Put a small tax on all stock transactions.

Created by M.S. on October 27, 2011

A small tax on all stock transactions would stabilize the market as much of the computerized trading would become obsolete because the tax would be more than the profit. Also the people who could afford to pay the tax would be paying the tax. (There was a stock transaction tax here in the US until 1966)
