"Company campaigning for currency transaction levy. The world's first foreign exchange broker to donate part of its turnover to charity launched today." How willing would his company donate a mandatory 0.005% of transactions if he ran a years worth of losing trades?
Not smart, I assume the are small not doing well and are trying to get in the news and drum up some business
This is exactly what I pictured myself doing when I decided to become a trader! From the article: "And in one recruiting Web video (no longer online), an Optiver trader sitting before four giant trading screens is seen ogling two skimpily clad women as they sit on his thighs."
I want to be on the other side of your trades while u are ogling. u will feed my family for months. maybe years. this transaction tax could put u out of business.
so when we are put out of work as traders, i was thinking what to do next and heck it might not be too bad. I can become a Community Organizer! (ha ha) sorry was too good to not pass up!
That was a fun idea years ago, but if you do that now, your own complacency will eat you up and spit you out. Yes, as the other gentleman implied... Please keep ogling women throughout the day so I can take your money.
I've seen your posts on previous P/L threads. Couldn't you just retire, sit in your rocking chair on a porch with some lemonade and watch it all happen?
i hear ya, just hard to think of NOT trading. but, been diversifing into land and development. much easier when you have a positive cash flow. so no lemonade, on the porch ability!
