Once again, posters with the lowest number of posts make the best contributions( or in this case carry the good news )... I hope you ( and he ) are right.

It has happened to me once. There was technical problems on IPE markets and I bought some gasoline against NYMEX gasoline. After a while( 1 day in fact ), the fill is busted and I hold a big losing position on NYMEX. I asked IB and they said they executed my IPE position in the wrong...

Like there was a G8 with the USA when UK decided to create the "stamp tax" and France "l'impot de bourse"... If it passes, it's not because the US decide to be dumb and create a tax that everybody has to do so. The winner will simply be the country smart enough to make evil speculators come.

RedDuke, there's no reference to american citizens trading on foreign markets on this current proposition bill.

...

They are not referring to transactions made by american citizens on foreign exchanges, so I guess so... It's an "improvement" from a precedent piece of paper I read from DeFazio(don't remember which one).

In France, we already repealed it 2 years ago. We had it for 5 years or something. Those taxes never lasts. Even in a domestic investor market with much less sophisticated speculators, liquidity... It wasn't good.

That's for sure what a "corporate security superviser" does , but not sure about "corporate security officer"...

For major exchanges, UK stock market has a prohibitive transaction tax. France used to have one but Sarko removed it.Other than that, Eurex has really low exchange fees. If this tax passes, other exchanges will do anything to attract volume.Perhaps, talks about volume plunge at Eurex and...

Geez, CME has an online store, I just ordered 3 shirts on cafe press... Great site by the way. Forget about John Carter's shirt, as soon as he wears it, it has no value.

Does no losing week since September 2007 counts?:D

5 years of passive investing and 2 years of active research and trading on futures.

+ 1, but it depends on what you call "nice" living. Lately I only average 400/500 $ per day.

I'm afraid nobody talks about physical activity on a "staying healthy" thread. Running 1 hour a day like I have been doing for 1 year has tremendously improved my health, a lot more than any diet change. Problem is you have to run...LOL
