    Let's talk about Microsoft

    Pay attention to revenue. It does not reflect the optimistic statistics and assumptions you are referring to. Most of the applications are overweight dinosaurs soon to be extinct.

    A really small Wall Street tax can make a really big difference

    There is already tax on capital gains and income from capital property as well as trading as income. Therefore FTT is double taxation. FTT is tax on free flow of capital which means it is fundamentally flawed on economic grounds not to mention that negative outcome will be taxed as well meaning...

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

    Few details on Clinton HFT. It only mentions taxing excessive order cancellations. She is not going to hurt her handlers though. I hope this is only for creating headlines to show that she is going after Wall Street.

    Problem when connecting tws activex from Qt

    Check the signature required for calling eConnect, IB APi documentation may be not be up to date. Always check release notes.

    SEC Announces Major Hacking / Trading Scheme Bust

    Those countries mass produced theoretical physicists, mathematicians and engineers when education was for free. They were behind in applying science because there was no free economy there.

    Haskell

    I checked briefly Haskell and my impression is that it is more a religion than programming language. Whatever it does has been done before. It has to be programmed itself in another programming language (C) with multiple steps between Haskell code and the runtime meaning slower execution and...

    New Life for FTT (Financial Transaction Tax)

    Democracy and free economy have been subverted and tax system is one of the tools of oppression and not an economic tool any more (Lerner case for example).
