Where did you get the graph/stats?

But traders/funds *are* "end customers". Brokers OTOH, are not. Just for "the record", while i'm opposed to a transaction tax as discussed in the media, I believe something *has* to be done to dampen this HFT, short-term thinking/trading. It's reaching outright crazy levels. It seems to have...

Looks like zdreg had it right, though. There was no reference to %'s.

At the simulator, no doubt.

They have a version of that. It's called a "sales" tax aka VAT tax in some locales, as high as 30%.

That's a bad rule? What, you want thousands of high-schoolers dropping out to "trade" with their piggybanks??? Like we don't have enough of those, already.

It'd be almost funny if the foolish governments in the West went ahead with this tranny tax shit & then some country/exchange like China/Dubai or others decided to do trades without taxation. Wonder if they'd be blacklisted? You can't blacklist China! On second thought, China doens't have...

To accomplish what??? The best way for the American consumer to fight the bankers is not to use debt to buy crap they can't afford!!! Stop buying SHIT!

People will do anything when survival is necessary. Pride, stigma, whatever goes out the window. People will resort to cannibalism in some dire circumstances. Not paying your bill??? Ha! Pfffttt.

You can buy tradestation2000i but not 7 or 8 as those are internet/server based which connect to their "on-demand" datafeed. With TS2000i, you need to collect your own data. More problematic.

What are you talking about? Who's paying a penny & why?

You're damn right! I see other markets in others countries with a LOT less manipulation & thievery yet their bid/ask spread is a little wider at the open, but so what? These leeches just here just screw with you all fu^&ing day! That's why I've reduced my volume by 80% in the last year...

Spoken by someone who no doubt benefits from HFT! You correctly say there is little investor activity but then point out that algos & prop are adding "much" liquidity. Liquidity to whom? It appears they're trading amongst themselves. I see all kinds of BS games being played. These "liquity...

Greedy pigs who bought those apts. & the stupid banks who loaned them the money ought to be hauled in public ang given 100 lashes ala islamic punishment! These pigs are the ones who helped screw the economy in a BIG way. What was their plan? Probably jack up rents asap & turn those things...

No problem. I don't need no mo' stinkin' GREEDY banks!

Hey, at least (criminal) loan sharks are not allowed to mail you tons of BS offers to take their money! What the hell do these greedy banks expect when they practically beg people to take their money (at 30% interest!)? They're getting exactly what they deserve. Joe Sixpack saying "I ain't...

Instead, they're NOT lending and even worse are screwing those who are "borderline" & forcing these people to either accept being ripped off or as this woman did, just say fuck it! More people ought to do what she's doing. But it looks like most are just sheep nowadays. Maybe in another year or...

No. BUT, have you seen their ridiculous offers of cash advances lately? Their tricking people with low teaser rates which actually trigger 3-4% cash advance fees in addition to all kinds of other tricks. These banks are now legalized LOAN SHARKS! I say screw them too! Why the fuck pay these...

When are people going to realize that every time you buy some Chinese crap, someone in the US loses their job today & likely someone else won't have a job tomorrow as a result??? All these Walmarts, Kmarts, Sears, etc, etc that cater to Chinese crap ought to be closed! When is the...

One of the last industries to go, but sadly its days are numbered, too. What's left? Big government, funeral home directors & McDonalds.
