google alerts have been quiet until this one tonight. France Transaction Tax And Derivatives - Business Insider http://www.businessinsider.com/france-transaction-tax-and-derivatives-2013-1 On another front, the French 75% tax rate attack on their rich was struck down by a high court and...

We need rock solid examples of how this so called "tiny tax" puts active traders out of business. My Forbes editor thought I was not credible when I wrote that and he rejected my FTT petition on my Forbes blog. Please get me the numbers I need to lay this out for people clearly. Thanks.

Nice whip counting. Come on Poland! Really surprised Netherlands would vote with the socialists against the free market and finance. Hopefully, the Netherlands is strong enough to vote no against Franco German forces.

The petition to block FTT has stalled. We need thousands of more traders to sign it and also spread the word on social media, in communities and with key players who can help influence others to join our cause. I softened the language so more traders should feel good emailing it to their...

Yes, you can do a carry back on your federal return and if your state decoupled to block the carry back and allow a carry forward instead, then do just that. California doesn't allow NOL carry backs, but they do allow carry forwards in a limited way. So do your best to get that carry...

Spitzer has a love hate relationship with Wall Street and financial services. He leveraged his NYS Attorney General attacks on WSJ to win as NYS governor. He clearly went too far and can't ever make up with financial power brokers. His only home is with the progressive left and now he's...

Frankfurt's Ambitions Get Cut Back - WSJ.com http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323401904578157111354232282.html My Comment:_Duh! Of course German banking will be significantly downsized. The German government is attacking banking with financial-transaction taxes and harmful...

To highlight the petition more, I set up a new (temporary) thread under Career Trader. Petition to Congress: (Tax) Hands-Off Our Trading Industry http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=254458 Please encourage others on Elite to sign and email the petition on that thread...

If you value trading, please sign and email our petition, and spread the word. New proposed FTT bills need to be stopped, including the French tax assault on America...

I think it's appropriate for you to sign the Petition. You are a valued customer of American brokers and exchanges. The petition also diplomatically asks U.S. Congressman and President Obama to help advocate for no FTT in Europe. Proponents of FTT argue it must be global, so we have every right...

Thanks Tom for your incredible help. So far, the petition is doing okay, but not great. We have 236 letters and we need 100,000. sheda said the Elite administrator should send a private message to all ET users to please sign and email the petition. Can someone try to make this happen? I...

Every user and service provider of U.S. financial exchanges needs to be aware of the harm that financial-transaction taxes (FTT) will cause. This tax will affect many groups, including retail, proprietary or hedge-fund traders; those who rely on pensions or charitable or university endowment...

Thanks Tortoise. My editor suggested I remove Tom Davis's good letter as it made my letter long. Tom, can you add your letter the the ftt Website. I link to the site in my letter. Everyone should send any of our letters, mine, Tortoises, or Tom Davis' letter. Revise them as you like. Just...

Here's my RallyCongress.com email to send to your Congressmen and President Obama. Please everyone email it ASAP and spread the word as much as possible. "New proposed FTT bills need to be stopped, including the French tax assault on American investors."...

See your good point, thanks. But, Ellison, DeFazio, Harkin and Price are bringing it up already and every lobbyist is protecting their turf in Washington this week. We should too, as few others fight against FTT.

Was just thinking the same, to buttress with proof of FTT disappointment and trouble in France. Plus, ETrade and TDA shutting down in the EU. Not sure either have enough evidence or causality. Keep the comments coming for my next round of changes, thanks.

Comment. I am writing this letter to Democrats. No sense appealing to Republicans, they are already on our side. I don't mention or insult progressives, it's obvious. Why not pin our tail on the winner Obama who is on our side here? Rep. Price also is appealing to the middle with his...

First draft of my letter and blog. To give to my editor now. Please make suggestions. My editor will edit it down to size. RallyCongress.com letter to Congressman. Re: Stop the financial-transaction tax threat from landing in the U.S. Dear Honorable Congressman: As Congress and the...

Thanks Tom. I'll send you a draft when ready and let's work together to make sure it's good. We then need everyone to promote it in message rooms, in the media, with brokers and elsewhere. Full court press! I'll write a Forbes blog with it, too. Let's focus on the facts, showing The French and...
