High priced stocks have more, bigger gaps than low priced stocks. It's just math.

I don't see how that is a defensible statement given the number of professional traders, funds, and entire houses who have blown up due to leverage issues.

The brokerage was not exactly hoodwinked by Miller - there's still another layer to this onion.

It doesn't pose any risk to my business. If anything, the proposal would make things better for me.

Without Congress getting hands-on with the "Trading Industry", there wouldn't even be a "trading Industry" anymore. Bailout after bailout, favorable legislative action after favorable legislative action - now it's time to pay some of that back to the piper.

There is no "human factor" in technical analysis. If there is a human factor, it's no longer technical analysis. You are effectively making an argument against your own position, not for it.

These days, Lime is in the "really wants your business" category, for sure. They have been hurting something fierce, and their dev office is practically a ghost town these days.

He's scapegoating, plain and simple.

*Everything* is, ultimately, a consumption tax. It's about time to acknowledge this basic reality, and collect what we want to spend at the simplest collection points. Namely, ports and cash registers.

Why have such complicated systems? Base tarriff rate on all imports, from all sources. Base VAT on all purchases. All other corporate/personal "income" taxes eliminated. Rates determined by how much people want to spend. States and locals can pile on with additional VAT and/or property...
