    I just sent in a trade to Wells Fargo to short a stock...and was told there was a 50% charge to the total value of the trade. That is to say, if the stocks traded have a value of $1000...then there is a $500 fee.



    Pursuing it.

    Except on Sunday. Then you get the 404 error.

    For $1.50 I can go to a website that has passed my company's security clearance and have that delivery company bring me food from a rotating list of restaurants. Easy peasy, Taiwanesee.

    I'm interested what this means and what he proposes.
    I wouldn't be surprised if one reference is rules about how banks are prohibited from crossing state lines. It's also one of the big talking points about the replacement of the PPACA.

    This is such a weird situation because Trump, who can only hold at most one idea in his head at once, thinks he is anti-Bank. But simultaneously he picks a finance team that is the distilled essence of Predatory Banking.

    To avoid a financial psychotic break, I think they're just going to have to lie. They're going to announce the "Break Up Too Big To Fail" Plan which specifies that Goldman must now own in full any financial institution that does any business in the US.
    Da Banks: Donald, you're not going to be president forever. When you return to private life, where are you going to get credit for your next project? F with us and you can forget about building anything but Legos.

Who will be the owners of the new companies if you split apart the banks? Well, it would be the people who own stock in the current banks that get split. It's the same net effect in ownership, only now you're paying the salaries of multiple boards, executive teams, etc. He would make some sort of economies of scale argument against the split.

    I'd be curious too but invariable what happens is there ends up being no enforcement dollars in the budget and the loopholes are exploited and no one goes to jail.
