I think we should tax speculative gains to the point where it's not profitable to base your entire investment on just speculation.

If you buy something, do nothing with it, and then sell it for a profit, we should tax that profit at 90% ish.

I like that, I think your method is better than mine - it's simpler so it's harder to game. It punishes the right thing.
