I have been thinking of LLC idea for quite awhile. Does anyone know if there's any particular hassle/expenses for a LLC whose only purpose is trading securities? Do we need do reports/forms regularly? Or do we need to hire an account/lawyer? Thanks for your input.

Does anyone know how to file tax return as an active trader in Canada? Any idea or link? Thanks

Just try to submit a basket of orders and re-logon to TWS and see if your orders still there! It's nice to know what's going on there before you really need do something when market moves quickly. I believe orders are still live, but you can't access them anymore, kind of scary .

That's what I'm looking for. But how can I get these ActiveX package? Where can I download it?

Anyone here has tried IB's new DDE support? I wonder if I can write VB program to place order programmatically through their DDE channel.

Can anyone give me some possible reasons that a stock can be traded under its per share cash? COSN, traded at 0.37 with $2.11 cash per share, almost no debt. Isn't it worth at least $2?
