulated company.

Now there’s the rub; I could not find any trace of a Maingate in the FSA register here:
http://www.fsa.gov.uk/register/home.do

They have no addresses There is no way of contacting them other than a single telephone number 1-212-6181240 which appears to be a landline in Lower Manhatten New York, 10005

No web presence apart from the Maingate Bullion website itself

Makes you wonder ...

It's an obligation of FSA registration that companies quote their registration number on their website. This company doesn't.

Wonder no more HD.
Yes, the phone number being interesting.
+1 (212) 618-1240 leads us to FRIEDLAND CAPITAL GROUP which is a company categorized under Security Brokers, Dealers, And Flotation Companies.
Address is apparently 14 WALL ST STE 1225 New york, New York, United States, 10005

Phone Number +1 (212) 618-1240

Company Website: information not available
Estimated Number Of Employees: information not available
Estimated Yearly Revenue: $154,000 (US dollars I presume)
SIC Code: 6211

Then hang onto your hat because the same phone number appears on http://www.unionwealth.com/en/introduci ... ?TypeId=67
There's either something fishy going on, or perhaps the companies are in the same office sharing the one phone?

Oh dear.

Must I give my dissertation on appropriate use of the word 'which' ? :mrgreen: Perhaps another day. The whole sentence wouldn't get past a Junior School English teacher.

More particularly, why would a company based in the USA need to be registered with the FSA???
