I'd like to see what their Newport Beach office looks like.

Great trade, Jimbo! I remember back when Kill the Sunshine had an NQ thread, which was for whatever reason superceded by this thread. Maybe it's time to start NQ thread 3.0 :cool:

Right-wing vigilante groups are now taking the streets to try to stop the rioters: <i>LONDON — The leader of a British far-right group says its members are taking to the streets of British cities in an attempt to quell riots that have spread across the country for four nights. Stephen...

Hopefully Lagarde is too preoccupied with the new criminal investigation against her to read (and support) that guy's article. :D http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111903366504576487882765895202.html

Think tank warns over 'counterproductive' Tobin Tax Tim Cave 13 Jul 2011 An influential European think tank has joined calls for the European Commission to scrap its plans for a financial transactions tax, which could raise up to €50bn a year from 2014, criticising the levy as a...

Not to mention Trichet is leaving his post in a few months . . .

That's a pretty small number considering most other reports have the total starting at 200B all the way up to 800B taxing all markets at 0.05%. Either they revised their tax rate way down or are only targeting one market (e.g. forex).

The question now is when the time comes to vote for an EU level FTT, will Italy vote no since they already have one (which would kill the EU FTT since the vote needs to be unanimous among members), or will they vote yes and have two FTTs, or will they vote yes and scrap their FTT in favor of the...

If true, that should throw a wrench in the EC's plan. Do you happen to have a link on this?

. . . or perhaps little Malta will be the spoiler: http://www.di-ve.com/Default.aspx?ID=72&Action=1&NewsId=84328 A significant majority of EU citizens favour the introduction of a tax on financial transactions, a survey shows, but Malta is the only country to buck the trend. The...

Unless I'm reading too much into this, the following article seems to imply that the FTT would be bundled with a bunch of other legislation, and that if a country wants to vote against FTT, it will have to vote against everything else bundled with it, thus causing a potential dilemma for a...

After 8 years and over 5K posts, Jack has reached Too-Big-To-Fail status . . . . If the mods let him go, the whole site might crumble :cool:

If you don't mind me asking -- how are your bars colored, especially the blue part? Is it related to bid/ask info? Don't think I've seen bars like that before. Thanks.

Runningbear -- take another look because on my NT chart trader there is a reverse button (called "REV") right below the "Buy Bid" button. You can also set up a hot key for reverse in the "Hot Key Manager".

To all the long time followers of this massive thread -- has the persistent momentum of this tax in Europe made you more concerned its passage or do you still think it will never be passed, even on an EU-limited basis? Also, does anyone with knowledge of the European Parliament know if they...

We have to assume that she read the IMF reports, and yet not only did she continue pushing for FTT after the reports were released, but she took the next step of suggesting EU should "go it alone". Since she disregarded the reports, there's no reason to think she'll call for new ones, but...
