    turbo tax and 1099-b

    Does any one know where to report IB's 1099-b "realized future gain/loss" in turbo tax? Does IB include commissions as part of the "realized future gain/loss" or do I need to report that separately? Thanks in advance for your help.

    cramer calling for a melt up.

    cramer gets A++ in my book for his market timing for this year. No one has done it better than him this year. Now that he got his 10K in dow, he's turning somewhat bearish, or atleast bearish for today.
