    Why does Milton Friedman prefers Fiat currency instead of Gold standard?

    spread vs volatility?

    Why dont you try SPY, spread is only 0.01 and it usually moves around a $1 range intraday. QQQQ moves only around 0.60 per day on a 0.01 spread, but it´s way more liquid than SPY, you can easily trade it on 10k shares or even more...
