Those in the state of MASS. who are opposed to the FTT please go out and vote for Brown today for senate. This will help stop the super majority in the senate and make thing better in case the FTT pops its evil head up again!! Lets start taking seats back one at a time!

Maybe we can have them both exiled somewhere

' Just read the article and it is good, they are talking about the global levy as to what Obama is doing here with the banks but doing it on a global scale and discussing that. The tobin tax seems to be off the table according to the article , so thats good. We can expect that someone might...

Everyone should write the cftc to the address in my previous post to put comments during this 60 day window.

FXCM talking about new rule: This is from a FXCM rep, and just an fyi I do not use FXCM, he just posted this on another forum from a question I had asked. I can give a basic statement from FXCM. A formal statement will most likely be released in the days ahead. FXCM is opposed to the 10:1...

I noticed and its unsettling to say the least. From 100-1 in Novemeber to now 10-1 . I figured 100-1 is where they would stop becuase I read the letter explaining why the nfa and cftc came to 100-1. I would like to see some brokers speak about this and tell us what they have heard and think...

I agree with that and when they made the last rule this past Nov. about the 100-1 margin for majors and 25-1 for the exotics, they say they wantesd to keep it inline with the imm futures like you mentioned above. But the 10-1 is ridiculous. I am not sure if we are allowed to comment as retail...

Got ya. We shall see if they do put out the details on Thursday, it could hit the markets then if they give us a detailed explanation how the banks will pay

The news of a transacation tax never made the market blink so I doubt this will rally stocks, but in any case it can actually be bad for the market. Because now this is real and banks will have to pay is the bottom line which is never good.

Trumka is a total hipocrate. Doesnt get what he wants he moans. There is a nice tax to raise money but hey its on his union workers already overly generous healthcare plans, so no way thats crazy according to him. He wants a second stimulus, well didnt the auto industry get a second stimulus...

I wouldnt use the term active investors becuase some are passive investors thru work like 401ks etc.. I would say " how to get main street to pay for wall street bailouts" , that about does it.

Its starting to look better for the republicans this year with dodd retiring and Harry Reid making those comments, the Dems are doing themselves in.

We all hope and think that this will not go through. But there are lots of folks with that half a brain or less who are waiting to screw us

Sarko is ridiculous every speech he makes has some sort of FTT whether it be for the Amazon rain forest, the climate, the poor, evil speculators. Can Sarko run again in 2012?

Here is the cnbc video for those who missed it: http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=1372185738&play=1 Its pretty funny the guy on the left has no idea what he is talking about or does not even make sense when he keeps talking about layers and high velocity trading.

Missed it on CNBC anything worthwhile, how was on for the tax Baker or Defazio?

Happy Holidays everyone! And lets make it a great new year and bury this tax!! Thanks for everyone's hard work in the fight against this tax!
