那不是交易次数就要减少了吗？交易的人数和资金也会减少。别的国家的资金有可能因此撤出美国股票市场啊。以前很多资金就是因为美股交易方便便宜才来的。如果每次交易都收税，而且流动性下降，那不是美股跟别的国家的股票市场相比，优势就丧失了吗？

It's good if everyone does that.

But someone has to do it first.

do not understand.

for example, if I DT a goog, I bot 200 share GOOG at 500 and sold it at 500 with break even.

Then I have to pay $100K * 0.25% * 2(one buy and one sell) = $500.

If this true, AMTD and ETFC will go BK, or they have to significantly increase the txn fee.

Thanks ppteam! I totally agree with you. I just signed both.

If you are long term trader, in my mind you don't have to visit stock BBS at all.

You only need to check daily chart, or even weekly chart. If you are FA trader, you don't need to check chart at all. Certainly you don't need to visit 白天灌水 post. Why bother with 5mins chart if you are not short term trader? Just for fun?

我觉得应该单独立法给那些高频交易的收税，一般的交易和DT的，应该不要加税才对啊。

Of course we are not on the same page.

This law will take away your dough, but would affect me very little.

anyone can answer my questioｎ？

for example, if I DT a goog, I bot 200 share GOOG at 500 and sold it at 500 with break even.
Then I have to pay $100K * 0.25% * 2(one buy and one sell) = $500

If so , My total vol of yearly trade is ｗａｙ　ｍｏｒｅ　ｔｈａｎ　>100M, I　ｎｅｅｄ　ｐａｙ　ｄａｍｎ　＞１００Ｍ　＊0.25% = 250Kｔａｘ？

应该只对机构加税。
