Trader tax proposal will be the death knell for statistical arbitrage ~ forex trading system- laurentiu damir
U.S. Congressman Peter DeFazio, introduced H.R. 1068: “Let Wall Street Pay for Wall Streets Bailout Act of 2009”, which aims to impose a 0.25% transaction tax on the “sale and purchase of financial instruments such as stock, options, and futures.
Ladies and gentlemen, 0.25% is 50 basis points round-trip. Few if any statistical arbitrage strategies can survive this transaction tax.
And no, this is not "Wall Street paying for Wall Streets Bailout". This is small-time independent trader-entrepreneur like ourselves paying for Wall Streets Bailout.
Furthermore, this tax will drain the US market of liquidity, and ultimately will cost every investor, long or short term, a far greater transaction cost than 0.25%.
If you want to stop this insanity, please sign this online petition.
