Thanks for the reply,

That is the one I have heard most and seems reasonable but it is not even close to a proof. I was asking if there was anything approaching proof. Unfortunately I am not a statistical savant so I won't be the one developing a counter-proof. It just strikes me that everyone is so trusting of offshore unregulated businesses. If Pokerstars opens a stocktrading devision will you invest with them or perhaps use Fidelity instead. I think I would use fidelity but perhaps PS would offer juicy terms and a bonus on mutual funds.
