Not an expert, but as long as you are a US citizen I believe you owe US taxes. I think in your case you can give up your US citizenship and not owe any taxes since your getting married to a foreign national and taking citizenship in your spouse's country of citizenship.

It is or it isn't a big deal depending on how you trade. There are many traders that step in front of market shorts for a couple of cents on NYSE stocks as their primary strategy. This is done at many proprietary firm offices. Obviously, without being able to short on downticks, this type of...

The apartment lease is more of a credit issue. As a foreigner you really have none, so you would need get a "cosigner" from n insurance comany. They call it renter's insurance there. Without a Brazilian social security number you will not be able to purchase this. But even if you worked it...

What will happen to all the daytraders that step in front of market shorts? This was the main strategy at some of the prop shops I've seen.

I never used a taxi. I think it would be hard to find a room with DSL already hooked up.

Hello Jay. I've been back without a problem, but I did not just overstay, I had another way around the issue. I just know people that have overstayed. It's true that if you overstay, you may have a problem getting a visa later, but you won't have much of an issue while you are there or when...

I think it means a firm that is trading it's own money that is not a broker dealer.

I had ATI PCI and AGP running together. It worked fine, no problems at all, with Windows XP. Later, I had to install Win2k because of some other software issues. I could not get the cards to work together running Win2k, so I got another AGP card.

Would prefer to stay in Cali, but most of the trading firms especially futures shops are out in the Chicago area.

If he starts doing that, his messages will probably be deleted for pumping his company. Sort of makes it hard to get good info about firms on ET, but if the policy wasn't there the free recruiting would probably get out of control.

Fast Trader we're gonna be neighbors. I'm moving from SoCal to Glenview late this month/early next month. I've been trading options for a firm for a little while now, but I just got another trading job in the Chicago area. I'd be interested in meeting up if I finish moving in time.
