There's NO support for such a tax in the U.S. The U.S. Senate is probably 98 against; 2 for. Meanwhile in the HOR there's virtually no support, possibly a few "fringe" social democrats. Basically, here's how it is. I grew up in New York and live/work in Chicago. I've been around the...

For CPO accounting you may wish to talk with Robert Green: www.greencompany.com He does a lot to advocate the interests of traders like us. I would consider him to be a very reputable accountant, and should be able to help you. GL with your new pool!!

The UNION people should return to the ASSEMBLY LINES and stop helping the federal government confiscate the hard-earned capital of private enterprise. These fools don't understand how economics work or the deleterious effects of less liquidity in our capital markets. People who assemble...

Good. They should've listened to the team from Schlumberger (SLB) which told the BP company man to dump kill fluid down the well because it was unstable. That was approximately six hours before the rig blew up. SLB knew it was unsafe so they took a chopper off the Deepwater Horizon earlier...

The May 6th stock market sell-off is GREAT NEWS for those opposing a market-killing tax on transactions. The market crashed because for approximately 10-15 minutes nobody was buying shares; not the specialists; not the High-Frequency ("HF") firms; not the locals; not the retail investor, etc...

+1 HF Trading does indeed provide greater liquidity. They often create tighter "spreads" which can benefit other traders wililng to buy/sell market. If HF firms decided to pull their bids or offers, creating a "vacuum" that's their prerogative. You & I would do the same if we suddently...

I voted for Stock Index futures because I love ES's liquidity (most days). If I stop out it's usually at my stop price, which over time, saves money. Additionally, transactional costs are fairly low and the market's open over 23-hours per day. For data I've subscribed to DTN's ProphetX...
