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

    there's no way can compromise with our free market. a smaller percentage is no justification at all. you could tax EVERYTHING saying it's only a small percentage. we are already paying taxes with our money invested and gains made. politicians think they could make a certain amount of money...

    I'm shorting AAPL and GOOG

    Futures vs Equity Trading

    the biggest drawdown in your backtest dictates your size. it shows how much you can afford to lose compared to your trading capital. I didn't know this back then. but it was more like having no plan that made me lose in trading futures. now I stick to stocks. every single stock is like a...

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

    so you see, the main question is how to most effectively collect the most tax without hurting, then sell it as benevolence. 0.014% is what the Germans already have.
