I'm just trying to point out that they can't have even one significantly large investor if they haven't even broke the $100M USD level. In the U.K., FXCM would be a small company forex outfit. According to this report, it almost appears that none of these guys are all that safe.

So if the big players don't put their money in these companies, should we?
you have to remember that the forex industry is still very new, what ten years old? These firms haven't had the time to grow into multi-billion dollar companies like schwab but since most of the large firms have institutional investors I would feel comfortable trading with an Oanda or FXCM.
