I read a post by Zerohedge that decimalization enabled bigger and better frontrunning than ever before. I.E. decimalization led to an adjustment of the VWAP that is used to buy stock. The VWAP goes higher, even though it should have been lower. So the liquidity you see is FAKE. (ex. flash crash).

OMG. I just realized current pensions are paid by current taxes. In a depression taxes goes down hard, so pensions will go down hard also.

TMI

maybe not. if fills today are worser due to HFT frontrunning, bid/ask spread might widen but in reality go smaller. Yes you will literally see it widen, but these spreads can effectual be smaller without HFT frontrunning. this is my hypothesis. HFT disappear, and investor won't notice much...

a transaction tax is basically a doubling or tripling of commission. for most, and a milleniumnning of HFT commissions. If you go back to 1980 you had the same situation, and the market did just fine. fear is overrated. sure in 1980 you didnt had daytraders, they will die.

A transaction tax isn't that bad for real investors. In fact, the effect might be negliable.

Dunno. Gated communities. Pacific Islands. Maybe they actually believe in their crap, like a religion. people tend to avoid short-term pain, even if the pain will still be given on longer term, and even if that longer term pain is greater by a multiplier because you didnt take the short-term...

Because stupid people do stupid stuff. Probably to do with greed or something. Placate the masses with ponzi's while earning yourself a nice salary for giving people 8% pensions, and get out before SHTF.

There is a good reason state pensions cannot last. They assume a 8% growth rate of their funds. If you understand compounding, you understand that is mathematicly impossible.

you're making sense. I also feel changing tax rates from 10 to 11 or from 33 to 32 doesn't do much. That probably because GDP is a function of credit and it doesnt matter if credit is in the hands of a person or the government. it simply gets added to the GDP when spent. ofcourse in the hands of...

Also important is to test for bull and bear. And different types of your market. Test ES, DOW and NQ, Russell 1000, Russell 2000 Russell 3000, Russell Microcap, FTSE, NIKKEI, EUroStoxx, Emerging makrets etc.

because daytrading is usually discretionary, and discretionary trading doesn't work. that's why there are no profitable screencasting daytraders.

1. nope its true. Debt was 300%/GDP 2. you were talking about tax evasion, not about tax evasion code. the tax evasion data is not exist. The tax evasion code like I said you can measure. 3. if you call ppl whores you are out of arguments. you sir, have just been served

public servants are bought and paid for by politicians, who are bought and paid for by corporations, who are headed by the 1%. pensions assume 8% a year compounding. So corrupt and flies against all mathematics.

the democrat did highered taxes.

I dont speak latin. Im talking about a debt bubble, as in, total aggregrate debt. Federal + rest ( housing creditcards, stock margin etc). This happened in 1920's huge debt bubble. For this exists data. But your really just saying anecdote. How do you prove tax evasion? By definition it's...

longterm we are heading into a depression. why invest in buy and hold dividend? the triple top on S&P is a magnet, but regular SPY works just fine for capital appreciation like that

The best are swing trading systems. I have one that has an average trade of 4%. You can leverage up with triple ETF and make 12%!!

So true. In 1980 the republicans started lowering taxes and increased government spending. Then democrat highered taxes and increased government spending. Now you have two parties that increase government spending to keep the ponzi going. It doesn't actually matter how much you tax or how...

It is unlikely a CEO is chosen based on mere merit. Thus the reward is mostly not justified. CEO position is usally based on who you know. It's basically a Ponzi scheme, like royalty.
