this. i don't know, maybe offer a small business platform that charges like 20 a month for people to sell their clothes on their personal site. if i was in their advertising shyt, thats one way i would innovate. fukk it, the coli could do that here, and give them their own subsection to advertise their wares, charging the vendors a nominal fee.

yeah it's all ads and clicks and they're really trying to get more money out of the fb mobile apps.

Italy imposes tax on high-frequency trading

Published: 02 Sep 2013 17:04 GMT+02:00
Updated: 02 Sep 2013 17:04 GMT+02:00

Italy implemented a new tax on high-frequency trading on Monday, becoming the first country to impose a levy on an opaque and little-regulated market.


The 0.02-percent levy applies to derivatives deals lasting less than half a second and is the second part of new financial transaction taxes being imposed in Italy.

It applies to transactions involving Italian stocks or indices and is calculated based on the product's overall value.

A tax on all share transactions was installed in March.

"This is a complete novelty because no country had yet gone so far," business daily Il Sole 24 Ore said.

Investors have been concerned it could cut trading volumes and there have been delays with the new law because of confusion about how it would be applied.

Market operators on Monday noted that trading volumes had gone down, Il Sole 24 Ore said, adding however that it was "premature" to draw conclusions.

"The volumes on contract for difference (a type of equity derivative) with the FTSE MIB index have gone down 12 percent compared to the first few hours of trading last Monday," one operator said.

The report said the estimated yearly intake from the tax is €200-250 million - lower than previous estimates - and there could be additional costs from investor flight to avoid the tax.

Ten other European countries are preparing to introduce similar taxes on financial transactions, a prospect that has concerned experts worried about a possible wider impact on the economy.
