Comment by Honest Capitalist — September 30, 2008 @ 8:46 pm I forgot to add - there’s a moral issue here too. One should not destroy the livelihood of a group of law-abiding people without a damned good reason. Daytraders and scalpers did not cause excessive leverage in banks and...

exactly and this is why this would never even come close to a majority, heck it wouldnt even be a majority in the democratic party and we all know how republicans feel about this tax. increase tax to joe the investor or joe the trader would never fly no matter how you spin it. it still spreads...

become an exempt trader thats the only solution, now how much that would cost if you are an individual trader i have no idea. but there will be exemptions to this tax there already are in the uk. have to be a member of an exchange to daytrade or high frequency trade, speculate etc. always a way...

not exactly the legacy one would want, a very dubious honor, but if not the absolute worst where does he stand. obviously right now hes public enemy number one but 30 years down the road will we look back on him with the same opinions. lets say america recovers in a few years, prospers and...

there are traders right now trading the london stock exchange where they have a stamp tax of .5 % per transaction which is double the us proposed tax of .25 %. they trade at a prop desk here and are making a killing over there, obviously exempt from the stamp tax because they are members of the...

true but depressing

the article does make a case for bringing back the tax but if you read towards the end of the article common sense prevails by stating this tax would stop evolution and efficiency bascially taking backward steps. the cost of doing business in the us would become more expensive, off shore...

the transaction tax has ways around it, in london the stamp tax which is even more than the imposed tax rate here in the us would be is a non issue if you are a member of the london stock exchange, the same would be true here in the states, the nyse cme would be giving away exchange status to...

first of all you would be paying it up the ass for fills on stocks, volatility would be all over the place because of lack of liquidity. and by the way there was plenty of daytrading going on in the early 80s and especially early 90s, the avg joe just wasnt involved as much yet, the big boys...

if this law does pass watch how easy it will be to become a member of an exchange. nasdaq nyse arca these companies revolve around volume thats the name of the game. that is how traders are making a good living trading london, they get around the stamp tax because they are members of the lse...
