This doesn't bother me. The good news is that this is happening much sooner than I thought it would. The government was never meant to be a permanent shareholder in our companies.

hahahaha... Are you drinking kool-aid?

There is a place for regulating people to be honest and keeping the markets transparent to all participants.

So, you want lower taxes? You "regulate" the "insane taxes" by voting for politicians who will lower your taxes. You "regulate" by exercising your right to vote.

Supply and Demand is a well-understood economic principle. When demand goes up, supply goes up or the price of supply goes up. When demand goes down, supply goes down or the price of supply goes down. When prices go up, people use less supply. When prices go down, people use more supply...

Mr and Mrs Burnie have been contributing to charity for the last 40 years, supporting various cancer charities, inviting war veterans to their home for meals and opening their door to the less fortunate on Christmas Day. Why do people criticize the rich when they want to be rich, too?

For starters, you can read their articles to get some ideas, http://www.greencompany.com/

That's not his point. His point is that existing trade handling mechanisms need to be improved to strengthen automation capabilities for the retail trader.

I agree with you that there needs to be more competition for "trade handling" protocols. There has to be something better than FIX. But here's the killer... All back-end clearing houses are pretty much standardized on FIX so we probably will never see a better alternative to FIX protocol...

And you would agree that you get what you pay for. Ironically, almost everybody is using FIX. Even Lime Brokerage which caters to high-frequency automated trading is using FIX so clients are faced with the same problems you're faced with. Perhaps what you need to consider is co-locating...

Maybe you need to look at higher-end brokers that cater to high-frequency trading. Such as Lime Brokerage, http://www.limebrokerage.com/index.php?title=Professional_Traders

Take a look at Mark Fisher's book, "The Logical Trader".

Agreed. They are overpriced. They've done the research on specs so I use them as a reference when putting my own computer. I second the other guy's suggestion to use the Dell Outlet. Excellent way to get the most value for your dollar.

Take a look at these websites for ideas. Look at the specifications they offer on their computers and use those to help you decide what to buy from Dell (or from these companies). http://www.xview.com http://www.tradingcomputers.com

The best thing to do is get NinjaTrader and code with NinjaTrader's API. NinjaTrader's first data feed was Zen-Fire so it's pretty snappy.

In that case, the Austrian school of economics advocates entrepreneurship as the driving force in economic development. They see private property as essential to the efficient use of resources, and usually (if not always) see government interference in market processes as counterproductive.

Ok, to increase labor, we need to increase demand. What will increase the demand? Impose higher taxes (and less money in my pocket to spend)? Impose lower taxes (and more money in my pocket to spend)?

I'm curious. Tell us more about Austrian economics. The Australian income tax is a progressive tax. The current tax-free threshold is $6,000, and the highest marginal rate for individuals is 45%. The corporate tax rate is a flat 30%. Capital gains are taxes at the individual's income...

I would have a single tax bracket of 10% for all taxpayers. Then adjust the government spending to fit the expecting incoming tax revenues from the single tax bracket of 10%.

Exactly. Reduce taxes AND reduce government spending. Agreed. Quite ridiculous.
