This is the problem, people buy, the stock shifts based on there purchase, then the sell for a penny more before the market correct. And when it correct down, they by,. Rinse repeater times a million.
Yes, yes, there are more detail, but that's it in a nutshell.
If onyl you understood the meaning of those numbers, as well as why tax percentage is dependent on wealth distribution.
A short example to illustrate a point: I'f 1 person had all the money, then that one person would need to pay 100% of federal taxes.
And , of course, you're tax view is very short sighted and not practical. Add in how much money is paid in taxes over all. not just income tax, all taxes. Suddenly the top 10% are paying less.
except people can get in on day trading, they can not get in on HFT without millions up front. Even then priority can be determined ina way that support certain traders. And by could be, I mean 'currently is'.
Put a tax on all trades in all markets at.005%, or one dollar, what ever is less.
The money the US does it, every other government will do the same thing. It's a reasonable and just way to limit this, and have people making trades pay the the damage the market can do, and has done, to the economy.
IT's damaging the enter market through manipulation and make decisions on information before it's public knowledge.
You, and many people here, seems to be only able to think in little boxes. A trade, 1 trader, 1 investor. Stop it. ANY time you make a trade in effects the market to some degree. When you are buy and selling on millisecond bases, it kills self correction.
HFT is insider trading. I.E> making trade decision based on information not publicly available. Granted it's insider trading for a millisecond, but still insider trading.
Do you really think the old schoolers aren't in on this? who do you thing hired the initial programmers to do this work?
Does all you understanding of the stock market come from TV shows?
"that by itself is no risk to the public" yes, it is. You need to applies it to ALL TRADES, all decision made about trading, and the fact that one penny is being manipulated by HFT with information that isn't really publicly available.
I take the cable I built myself, into my arduino based circuit, convert it to wifi, and send it to me neighbors PC as a virus. Then when he sends an email, it will launch the package to send it to my DMZ printer. Once a hacker tries to get into my system via that printer, it infects there system and gets into the 'viruses' they are launching. After which it gets sent to my spam filter as a Viagra add.
That exactly what the writer would have him say. Of course, they have no clue about geeks, nerds or smart people. At least the bringing in more character to show the nerds a 'real life' by using some of the stupidest joke on TC today. Oh, but they're 'nerds' so lets all laugh and pretend they aren't insulting us.
The right thing is often an assumption based on unknown data, or presumptions.
Many people would say letting a car pulling out of a parking lot in front was the right thing. But if you ask the ten cars behind you that also has to wait, they may disagree.
Maybe since they lost their calculator, they don't know where so the just contact the front office? If you aren't letting the front off know you have them, how can they get returned? That said, I'm assuming this person is following policy.
I need to apologies for the second have of that post. Much to my surprise the ti-85 still goes for 20 bucks used. Shocking, really. I get more accurate results with a better interface on my phone.
As a former needy person, I still think you are an ass for your assumption about needy people.
"each who can't afford one but still has a new Nintendo DS" yes, because the needed are rolling around in toys and don't value things. You are a fuck twad.
To further show people you aren't only an ignorant jackass, but that you are also stupid. why would you think you could get enough money from selling ancient to take some one out to dinner. Of course based on your post, out to dinner for you probably means handing a Big Mac to your date.

Who goes first in the queue? they actually can't all happen at once.
You're post is as short sighted as your sig.

how do you have a (k) that's not stock or profit sharing?

Stop it. ANY time you make a trade in effects the market to some degree. When you are buy and selling on millisecond bases, it kills self correction.
wrong.
You ,look at the trend of a company based on how dynamic the investor wants' his trade to be. i.e. long term,. short term, or immediate(HFT)
.005% would be the number I would shoot for.
Or one dollar, regardless of the size of the trade.

Yeah, that internet, and 30+ MPG, and your smartphone, and cleaner water, cleaner air, better health, lower crime, etc..
You're welcome.

I fucking hate that show.
the advantage is that it's easier to type by feel with real buttons.

In fact, if you have to ask that question, what are you doing here? Go to boing boing with all the other neo-geeks.
Y = -5(16-(X-5)^2) + 32
Y = -5(16-(X-15)^2) + 32
X = 5 , [10,12]
X = 15 , [10,12]
*cough*

incorrect.
You have a calculator. You wouldn't use 'Of'
I know you're trying to tell everyone how smart you are, but all I am saying is 'you failed'.
They just derive off into the sin set.
