    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    Simple email, I will no longer watch CNBC due to the networks explicit support of an investor tax. But there will be no tax, and to worry about this is a waste of time.

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    The German finance minister also announced his intention to promote his and Steinmeier's vision of a Tobin-style tax in Pittsburgh. This is surprising, because there has been no mention whatsoever of the Steinmeier/Steinbrück proposal in the preparatory sessions leading up to the G-20 meeting...

    China Probes ‘Dumping’ of U.S. Auto, Chicken Products

    It will be interesting how China behaves in the Treasury auctions from this point forward. It wasn't in the US best interest to put the tariff in place, bad economic and political policy.

    I clear through Fortis and have never had any issues. I'm paying about the same for slightly more volume. Wouldn't be Newedge by chance?

    Nat Spreads

    Landis I assume you trade CL and NG, I only ask because I'm looking into trading energies with some size. I currently trade FGBL, ZB, ZN and Fx. I scalp CL fine with 2 lots, but would like to move up to 10 lots and catch larger movements. What is you experience when dealing with 10+ lots?

    Financial Services Roundtable is the most powerful lobbying group out there and they send Scott Talbot Senior Vice President of government affairs to argue against the tax. This tax will not happen, end of story. This interview should put this to rest. This should show you the lobbying power...

    Call for End to Short Term Investing

    Agreed, Buffet 20 years ago had a radically different mindset, than he has today. Without the promise of short term growth, he wouldn't have the wealth that he has today.

    Call for End to Short Term Investing

    The excise tax proposal was thrown in there by Bogle (Vanguard) and Trumka (AFL-CIO). They have been pushing for this for the better part of a decade and have gotten zero traction with it. Markets are opening up all over the world, taxes like this are a relic of the past not the future. Look to...

    NG CL spread

    So the question is CL going lower, or is NG going higher. This divergence isn't going to last forever. I see CL trading $55 by year end. Chinese artificial demand can't last forever, and OPEC decision to maintain quotes opens the door for lower prices in the future. The only caveat being dollar...
