    Detroit - bust

    This is a learning lesson. Heavily democratic/liberal/socialists (they are all the same) cities and states have the worst stats in the nation. Highest crime, highest taxes, highest poverty, and most importantly are broke and will collapse. The whole model of the democrats is to buy votes, to...

Stiglitz said, the tax is "much more feasible today" than...

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    Oh lord. Why are you even saying this? Once any tiny tiny tax gets implemented, the socialists democrats will raise it. Stop this nonsense! I don't even trade stocks, just futures and forex, and all the tiny tiny taxes they want would severely hurt me, and I swing trade. They hurt because...

    Krugman: Bring back 91% tax rate

    This has been the utopia of the democrats/liberals since FDR. They have worked hard at destroying our freedoms and capitalism to enslave so many on the dole of the guberment to ensure votes forever! The demorats are the party of the KKK, against freeing the slaves, against the civil rights...

    Overnight Positions in NinjaTrader

    Here was my problem: I swing trade, so say I had a position on with a stop and target in. When I reconnected IB to Ninja, it would not pick back up the stop and target with the strategy. The stop and target would be working on TWS, but Ninja had no control (move stop to BE, etc). Ninja never...

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    This! While I don't want to see any more fees/taxes, if these loony liberals would understand math and make it a tiny fee per transaction and not on the value, they could raise their liberal money without destroying free markets.

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today
