    High Freq Trading Is 70% of Volume; Take It Away = Armageddon

    Goldman is feeling a lot of heat these days. They're just being smart in not raising more trouble with outlandish spending. But people really ought to continue the pressure on these thieves until they're broken up into several smaller units ala AT&T!

    High Freq Trading Is 70% of Volume; Take It Away = Armageddon

    Bring it on! Nothing wrong with a market decline/bear market. In case you haven't noticed this year has been the year with probably the smallest net intraday changes in price when compared to overnight gaps. In other words, almost every day you have huge gaps only to end the day with little...

    High Freq Trading Is 70% of Volume; Take It Away = Armageddon

    That's all BS! Armageddon from what??? A market can go up on very low volume just as it can go down on very low volume. What the hell do you want these LEECHES around for??? They don't provide liquity. They profit from it at the expense of long term traders & to a smaller degree...

    Cash for clunkers will get many people even more indebted

    But that's what the US has become. A nation that encourages people to consume, consume, go into debt, etc, just so the corporate thieves can keep paying themselves bigger & bigger bonuses.

    SEC fee higher than commission

    It's much better the the "proposed" .25% tax a few mos. ago. Also, these SEC fees, if they were even a bit higher, just might discourage all the bs penny-phuckers adding/removing fake quotes and generally screwing things. There even ought to be cancellation fees for abusers who constantly...

    How to Trade Europe

    Good idea on opening bank acct. Not so good with trading using bank trading dept. They usually stick it to you with commish up the wazoo. Or do you know of a specific bank that has good rates to trade there?

    Did the average American homeowner have a rental basement suite?

    While it's a good idea in the "city", it rarely works in the suburbs. One reason that comes to mind is coding. Most people, once aware that their neighbor next door has a rental, will complain to the city. All kinds of violations often pop up with these arrangements. If the property is not...

    Front Running, Flash Orders, or Blackbox/Algorithmic Manipulation?

    I've begun trading different oversea markets/exchanges & eventually plan to stop trading US crap & tell these thieves/con-artists along with the US exchanges/SEC to go scratch each other's balls. This american "trading" bs is ugly. Not a level playing field at all.

    Front Running, Flash Orders, or Blackbox/Algorithmic Manipulation?

    The exchanges really ought to charge for all this fake liquidity BS. There ought to be rules against that kind of crap. I understand an "illiquid" market/stock or "low-liquidity" stock but when these con-artists post fake bids/asks only to take it away as soon as they see a fill, well FUCK...

    High Speed Trading Unfair To Retail Traders

    A transaction tax would spell the end of the American securities 'industry'. A higher SEC 'fee' (the same you're paying now), on the other hand would help drive some of these BS 'bots out of town.

    Spitzer: Federal Reserve is ‘a Ponzi scheme, an inside job’

    Only dumb Americans can force a state governor to resign over screwing some chick. The rest of the world really has a laugh on that one!

    Jeremy Grantham on the commodity scarcity ahead

    I appreciate your explanation but yet, if any of this were true/made any sense, food product prices would reflect that and be 5-10 times more expensive than gasolline/oil, yet they're not. So, this equation seems to be something being pushed by some University types to suit their purposes...

    Jeremy Grantham on the commodity scarcity ahead

    So, where's the Obama rush to alternative energies? So far, it looks like all talk & no action. I don't see any new windmills going up. I don't see any solar farms going up either. The only thing going up is my electricity bill! I don't see any changes at all other than that idiot...

    Is it really this simple?

    Yeah, I hope there's a "revolution" to sack the crap out of those dirt bags.

    High Speed Trading Unfair To Retail Traders

    I totally agree with your points on exchanges screwing people with data fees. Why not get that revenue from trading fees instead? I have some platforms where I'm paying $60-$100 per exchange on the charting application & then another $60-100 for the execution platform *on the same exchange*...

    Saluzzi on HFTs

    Glad this issue is finally getting some press. Maybe, just maybe somebody who's not in Goldman's pocket at the SEC may introduce some rule(s) to stop some of that shit. Or maybe just raise the fees to make uneconomical for these scammers to operate.

    High Speed Trading Unfair To Retail Traders

    No. Because no matter if you're short or long term oriented, you're being scammed. Among the 1st things that ought to be changed is these order flashes & the ability to post fake bids/asks as well as this "colocation" BS. Another possibility is raise their SEC fees by 2-3 times the current...
