The forum that mentioned this is unrelated to trading. The discussion came up matter of factly when someone noted the illogical price action surrounding bad news for certain stocks. Cars get recalled and the carmaker's stock goes up, that sort of thing. Buy the rumor sell the news I guess. No...

From what I understand, once you're a member of an exchange, you're expected to pay self employment tax to the IRS. Depending on your volume, it may be better to try negotiating with your broker for lower fees than lease a seat.
