    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    wow. fascinating article. it's hard not to see this as a cynical exercise; his "arguments" are so confused (cf., volatility), it's difficult to believe that the author does not know better. question: might we see more of this from hft-hedgies who've watched their edges vanish with hft...

    Hard work is absolutely necessary but cruelly insufficient. Luck has nothing to do with it.
