You might be right , will try and find it!

The thing I have been trying to find out about Dimon is his position on the tax. If we recall in testiomony before congress specifically before Barney Frank, Frank was asking a group of Banking CEO'S about a tax on transactions. I am not sure if Dimon was the one who kind of agreed with it. Mr...

Thanks Robert, I agree :) Hope you have a good weekend!

Merkel again today! However, she said after a European Union summit Friday that "I don't think we can introduce a bonus tax for this year" in Germany. She said that might raise "constitutional problems." She noted that bonuses are more of an issue in Britain than in Germany, and renewed a...

Good old Switzerland, what I do not like is how this past year US has started closing off loopholes in tax system to switzerland. I am afraid Swissy might be afraid to take US business or may bow to US when it comes to whatever tax laws we want to pass

I would not be so sure for now, and to move on and not fight something while it is actually gaining steam worldwide is not the answer. Obama has said nothing, and Geithner has said he has not seen a working tax YET. So there is always an out, and as long as we are in a huge debt hole anything...

I agree that Defazio's bill would not pass without exemptions, but thats what happens when congress and senate debate the bill they will fine tune it. There will be exemptions, but now as I hear some rumblings there will be exemptions for market making but they will be very strict with it in...

Thanks I know this , I am talking about pressuring them again! and again, something and someone will crack.

Lots of news out there today about the EU calling for the tobin tax to fund bailouts. They had the EU council meeting last night. I havent seen the final communique yet, but there was big support throughout the EU member nation for a transaction tax. If it is in the final communique it was...

That article is a quote from his bloomberg interview last week In a talk with Bloomberg TV's Al Hunt on Dec. 4, Geithner spoke about the unemployment crisis and the debate over so-called Tobin taxes, a proposed global levy on financial

Thanks we can email reps/sens from states in the midwest whose main income is farming. If enacted this could also drive up the prices of food costs to us main street americans as well. The tax could be passed along to us in higher prices, from wheat, soybeans, pork, cattle-beef, dairy...

The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, described Britain’s tax as an “attractive idea” while speaking at a meeting of European center-right leaders in Bonn, but said she preferred the idea of a levy on financial transactions...

Scary when the unions have this much power, and the unions were the ones all pressing for our transaction tax. Just look what they got for healthcare: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091210/ap_on_bi_ge/us_health_care_overhaul

Not sure about other countries but no matter what the US congress would have to vote for it. Just like one of the US SENS said about warning Obama not to make any political decisions in Copenhagen for the climate meeting becuase he doesnt make that law congress does and they would not want him...

This was good news in Novemeber when it came out but since then they have rethought there words and are looking at the tax. Who knows if its just trying to appease people by saying they are going to look at the tax when clearly the do not support it but we shall find out in April.

I agree, I think there will be exemptions, but I do not think prop shops will be exempt. When it comes down to fighting for exemptions the big firms will fight for there personal exmpetions for their inhouse business. Not the little prop firms. Sure they do a lot of shares but the profit margin...

I got ya:)

Is tradesports still around? I loved that site just a few years ago I was trading with them it was awesome!! I am in the US as well traded with them it seems they are no longer around.

I was releived to hear of Germany against the tax last week but now it is a little scary. I think the US doesnt care about most countries, but as long as they have UK FRANCE and Germany along for the ride with the tax thats all they need. They keep saying globally and the preface that with...
