Now the Exchange Portal boersennews.de by its users wanted to know whether and which measures to curb speculations are useful. Surprising: Most pronounced for regulatory measures. Total 1410 respondents by boersennews.de should express themselves how they think the Federal Government about the actions of the Federal Government such as the transaction tax or the short bans. It turned out that the financial crisis has caused probably deeper cracks in investor than you might think: the majority wants to prevent an excessive risk of loss through excessive speculation and accepts this apparently also state resources and measures.
