thats exactly why there is no real traction with this tax. the smart money knows this is counter productive and do more harm than good but reps like defazio and other burecrats need to put these ideas out there to see if anything makes sense. good rule of thumb watch the stocks like you...

so true never cut off the hand that feeds you, this goes for both republicans and democrats. this is not a cigarette tax were talking about here

yeah he has introduced new bills with this tax attached numerous times, it just sits in committee and doesnt get any attention. no different this time. just keep being proactive and hope the powers to be are on our side. defazio is lint, a flee, and of no importance hopefully his term is running...

defazio momo basically said nobody on board well no shit moron, however he tries to spin it we have to create and innovate not tax

i see it differently i know gwb gets a bad rap and lets face it not the sharpest tool in the shed. but the democrats have been in control of this country since 06 not hard to do the math on that one. the dems get in control and growth stops. after reagan left office in the 80s he laid it out...

2010 cant get here soon enough, like i said you have the filibuster through this year if it even made it into the senate. and 2010 the gop wins hands down. i am originally from nj and that state has always had a democratic bias because of all the unions and such but the people have spoken and...

zero chance on trans tax in 09 because of filibuster and 2010 republicans take back the house, trans tax is dead in the water and has been ever since it has been brought up over the last 20 years. now dark pools, hft, new short rules those are the issues over the next few years. these rules will...

remember this mike the wall street gurus who this tax is pointing at are gonna be exempt. try selling that to mom and pop guaranteed the only way this gets passed is with no exemptions and obviously we all know that isnt gonna happen. every country that has this tax has an exemption of some sort...

just remember money won is twice as sweet as money earned. pure satisfaction for the ego, to me thats plenty of economic value. the socialist just dont want us to think that way. they want us to be puppets who do the 9-5 and live paycheck to paycheck. thats the problem with america today nobody...

bottom line is we all know the professionals will be exempt no doubt about that whether you trade prop or for a bank member of an exchange etc but im worried about myself as well trading in my retirement account. my goal is to avg about 6 to 9 % returns for 30 or so years with this tax im...

unless the govt can guarantee a return of 10% per year for every american that invests for the long term, that would be the only way you can really push this tax. but guess what thats not gonna happen so if an american has to invest on a 15 year plan or 15 min plan to get those results then...

no way gs gets the only exemption it would have to be worded exchange status members etc and all the other firms would follow suit get exchange status through nyse nasdaq amex cboe etc. just like they do know over in the uk. mark my words the only group paying this tax would be retail not...

stocks that trade that low in volume you never ever show your hand like that. if you got some size work your order a few hundred shares at a time. a stock that trades 100k avg volume and theres a big bid there and you come in with a huge offer right next to the bid the bid is gonna back down...

dual listing will be common as brokerage houses will be setting up llcs outside the country and finding any loophole you can find will be found. look what they did with online betting and how you couldnt make a deposit from a us bank to an overseas betting house. they just came up with an llc...

good post spot on. and what society and government dont understand is that we dont produce as a nation anymore we maintain. productivity will never be like it once was. we are a developed nation who grows in small increments now. but for th e people who have built wealth or are trying to...

follow goldman sachs stock closely because if this bill passes their profits go way down and stock will follow suit. now if this passes with exemptions to the big boys then we have a massive problem. my opinion is that the only way this get passed is if nobody gets exemptions.

those players will not be posting those bids and offers anymore. so when you go to buy a stock that normally trades with a 10 to 15 cent spread you are now gonna be looking at 1 to 1.50 and god forbid you want to buy an illiquid stock that normally has a 2 pt spread get ready for the lube last...

no way in hell this gets passed if the big boys get an exemption. now if there are no exemptions for anybody the market could tumble back down to new lows with spikes in volatility because of a lack of liquidity. catch 22 for the government they cant win. and as a retail trader if i am paying...
