Talk:Cantor Fitzgerald

message: Well, congrats to the wack job that added the Cantor-Fitzgerald tinfoil hat theory to the article. It has brought HUGE disrepute to the Wikipedia via an Instapundit link. Good job - hope you're pleased with yourself. Danlovejoy 02:39, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Inform him the plasticity of the English language is one of its strengths. Then segway into a life lesson on how there is more than one right answer; and/or the appropriate context and subtle meaning of informal spelling. PS: How do you spell "segway"? :') - RoyBoy 800 00:11, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Segue, but I also think skillz was being used in an ironic/playful way.  I have sympathy for employees of this company and for their families.  It's unfortunate that some people don't and have to construct a fantasy world.  It's even worse when they try to bring that fantasy world to an encyclopedia (when it belongs in an uncyclopedia).

text: Does the talk page look like the main article? People can spell however the hell they want on talk pages. It's not doing you, or anyone else for that matter, any harm. But point taken about tinfoil hat people. We have an issue with one at Sydney Hilton bombing at the moment. - Ta bu shi da yu 13:52, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: I am moving it from "Cantor Fitzgerald Securities" to "Cantor Fitzgerald L.P." which is how the firm refers to itself in press releases. JuntungWu 14:41, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: Holy Moses.  I came here to see if I could learn something about Cantor Fitzgerald, and I find an article half of whose content is dedicated towards criticisms of the company.
I know very little about this company, but I am sure that they have contributed more to the financial world than a series of scandals.  Perhaps someone with more intimate knowledge of them could expand the company info section, and maybe give the criticisms section a POV brushup? SmartGuy 18:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

message: "Cantor Fitzgerald L.P. . is a global financial services firm at the forefront of financial and technological innovation." sounds a lot like straight up advertising, changing it to be more neutral  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.90.139.12 (talk) 14:25, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, I removed a few of the "global" and "in the world" references. Where else would they be? In a parallel universe? Seriously, any kid can create a web site that claims to be "worldwide" now days, so does not convey any information whatsoever. W Nowicki (talk) 17:22, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

message: Cantor is not an investment bank. It's a broker.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.133.102.59 (talk) 21:54, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Investment bank? 

message: While Fox News can state "Some executives at Cantor Fitzgerald are steaming mad at their boss, chief executive Howard Lutnick for quietly pocketing a chunk of a $135 million settlement the company received from American Airlines (AAL) over negligence related to the 9-11 terrorist attacks that killed more than 600 of the brokerage firm’s employees", lifting it verbatim and inserting it with only a citation and no quotation marks is pretty dodgy.  I am rewriting it.GeeBee60 (talk) 15:16, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The section "Relations to Tether and Terrorist Financing" had been blanked so I restored it, but then noticed a few edits earlier someone removed it saying it wasn't reliably sourced. So I'm not sure if it belongs in the article or not, good sources aren't my expertise on this site :P If someone could have a look to see if it belongs or not, that'd be super helpful!
