    Question: Wife Working for Financial Company

    Umm, interesting. Thanks for all of the responses, it makes more sense now. It looks like I'll have her ask if Forex is OK, if not, I'll just have to divorce her and hang out more with the girlfriend, hehe

    Question: Wife Working for Financial Company

    Good answer, thanks. But what if I were 'trading manager' for XYZ Corporation or a private hedge fund. Then would we have to disclose?
