    Just maybe....something that could be helpful. Pisani, Cramer and many other CNBC regulars now bad-mouthing buy/hold and suggesting trading as only way to go. Talk of outlawing trading should fire'em up. Especially the Fast Money crew. At least I hope so.

    It's been awhile since mine too, so I can't help you there, but you can watch the status here:

    http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-1068

    So far it has been introduced, and referred to committee. Next comes "reported by committee." You can check the current status of the bill by clicking the link above.

  4. Thanks for the link. From reading it sounds like most bills never make it out of committee for a vote on the floor so let's hope that theory holds true here :)

  5. Many "traders" need to go back to their "other." jobs.

    I would vote for this.

  8. And you're precisely the kind of economic ignoramus described in this link that should not be in such a position:
