ajtj99's Market Pulse

Thanks, plexxus. I signed that earlier today.

That bill is a non-starter, but it would bury those of us who make a living trading. It's currently in the House Ways and Means Committee, where it is unlikely to emerge.

I wonder if the congressman got the idea from China. China enacted a 0.25% transaction tax in 2007 to cool off their market bubble, but it did little good. Prices almost doubled after they enacted the tax. I'm not sure if they still have it now after the bubble burst.

I hope things are going well for you, plexxus. I should to check out your stockcharts page, as I haven't looked at it for some time.
