Post by: monsterer on May 16, 2013, 12:08:19 PM In the U.S. money is considered free speech: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckley_v._Valeo I'm curious how that works - in the US, hedging trades is illegal; there is a FIFO rule which means you have to close trades in the order you opened them. Since that's a direct restriction on how you place your trades and therefore make money, does that not conflict with money being 'free speech'? |
