Lets be honest, this is about getting free daycare and 2 free meals (breakfast and lunch) year round for his voting base.

FT, It is pretty naive to think this is how the Federal Government is spending money. I have no problem paying my share for roads, water, etc. However, I do agree with Maverick that this should be handled by the state government and outsourced to a private company. The fact is the morons...

So how do you contend that letting the government waste the money instead of letting the people who made it keep will make things better? Can you please give me specific examples of where the government has been an efficient delivery mechanism of anything. The politicians always want more...

Seems like the best way to make people start thinking about their choices in life, if you have someone bail you out your behavior wont change. Eventually everyone will just do fuckall and there will be no one left to take care of all you lazy worthless liberal fucks.

Why is it when I need to balance my personal budget I have to spend less, but when the government needs to balance its budget it just takes more money from the people and continues to spend. We are getting close to the time where the citizens need to remind the politicians and the president...

Candle, you simply do not understand physics or HFT for that matter.

The thing that people fail to realize is that most of the unemployed have no real skill and provide no real return on the work they are being paid to do. These people were paid 50K a year to take sheets of paper, stamp them and put them in another pile. With advances in software and...

Let me explain this to you dumb fuck.: Everyone knows where the quotes are disseminated from, your proximity to that dissemination point dictates how fast you see those quotes because they can only travel at the speed of light. If I am trading in Florida and you are trading in Chicago across...

Do you even understand anything you just said? How can one insider trade off you when you don't have any insider information? Do you mean front run? Like your piker ass is moving more than 200 shares.

Really? Nothing different??? Fractions vs Pennies? Spreads of 12.5 cents vs spreads of a penny? Market Makers sitting on the offer and giving out 100 shares via SOES every 17 seconds and ignoring all SelectNet orders...the ECNs trading thru the MMs by DOLLARS. You are right, its pretty...

Stock. You are a moron. 1) Colocation - What do you propose here? Everyone in the world is required to enter their orders from ONE LOCATION. Otherwise someone is going to be closer to the matching engine than someone else and FRONT RUN them with the using the speed of light to their...

No one "walked away because they knew something". When your incoming data latency is usually 1ms and now it is 20 seconds you question the integrity of the data and turn off your strategy. No one wants to trade when they don't know where prices are. All anyone knew was the data coming from...

This is one of the most uninformed, idiotic statments I have ever read. Flash orders no longer exist anywhere except Direct Edge and the buy side traders choose to use them with hopes of price improvement. HFT strategies can put the picture together and hit the button faster than a manual guy...

If we stop giving them money, who is going to drive retail sales and new all time highs for retailers?

I always tell them I want to short their idea. They say "why would you want to do that, I am telling you the stock is going higher" and I tell them I want to be on the same side of the trade as you. That usually ends the conversation.

BSAM and Range, You two idealist must be sitting in a Berkley dorm sharing a bong. Based on your opinions, you obviously haven't worked long enough and paid enough in taxes. Most Americans are lazy and stupid and not worth saving. The real way to solve our problems would be to impose a...

Why do you guys assume it is an algo moving the market. Its more likely a program from the Treasury or some large money manager. No HFT shop (Outside of maybe Goldman) is going to take the directional exposure on the notional it takes to move the market like that.
