Not that I have any interest in individual stocks, the uptick rule did nothing to prevent the October 1987 crash of 23 percent in one day.

Just one of the many excuses, propaganda, the Nazis used was to say that that all Jews were capitalists. It would only make sense that only some were capitalist, not all. Hate can make some believe that others are all this or all that. I saw something on PBS about a year ago about Hitler...

I've been wondering about the cause and effect of the tax resulting in increased leverage. In the 1920's there was a transaction tax of 0.2 percent and most of the public was leveraged 10:1, hence the huge bubble and huge crash. People will always find a way around obstacles even if they have...

Most of the proposals mention a trans tax on anything that trades. Some suggest various rates. That is usually how it is done in the last remaining dozen countries that still have this outdated, ineffective tax. It would be in any politician's best interest to realize that there will be 125...

That's where the money was. The German version of National Socialism was a system of plunder, punitive taxes, capitalist destruction and a generous welfare state where wealth was redistributed to only Aryans as war profiteers. Socialism always leads to genocide eventually. Part of the...

It takes forever to register, but at least we are allowed to have our say, rather surprising.

The problem is that more than half the population would believe that 500 million would lose their jobs if that trillion dollars worth of pig feed is not bought.

Typical of 0bama's lovers. When all fails, call names. If you want free health care, move to Japan.

Capitalism Magazine Stop the Assault on our Public Markets by Amit Ghate (February 3, 2009) In a widely-circulated NY Times column (Jan 13, 2009), Bob Herbert proposes a 0.25% transaction tax on every stock trade. If this idea, which has been garnering support among politicians, passes...

All we will have to do is dodge the bullets as we try to flee the US.

Members of the single digit, approval rated US Congress need to be reminded that there are some 125 million voters within the Investor Class. http://www.aei.org/publications/pubID.10281/pub_detail.asp You would think that these trans tax proponents would want to distance themselves...

Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years Peter Norvig http://norvig.com/21-days.html Mostly deals with programming, but talks about 10 years or 10,000 hours to attain expertise in many areas and 8,000 hours to be merely good, and 4,000 hours to become a teacher in the same field...

There won't be a one day 25% crash. Studies show that individual stock prices are reduced and held down from what they would be without the tax. A decade+ of no market gains plus an extra tax added to no or negative gains. To be taxed on losses is totally nuts. How about paying income taxes...

By 1913, 36 States had ratified the 16th Amendment to the Constitution. In October, Congress passed a new income tax law with rates beginning at 1 percent and rising to 7 percent for taxpayers with income in excess of $500,000. Less than 1 percent of the population paid income tax at the time...

Obama can instill civic responsibility He could not even make them clean up the mess they made in the streets after the inauguration.
