Stock traders do not migrate to trading bonds. Do you have any idea what constitutes a round lot in gov't bonds. Stock traders don't have the capital or the skill set to trade gov't bonds. Maybe pepper futures.:cool:
If Mike Bloomberg, who should know better the ill effects of FTT , suggested an FTT the lemmings in a Democratic Congress and a Biden presidency will surely follow.
It will not raise enough revenue to fund Medicare. Most projections are based upon that trader behavior will not change after imposition of a FTT. An FTT will eliminate retail day traders and HFT traders.
It is a good question because you use extreme numbers to clarify a point. The answer is you bought the shares for $1000. There is no issue. You paid for them with the funds in your account Your account is now worth $1M +10k - minus what you paid for option.
Your response is the fuse. If you want to feel that you are being shamed be my guest.
Actually my thought will save you a lot of money in the future if you follow it.
Nobody was trying to shame you. You have a short fuse and that will cost you in the market.
A reasoned response to my post would have been what do you suggest?
