Eric, thanks for posting. I have signed the petition. We are now at 39,000 signatures. It would be great if we could get to 40k or 50k. Please keep us posted.
There is no date set for a vote on this. It's still in committee and will most likely stay there and never come up for a vote. This bill was proposed in the last session of congress (110th) and never made it out of committee then. I don't see it happening this time either. -Guru
defazio screwed himself bringing this bill out during the biggest bear in 75 years. if he waited till the mkt had recovered and was in a bull he would have had a better chance although i still say it won't pass
it was the end when lehman, bear stearns, Goldman Sachs, and citigroup and BAC started to treat the market like a casino..making bets shorting and using mathematical formulas and automated trading programs with no no humans trading with other machines. as for 401k accounts they wouldn't give shit if there was no volume. stocks are so thinly traded any market maker can move the price with less than a million dollars.
don't even bother trading afterhours cause the market is rigged afterhours with robots by market makers that can see your hand and won't give any profit.
Canadian markets are way too thin for prop traders and hong kong not enough volum for prop trading or automated trading programs
