I would suggest instead of reading spam from a short site doing solid FXCM DD and reading the news. They would not take a buyout below $11.20 per share!
Everyone knows Citi never has a clue. They don't even know how to run their own company. They were at $545 and dropped to $46 and still can't get their stock up after 7 years. This management could run circles around them. To always mention what Citi thinks of this stock is crazy. The entire market thinks city is junk and doesn't have a clue.

And this is the longs and shareholder reply to the shorts side of the report you posted! "Speaking to Benzinga, Former GFT Manager of Global Risk Jeff Wilkins said that a rumored $5.25 per share buyout of FXCM Inc FXCM 3.64% by Charles Schwab Corp SCHW 2.39% “absolutely makes sense.”
Wilkins is currently with ThinkLiquidity, a firm that provides software to help brokers manage risk. He said that $5.25 is quite a premium compared to the current share price of around $2.80.
“But last week, the stock was trading around $17, and the only thing different is the cash situation and possible reputational damage,” Wilkins said.
Wilkins added that if Charles Schwab is a suitor, it brings immediate credibility to the table.
FXCM was trading more than 10 percent lower in Friday's session, while Charles Schwab was down 1 percent."
