So what are you saying? You don't think Barney Frank is super sexy? [blech!!]

i'm saying the this mission is an appeal to incredibly vendictive people, and if they didnt have the whip hand, we wouldnt even be talking about it

sorry if i lost my sense of humor - i'm looking at having my 2nd occupation legislated out of existence in the middle of a great depression

when these 'representatives' talk about "the terrorists", I swear it's like OJ talking about 'The Real Killers"

I got that same sick feeling in my stomach every time Phil Gramm opened his mouth. The biggest scumbag that this Country has seen in quite some time.

One issue that hasnt been touched on (or maybe i didnt see it in this looooong thread), is that the dow just closed last month under the 200 month avg, adn today closed below the 2003 lows.

There's never been a worse time to tamper with the complexion of the market in such a volume reducing fashion - only the 'head' of the upside down head/shoulders remains below today's close.

below that level, there's practically nothing for support until 5800, then 4000 (96 and 94 highs)

even the discussion of such a proposal weakens what little support there is below

this is literally the worst time ever to bring this up

if it drops to the bottom, then they repeal or drop discussion of it, the technical damage will already be done

Not sure if anyone posted this yet. Here's a petition against this transaction tax. Several thousand people already signed it. Lets get a few thousand more.

Use the option on the bottom left to email it to the Congress. It's free, takes 30 seconds.

Sorry man, but your spelling of intelligent cannot be passed-off as a simple typo like the way you misspelled the word control.
