Quote from makloda:
I endorse looking after my own good and not worrying too much what politicians and governments say or do. If I dont like it someplace then I simply move to another country. Trading makes one pretty much independent of jurisdictions.
A lot of American crybabies on ET could simply give back their US passport and leave the country. Why are they not if things are so terrible? My bet is things arent as bad (yet), just people love to complain about the hardships of life instead of taking their life and destiny into their own hands.
Much easier to stay where you are and blame Bernanke, Obama and Geithner rather than packing up your stuff and setup shop in Singapore/Monte Carlo/Switzerland/Caribbean/Cost Rica.

Absolutely correct....one should make the world "one's oyster"....not THEIRS....by giving THEM the "one finger salute"....
But it is also correct to want to see the US correct itself such that the markets have even more to offer traders....not taking itself down ....along with others....
A trader wants to see markets offer more , not less....
One already knows the BRIC exchanges are going to increase their offerings .....why not in the overall best mode possible ?

Markets at 8pm....9pm...10pm....4am....930am est....etc...
Would like to see better numbers and costs and accessibility(more events, more US equal) in the non 930am....

The Truth....most all govts. are FUBAR....some are even "comical"....
Take your pick.....

The Truth....Makloda is correct....one has to become very very independent....and be more universal in one's approach to the world.....
