If you guys want to talk about "EErs" can you please start a new thread? It's an obsession. When you see a nail every solution is a hammer. When you see problems in society all you see is one cause. To say otherwise is pandering to know nothing experts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EU migrants come over, claim tax credits, which is then given to BTL LLs. Id not say EU/EE migrants are the root of the problem - the problem is tax credits. But they are facilitating the BTLers.

Estimated cost of 2008 bank bailout: £500bn Annual tax take from the City: about £60bn. So yeah, finally paying their way again after a decade.  (Sorry about previous post - forum software playing silly b*ggers, and I can't delete it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today there are just two equity traders left. Automated trading programs have taken over the rest of the work, supported by 200 computer engineers. Marty Chavez, the company’s deputy chief financial officer and former chief information officer, explained all this to attendees at a symposium on computing’s impact on economic activity held by Harvard’s Institute for Applied Computational Science last month.'

Errol Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) Isn't roughly 90% of all trading on the NYSE done by computer now? There are very few actual humans involved. Edited February 19, 2017 by Errol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
