I think swing trading say on a 4hr chart or even larger profit target day trading on a 60 min chart would be doable on cfds for indexes/forex(tighter spreads than stocks). But how would you get access? would you have to physically relocate to canada? Is there any chance they become "allowed"...

A lot of discussion on the deficit today with Geithner suggesting using remaining Tarp funds to pay it down some. As long as the U.S continue to be in dire straits in need of revenue, we're in the crosshairs. It's an absolute given that taxes are going up across the board, and hopefully we...

How many republicans can replace dems in 2010 might decide our fate.

Shit, that IS a scary sentence.

Ok, seems like their/her approach to this now is to exempt the 401ks and pensions. Daytraders are wastable.

Bad news. Erin Burnett doing another segment on trader tax this hour. She will not leave us alone. BUT don't flood her with emails. As seaside has pointed out, let's not inadvertently fan the flames.

You know, there is this newly gathering anti-wall st. sentiment brought on by the "wall st. is recovering(at the expense of taxpayers) but main street is not" situation. Increased visibility of the RAJs fuel the distrust. At some point, the public rage against wall st. will hit a crescendo and...

Ahhhhhh Shucks, Chicago eliminated.

Ok, everybody root root root for Chicago 2016! Obama surely would want a vibrant Chicago hosting the olympics. Reduces tax chances : )

Guru, I'm scared of her thinking of the idea in general of a transaction tax gathering steam irrespective of what gets done right now(which most know will be nothing). It sorta leaves an eerie feeling that there's more to come down the road, both from the forces pushing this idea and her.

You know, I was feeling a little better about this thing knowing that the public approval ratings of unions are tanking and that they're the main proponents of this shit. Now my nerves are zapped again. According to our Ms. Burnett, the euros increasingly pushing this thing constitutes a sign...

WTF is it with her? Another piece on trader tax by Burnett on streetsigns and she keeps lingering on "would this really hurt anyone"? She cannot be cured.

No mention of transaction tax. The mutual admiration was electric tho as he began, "white house is nice but there's nothing like being back in the house of labor," and the standing o was unending. I think we can take some comfort though in the low favorable ratings of unions currently. I...

Man oh man is he whippin up class warfare.

You guys seeing the Obama loves AFL-CIO show on the tube now? Scary.

By eminis I mean ES,YM,etc.

Do these currency contracts roll on the same date as eminis? If not, when? I think they expire same as eminis though. Also, are the roll dates different for each currency? Thanks for the help!

THE ONE thing that came out of the Geithner townhall last night and its analysis today is that we need to be prepared for taxes to go up because it's inevitable and he(Geithner) confirmed that. Now, we know Bush tax cuts will be phased out, marginal tax rates will go up, capital gains up, etc...

At least we got a decent defense on air this time. I liked the emotion that David Lutz showed arguing againt this garbage. We need to absolutely bombard CNBC with request to set Burnett straight.

Did you guys see her facial expression when Cramer said "...that'll kill the market"? For whatever reason, she does not yet grasp the impact of this "tiny" tax on essentially eliminating short-term trading, and therefore eliminating a bulk of CNBC's audience. She's stuck on the notion that...
