if these kind of threads start to surface you know a bear market isn't far away

interactive brokers charges the french tax on adr's, i would assume most brokers are. better safe than sorry. anyway, this is what this topic keeps coming back to. the EU FTT has far reaching consequences for every exchange in the world, who are supposed to be doing all of the hard work of...

surely they must have reached some sort of a compromise? why the hell would sweden for example vote in favour, and the uk abstain, otherwise?

as a follow-up: if there's a vote tomorrow about the qualified majority on the ftt netherlands will vote in favour. they will not decide to either join or not join until they know what the actual proposal entails.

any background on this? i don't know the website, is this reliable?

anger is a problem for me too. in every way as some described, throwing stuff, hitting the shit out of something, yelling, shouting, bang my head against the wall, whatever. i know it's pathetic, and fortunatelly there's nobody to witness it, because normally i'm really laid back. it's like an...

don't worry. he will..

again, good luck. from the type of person you appear to be based on your posts here you'll definitely need a lot of it to succeed in trading (let alone life).

haha, if that's what suits you, sure. and good luck on your next straddle on some mainstream piece of news the whole world already knows about!

very good question.. i don't get it either.

the idea that the market will either tank or rally is extremely naive. the expected scenario of this thing moving into the beginning of 2013 en then being resolved has long been priced in. only if something completely unexpected happens things will start moving. it's a very bad strategy...

so assuming this post is still current, we can update it a bit. romania and lithuania both seem willing to vote yes now so you have definite yes from "the 11": austria (10), belgium (12), estonia (4), france (29), germany (29), greece (12), italy (29), portugal (12), slovakia (7), slovenia...

thanks Kirkx! i've checked out the stockwatch-offering and unfortunately their data-set is incomplete to the purpose i want to use it for. i don't need real-time date, just a daily file with closing prices, volumes, etc. are there any other vendors anybody knows of?

assuming from your handle you're from Hong Kong. this would not be good as to my knowledge there's no current tax treaty between the USA and HK (but it might be worth to check, my knowledge is not up to date). However, for other non US nationals reading this thread: if the US does have a tax...

definitely. so what do our US posters think? does this have any chance of passing?

the original draft of the European Commission FTT is nothing like the French FTT in every respect. There will be a 2nd draft in 2013, but I'd be extremely surprised if it would not apply to daytrading. One of the ideological reasons behind the existence of FTT-plans in the first place (apart...

i agree. i like the subtle comment about the us going out of its way to impose and force its own restrictions on other countries as well though (tax related, but also on other areas; patriot act for example)

does anyone know of a vendor that sells end-of-day options data for the Montreal Exchange? we all know there are countless sites offering US options end-of-day files for download, but I can't seem to find one for the Canadian market that does so at a reasonable rate. Thanks for any suggestions!

the story has now also been picked up by dutch media; could be bigger than i had first thought. let's hope so. not only with regards to 2016, also with regards to downplaying ambitions to a sort of a stamp tax.
