    Find a suitable Sterling Pro broker

    I took a quick look at their website and did a FINRA Broker Check. They do not appear to be a Licensed with FINRA or the SEC. Did you have to put up first loss money? How can they offer "tiered pricing" if they are not a BD?

    My new CPA tells me that owning a seat means I should be paying ordinary income rates

    When I was an option market maker and had my own BD, all my income was 60/40 however I was not except from self employment tax. I do not think owning or leasing a membership on the CME has the same requirement but green trader tax would be a good resource.

    We need some re-naming of things

    I had to learn hand signals on the AMEX. They differ on every floor. So does the language used to announce your orders or market in that Pit or Crowd.

    We need some re-naming of things

    IMO they start on trading floors like the CBOE, NYSE and CME. Then Business media programs like the ones on CNBC have guests from those floors or trade desks that use those terms.

    Article is spot on....work from home needs to be banned..

    I work from home. My commute round trip before was over 2 1/2 hours. Working from home gives me more time than that to do my job. My Employer and my customers get more out of me this way. I’m never going back full time.

    ITM put Exercise Question

    If your broker can’t borrow the shares, you will at some point have a REG SHO buy in. Also, many hard to borrow shares are expensive to carry over night.
