Cramer!: I'm sure every stockbroker in the world would hate this idea, but, if the government needs money so bad, why doesn't it tax stock market trades? I would think that a penny or two per trade wouldn't bankrupt anyone and could help pay for the deficit. What are your thoughts? --Joel
Cramer says: “I have historically, Joel, been against this. Why? Because I favor to have as little friction as possible between people who want to buy and sell stocks, because I do not believe in buy-and-hold. This would hurt the people who are actively managing their portfolios. Would it be right?

Jim: What effect does the average daily trading volume have on a stock's per share value? Many thanks for what you do for us home gamers! --Mike
Cramer says: “No, no real effect. I like to use it as a verification of the stock price. If there’s a lot of volume, it makes me feel that that’s the right price discovery. But no, average daily trading volume is something that I don’t [view] as being very important other than to be sure that I got the right price for a thinly traded stock.”
