Cool, I agree with you completely about the merits of a tax - and find it laughable that the progressives choose to fix everything with a new tax. My only real disagreement with your premise is in regards to HFT's somehow providing some sort of indispensable value to the markets - the liquidity...

By whom, other than the "Daily KOS" and "Nation"? Depends entirely upon what little sewing circle you are speaking of.

From the New York Times August 22, 2011 How Democrats Hurt Jobs By JOE NOCERA The airplane’s aft section arrived early Monday morning. That’s what they’d been waiting for at the final assembly plant in North Charleston, S.C. They already had the wings, the nose, the tail —...

It took you 29 days to come up with that ?

I'm sure that smokin' Joe will be able to just regurgitate the DNC talking points and blame it all on the Republicans - specifically, the Tea Party. The Chinese will understand.

Anything you risk in the market, any capital you use to start an account - consider it gone. I cannot think of a worse time for someone to start trading as a virgin newbie. Thirteen years ago, any douche with a pulse could make money day trading stocks. The world has changed mightlily...

Well then, don't be such a prick and dismiss what others are saying out of hand. Seriously. Where you sitting in front of the live ES order book during that market crash ? Have you seen a live ES order book during the last four weeks ? It is a fucking shit show. The simple fact of the...

I am not on the list for a very good reason: I have over sixty ET members who are clients, several funds and CTAs who are clients, and NOT ONE has posted anything negative about my work and value as an educator. Not on ET, and not on any other forum or blog that I am aware of or can find...

The reports from the SEC and the CME all mention how liquidity from HFT programs dried up under stress and then amplified the price swings when it did finally show up. All in all, gwhat happened is best described in terms of two liquidity crises]]one at the broad index level in the...

Ummm... you started the fucking thread with your unfounded proclamation as the title. So prove it.

And you cannot structure a sound arguement for shit. We are all still waiting for you to produce an example where the rich are by design and intent stealing from the poor.

I have been trading professionally since the early 90's - that means I do it for a living. Look at the order book bid / ask spreads - during the flash crash, and even the past four weeks in the ES live markets. In fact, look at the third party peer review task force findings regarding...

"What has happened morally in the West is what has happened financially as well. Good and otherwise sensible people were persuaded that you could spend more than you earn, incur debt at unprecedented levels and consume the world's resources without thinking about who will pay the bill and when...

That is true - HFT will not affect longer term market trends. The more important point, however, that you seem to ignore and gloss over, is that HFT does NOT improve bid/ask liquidity during times of market stress. The other point you ignore is that numerous post-mortem reports on the 'flash...

Why don't you take the time to cool your jets in the live markets and concentrate on formulating a comprehensive trading business plan. Get yourself much better organized in terms of trade entry, profit targets, stop-loss targets, capital allocation and risk allocation on a per trade basis...

"... the race has become something far more unsettling to Democrats: a referendum on the president and his party that is highlighting the surprisingly raw emotions of the electorate. National Democrats, alarmed by a poll that showed the contest far closer than anticipated, are privately...
