What I am saying is if you make under 150K, as long as you pay 100% of last years tax as ES you will pay no penlites. As an example Lets say last year you made 100K and paid 15K in taxes. This year you make 200K and your tax bill is 30K as long as you paid in 15K in taxes by April 15 2003...

Dustin, they should have retained any records for at least 7 years. But then again that is the same as saying that all drivers are carrying auto insurance. My first step would be to contact the agent performing the audit to explain your situation. I would also suggest consulting a tax...

As long as you pay 100% of your 2001 tax liability if you earned under 150K in 2001 there will be no penalty no matter how much you make this year. If you made over 150K then you must pay 112% of your 2001 taxes in estimated payments to avoid any penlites. Or if you can estimate your income...

The reason I see September lows as critical is that I can't remember a time when the world both politically and financially felt more bleak. Yet somehow we pulled off a fantastic rally. I lost some money shorting as downtrend lines got smashed. And lost even more by selling way too soon like...

I went to quotesmith and plugged in 2 40 year olds and 1 kid just guessing at your ages. With a 2500 deductible and 80/20 coinsurance up to 5000k the lowest premium was 973 per month. Now this was the AC zip code as this was the only zip I have in Jersey, and never you mind why :cool: The...

TraderBob, Without knowing what your situation is, like having a child that requires a lot of medical attention etc I will make a general recommendation. If your family is fairly healthy the new Medical Savings Accounts for self employed people let you take a policy with 1200 - 2500...

Optionplayer, Funny I saw your post after I finished looking at the Charts of the companies comprising QQQ and came to the same conclusion. I am playing it the same way I did in Sept which is to sell puts Jan 03 and 04 and just wait. If we get a rally, which I expect I will close them out...

Publication 587 should give you all you need to make the determination of home office expenses. The easiest way to take rent/mortgage interest is to use the % of Square Feet that your office takes up. (The caveat is that the office must be used for business only) There are some good...

Topgun, I'm with you. Did just a little here, if it works great, if not I will just push it into mom's account, should 've bought me the GI Joe with the Kung-Fu Grip if she wanted good asset management. I read your first post, and it does seem that when you are at the top of the chart...

IE 6 fixed the problem for me as well. For those of you that are running Symantec Firewall, what worked for me was to download IE 6 from the Microsoft Website and then directly download the Service Pack update before I rebooted. When I booted back up I was able to hit the web with both fingers...

Missed the end of the post, probably because it was not in RED:D , which I can't do either. Traveling or Trading, it's good to know he didn't blow up. Maybe these follow-up stories are a good technical indicator that the BEAR is heading back to his cave.

Good for him, they always say it is much harder to keep it than it is to make it. That is what Jimmy Rogers did, two trips around the world. Maybe CNBC can start a show called Where Are They Now, and run it in place of Suze Orman.

This is a stretch, but there was a guy on the cover of Fortune or Forbes about 2 years back who was making some serious strides. Anyone know what might have become of him? I don't have his name, but this story made me think of the article, it is always interesting when someone is...

I enjoy reading trading books and the content of this book would have normally taken me a day to read. However it was so basic and poorly written and basic that I had to keep putting it down and switching to other things like Teenbeat and the Star for some interesting writing. Now the...

The SMARTBEEP commercial is my all time favorite, I tried to post the AVI file, without any success but it is well searching the web for. Other than that I won't spoil the surprise for anyone who hasn't seen it. E-Trade had a commercial that started out as an ad for a Nasal Spray called...

I suppose it depends on what your needs are with a broker, I have an account with Datek, but have experienced several non system related problems with them over the past year. I have an account with My Discount Broker. Com and have been pleased with the service and cost. They used to have a...

I will check the Symantec website and see, it may go both ways since I am running an older Symantec set-up. But I either need to get this fixed or take a speed reading course cause I miss the trading forum.

Tom, I tried Flash link and it did not help me. As for IE 6, I had that installed but my Symantec Products were not compatible, (another thanks Bill) so I had to switch back. So before you upgrade, you may want to check your other vendors.

The obvious next step after a trading career is to hit the lecture or software circuit. Think Ken Roberts, Larry Williams, Wade Cook, Don Lapree, et. al. The other thing, is if you can keep yourself alive, experience is experience. If you pay attention, you will learn loads about how...

Pabst, to me your concerns seem well founded. Two things that I have done and think are worth the money, that are non computer related. A paper shredder, there are usually several stories a year of people diving in dumpsters for credit card receipts and social security numbers. Seems they...
