    My first post on ET in 5 years. Has the signal-to-noise ratio improved here? Thoughts?

    There is a larger group of knowledgeable traders with the organic growth of ET. However as a percentage of posters they have declined. PS The platform itself is more useful because Baron tweaks it on a regular basis.

    Schwab order execution...

    It is boiler plate language which likely nearly every broker who gets paid for order flow uses. My interpretation is they will reroute to their liquidity providers to execute the order if a limit order becomes marketable during the routing process. The reason being that the liquidity providers...

    Hedge Fund Founder Paul Marshall Calls Pro-Trump Rioter’s Death ‘Murder’, then Deletes Twee

    Hedge Fund Founder Paul Marshall Calls Pro-Trump Rioter’s Death ‘Murder’, then Deletes Twee

    How likely is it now that a financial transaction tax will pass?

    Any transaction tax has to be ruled out. The goal is to get the camel's nose under the tent. Then the tax will be raised periodically. re:history of income tax the federal income tax was implemented to help finance World War I in 1913, the marginal tax rate was 1% on income of $0 to $20,000, 2%...
