  2. There is no point to complain. Let's think of alternatives. As of now I can think of focusing on options trading and possibly CFD's

  3. Maybe if Cramer knew about this potential threat he could use that loud mouth for something useful. :p

    Seriously, I think the proposed tax would do him some serious harm so he could pound the drum against it and give us a voice in the mainstream media.

  5. it is a program to import massive forein workers into the tech occupations

    mr 'two americas' john edwards, co sponsored a bill in oct 2000, to bring 195,000 foreign workers into the tech occupation right as the tech bubble burst

    in 2001 9 out of 10 workers hired in tech in the USA were foreign in a period when the industry actually shed jobs

    it was a complete nightmare, a 'kafka' like transformation where society turned on a group of people (tech workers), without provacation. it;s as though society decided arbitrarely, that a group of people deserved to lose everything they had worked for, without cause

    for example. wes clark in the 2004 debates"

    "Let them do the software in India; we'll do other things in this country. "

    so if you worked in software, we;re tossing you out of your livelyhood

    we cant tell you why, and we cant clarify what 'other things' means

  9. Ya well a higher commission is better than a % tax..

    Secondly, I think the options market will really start getting serious attention and volume

  10. If there is a five year window.....
    then by then companies such as BATS will be offering other exchanges in other domiciles....

    Other exchanges will be broadening their offerings...especially China.....

    Hopefully there will be a Universal Securities Highway....

    Like an IB on steroids in the domicile of your choice....

    The securities trading business is going to grow...

    Direct access internet trading is still a baby....

    What one will see in five years will dwarf what is present today....

    And yeah....what is not going to change is that there are going to be humans still pressing buttons....

    But there is going to be a lot more of them...

    The current day socialist think ....can go fuck off.....let the fucking idiotic politicians look at themselves on TV, media....etc...

    Man, the two party system has got to go....

    My bet is that companies like Genesis are going to grow exponentially with different trading venues and domiciles....

    Hey...speedboats will still run around big ships....this is not going to change......
