These stupid senators, instead of telling their constituents their country is bankrupt are blaming the downfall on some technicality bs "NSS" rule. And they quote "Rolling Stone"!!! What kind of morons does the US senate have??? Some "leaders". WTF?! Stop blaming the country's...

I believe you forgot the 'minor' detail of providing security for the tanker truck along the way. Let's see, you might need several humvees, a few high speed troop carriers, well paid crew & provisions & maybe even some type of insurance or cash payment to compensate the family of whoever...

Especially when the Chinese can buy their way into a lot of these countries already, nowadays. US is seriously losing its influence in many ways, First, it's now seen as a debtor country that only issues IOU's while the Chinese have a fairly large kitty of US dollars (which they hope don't...

Nobody's stupid enough to go to war for worthless US dollar. Or US treasury paper that will never be repaid, either.

Some Sri Lankans make a few $million illegally and end up in jail. Goldman rapes 300 million fools for $billions every quarter and gets away with it. Hmmm.

The problem is, wherever this new exchange goes, big money will be involved with the financing to build it, move it there, etc, etc. That same "big money" will then turn around & demand some concession from the exchange where it'll be favored in some way and the same bullshit you have now...

But the "incumbent" exchanges & their locales will fight it tooth & nail against it. There's just too much money against it and most of the current infrastructure would be quite pricey to move around, considering all the HFT & algo boxes would all want to relocate nearby too. Unless the...

Most volume nowadays is black boxes & HFT's tickling each other, anyway.

Are you setting guys up with trading accounts or only with the equipment/software/infrastructure to trade? What sort of fees/rates can one expect?

Like I've been saying for last several years... US is becoming communist while the communists quietly become capitalists!

Whatever/whoever gets rid of algos & HFT gets my vote.

Completely agree. US market is already garbage, comparable only to 'Vegas slot machine atmosphere. Might as well bring on the tax and get rid of all the leeches & parasites!

What exactly do you have in mind? Maybe if you're a bit more specific, someone could point you in the right direction? What sort of "formulas" would you be working with and what applications/platform do you presently use?

Strongest military against *whom*? Iraq? Afghanistan? Vietnam? US military is VERY top heavy. Against an opponent with millions of men, US folds or would have to resort to nuclear weapons which others also have. Who wins then???

Yeah, of course, why didn't I think of that?! China will loan the US a couple of $trillion so US navy can kick China's ass! Comments like these only show how stupid many Americans are. Let's all sing, we're #1, #1, #1!

your father is right, you're a dummy.

Ha! Leave it to government to figure out ways to keep millions of imbeciles occupied screwing with the rest of the tax-paying population.

Often, I'd agree with that statement except in this case. I haven't yet heard of Chinese mattresses. I doubt those imports would have been much of a threat to the mattress manufacturing model. Last time I was buying a mattress, they were mostly American & in the $1000+ range. Seemed like a...

These vulture/private equity assholes ought to be forced to give back all the cash they looted from these companies or get their asses thrown on jail! In America, you go to jail for stealing bubble gum from a store, but rip off $millions from a company and cause thousands to lose their jobs...

Markets are a hell of a scam. Take indexes & index data for example... There' no need for Dow Jones to 'publish' their indexes 3-5 minutes late. No need at all! But if you have the dough, somebody will get those indexes updated in real-time. Not 5 min behind, not 15 sec late, but...
