Tax on Trades Should Be Part of Rescue Plan, Some Democrats Say

Discussion in 'Trading' started by seasideheights, Sep 25, 2008.

  1. This would not only finish trading equities and bonds....

    This would finish equities and bonds being in the US....
    ...................................................

    I have mentioned many times that legal largesse is one of the main problems in the US....

    This type of legal largesse would domicile the exchanges in Hong Kong, Dubai, and elsewhere....

    .................................................

    Quite frankly, if it were cheaper for me to list on other exchanges , why would I not ?

    The US is going to refuse my companies creating jobs on US soil?

    ................................................

    Quite frankly, it is possible that the exchanges would be better for traders and everybody else.....

    If they were domiciled somewhere else....

    Especially when somewhere else means more efficiency ....
    ....................................................

    Look computer banks could be anywhere....

    What trader cares where the computers are ?

    And what trader would want to trade in the US, if they can trade elsewhere without the Patriot Act and the long list of bullshit that just hampers good efficient trading ?

    ...............................................

    What would make sense is to have a worldwide 24/7 internet exchange line where one can trade all stocks, bonds, currencies worldwide.....

    Housed away from legal largesse US bullshit....
    .....................................

    Think not ...?

    Look at what BATS has done in such a short period of time.......

    Now think about a consortium of BATS in efficient and willing jurisdictions.....

    Would one not just love a single efficient highway for all of it....????

    Any stock, any bond, any currency, or conversion thereof.....

    Done with the BATS model, with the least middlemen/legal largesse possible.....

    Computer banks do not care where they are....nor do traders.....

    F the idiots and let them swim in their idiocy......

    The 24/7 should be a Globalized....never interfered with ....capitalistic entity.....

    Go Hong Kong !!!!!!

    This is totally insane.

    For the first time, I am really starting to
    worry about the future of the US.

    Nancy Pelosi and friends will destroy
    the US and the $.

  5. i dont think anyone's ever claimed that the Merc was responsible for any of this, or that they would get any of the bailout

    but this provision would take them out completely

    hopefully, they will jump right on this

  8. Worse case, almost impossible scenario: it happens. Unlikely, but more ridiculous legislation has been passed in this country. If that happens...

    1. Trade the DAX, the Nikkei, the Hang Seng, or any number of other non-US futures products;
    2. Trade American futures in an IRA.

    If 1 or 2 do not work/are not feasible, find a new career as a politician!
