The people that should be contacted in addition to congressmen and senators would be the big retail brokerage houses like Etrade, Interactive Brokers, Ameritrade etc etc, they I'm sure have far more pull than anyone on this board and this tax absolutely ends their business (and ours)

Mr. Lynch should absolutely be contacted. Anyone done it yet?

Completely agree .. emails are too easily ignored.. take the time to save your job and career and make a few simple phone calls, it's much more powerful

I think that if this ever passes "retail" and 401k's etc will be exempt. I've actively traded my RRSP for years as well as my TFSA (Whattttt are those, eh? I'm Canadian) and while there are a ton of restrictions which limit what you can trade by quite a bit, I've managed to make significant...

Why not both? We have to do everything we possibly can to be heard, we don't have to limit ourselves.

I'm about to head out but will be back in a few hours to spend some time writing emails and finding every rep that should be contacted about this. We must be emailing them even if they might not read it, there is already an email on this thread from Schumer responding to someones email on the...

I will be doing the same thing today rsikit as should every profitable trader on this board that wants to still have a career or at least as profitable a career in the future. Good on you rsikit.

I'm really getting sick of this festering. It's stressful having to think about something you cannot control.

I think BoC may have to wait for a few US hikes before hiking themselves if the CAD$ continues to rocket towards par again. Housing in Canada will probably be slightly higher/flat in 5-10 years.. might spike then head lower/sideways but overall pretty stable.

Yup... it's a paradigm shift, the world as we know it will be completely different, wall street will no longer exist.. blaaaah blaaaaah blaaaah blahhhhh What garbage

Another great find, Guru

He really does look like a psychopath

Retard DeFazio on CNBC in a bit

I thought the Indian STT was being abolished or at least I recall there being plans for that..?

Good to know there are still sane ppl in power... some

Just heard over the wires that Trichet said he's "Against the Tobin Tax" Can anyone confirm this?

Nice find, Guru. Let's all help out this stoptobin.com site and make it as powerful as possible. As unlikely as this is to pass, we might as well just continue trying to kill it every time it pops up, just pretend you're 10 years old again at the arcade playing whack-a-mole... whack-a-tax

This tax would be disgraceful, and almost certainly won't pass, but it's somewhat nice to know that if it does pass it will be .005% which would add a ton of fees per year but wouldn't end trading.

So far there has been no comments from anyone other than socialist Euro's..

RT, don't worry, it's very unlikely this will pass and there would be ways around it so you shouldn't be getting the pink slip any time soon!
