Yes, but why August? It would have been more logical to choose July 1 st to have a full semester.

Anyone noticed the date the french retail stamp tax will be applied? August 1st. There are chosing this date so that they can argue that the volume fall is due to vacation of operators ... But it is really dangerous for french economy because the lack of liquidity will accentuate the crash this...

It's official. I read this morning in french press that "the non-speculative activity of market making" by banks will be exempted in french new stamp tax. Zdreg owned us in fact on this subject, despite his overabusive compulsive use of the "P" word. I would have never ever thought any...

No seasoned spreaders to answer?Those are good questions.

He must be 20 now , 15-16 at the time. He really grew up since. It's true he looked really small in this clip. If you have a chance , watch his part in "Extremely sorry"( 2009 ). These stairs have been ollied since by Jaws, the guy who also made the biggest set of stairs this year.

The new tax will most likely be "l'impot de bourse" he repealed 4 years ago, plus the 2 new things french politicians saw enough times in the news to understand they were kinda bad : CDS and HFT... I don't know if we'd better laugh or cry. One thing will be interesting though, if banks will...

This spread is shaping well now after the initial heat. Low was 1-2 week after my supposed entry date. Of course I didn't take it...LOL:(

Margins can't go much lower, right?

There are just getting a foot in the door they decided to repeal 4 years ago in France and I don't remember when in Germany. It's laughable if you think about it. They want to create a precedent in creating a tax they just repealed. If that's not moronic, I don't know what is...LOL. There is...

Of course, I don't feel safe at all( and ultimately I will leave France, just not now...). France is indeed preparing a tax on futures as well in its temporary tax, but it will on french futures and not on french people trading foreign exchanges. Even politicians are understanding that...
