Good news for bulls
"(T)he anti-Wall Street sentiment is such that progressives are pressing for a new fee on securities transactions to help pay for 'Main Street' job creation. Rep. Peter DeFazio (D., Ore.) told Politico that he expects to file the proposal this week after making refinements to shield public employee pension funds and small investors, defined as persons trading less than $100,000 a year.
"That takes care of all the hot-button issues, and that just leaves the huge firms and the huge traders," DeFazio said. Companies that move their transactions into exchanges overseas would still be vulnerable: "We're going to make it so that any U.S. entity which trades is responsible for the tax. So if you say you're just going to trade in Hong Kong to avoid the tax, no, you owe the money." |
