    man is this cheap

    That is too cool. That would definitely simplify things for me as well as speed up my trading. One monitor doesn't cut it. Thanks

    man is this cheap

    So are you saying from one computer you have 3 monitors on at the same time with different things on each screen at the same time? Do you have 3 keyboards and 3 mice as well? Please explain for the computer illiterate. Thanks

    Do traders pay FICA?

    I was sure that I saw that somewhere on the internet but it was definitely wrong. From TN gov't website: IRS Publication 589, "Tax Information on S Corporations," can give you more information. Note: S Corporations must be incorporated under the laws of TENNESSEE. Therefore, they are subject...

    Do traders pay FICA?

    The audit feature is nice, especially nice I'm not very organized. I have the all the stuff to back up my tax returns but it is all spread throught the house, it would be a nightmare to piece it all together. The only thing that sux is that the state of TN doesn't recognize S corps. It is one...

    Do traders pay FICA?

    I don't see that taxes would be different at all under either of these options. If we make the assumption that you would not lose trader status when you take a vacation I see no benefit. I'm not sure but I seriously doubt that would cause you to lose trader status. Are there any other...

    Scott Peterson and Double Murder

    I am a Republican who is pro-choice. I don't think CONSENTING to have an abortion is murder. But people cannot go around forcibly aborting pregnancies. I would call it a single murder and a forcible abortion of pregnancy. Things are not always black and white. Either way this guy is screwed.

    IT'S ALL ABOUT THE OIL (isn't it?)

    We are stealing from Iraq just like we stole this land from the American Indians and I sleep just fine at night. I wasn't one of those naive types who actually believed it was about the Iraqi people. However I do think they will benefit long term as opposed to Saddam's rule. This kind of...

    IT'S ALL ABOUT THE OIL (isn't it?)

    Which is cool because I live in America. We need to focus on #1, ourselves. I'm sick and tired of seeing all the taxpayer dollars we give away to countries and in turn their people hate us, well screw them, cut them off. I think your poll speaks for itself. Oil and American bases in Iraq...

    Poll: Bull or Bust?

    We might have a short term lift, but it will be just that, short. Then it's bust, qqq to $17-$18 or lower longer term then sideways.

    Do traders pay FICA?

    As far as I can tell from the IRS site and this thread I will no longer be accrueing Social Security (I was laid off). That kinda sux. Anyway, this brought several questions to mind. From here on out it would appear as though I am defined as a "Trader" by the IRS although the requirements are...

    MONK traders

    Worked for corporate hell for 12 years, stashed away tons of cash but was miserable. Got laid off. Sold my house at a huge profit and moved where cost of living is cheap (back home, small town, TN). Paid cash for a modest 3 bedroom home. I own outright a Maxima which I will keep til the...

    Looking for reasonably priced scanner

    I'm looking for a scanner that comes with good default settings or easy to change settings (no programming). Realtick and Esignal are a bit pricey for me. Any advice? I use IB so I'm assuming that I will need a reasonably priced service to backfill data also. I have done fairly well in the...

    New IB Customer Agreement

    Can someone explain the jist of what this new agreement actually means? Like a short summation from someone who actually had time to read it or maybe someone who had a lawyer examine it? Same commissions? Same margin requirements? The basics, at work we would call it the bottom line. Some...
