    WTF? State of California taking money out of my checking acct?

    Personally I have never had issues with the IRS. The California FTB is much more aggressive than the IRS in every way. Its attitude is to take the money first and leave it up to the taxpayer to get it back.

    WTF? State of California taking money out of my checking acct?

    I agree with you that the CU in Florida would probably not have been found by the FTB in California. But that's a bit different than what you seemed to mean in your earlier post when you said, "I know the Credit Union I have here in Florida would never have done that." I read that to mean you...

    WTF? State of California taking money out of my checking acct?

    If the credit union receives a levy order, it would not act any differently than BofA. It's not just "someone," it's the tax collector. For obvious reasons the FTB is very aggressive, but all state tax agencies and the IRS have the legal authority to levy your account without due process...

    WTF? State of California taking money out of my checking acct?

    Most likely California's Franchise Tax Board broadcasted the levy to all the national banks using your SSN and got a hit with BofA, which was all too eager to comply because it gets to charge you a processing fee of around $100. Even if the levy is made in error, which YOU have to prove, and you...

    E-Mini questions, please help!

    I don't quite understanding the kind of trading you want to do with the e-mini. I thought it was intraday trading, and for that $20K for 1 contract is very conservative. Intraday margin of $500 is common. Therefore most of the $20K will just sit idle in your account. Of course, even if you have...

    E-Mini questions, please help!

    The tax benefit of trading stock index futures comes into play only if you are good at it. The benefit is a nice year-end bonus and is really not a selling point to trade futures which are just better to daytrade than stocks, period. Of course I am biased. There is no tax benefit to trading...

    Has anybody read Technical Analysis The Complete Resource for Financial Market Tec...

    Getting back to the original post, the book looks like a textbook to be used in a college course on technical analysis. With more and more colleges offering courses on trading, I'm sure it targets a growing market. It has a similar academic feel to me as Harris's Trading and Exchanges, which...

    It takes 5 men 5 days to dig 5 holes. Therefore, it takes 25 "mandays" to dig 5 holes or 5 mandays for each hole. 10 men and 10 days = 100 mandays 100 mandays / 5 mandays for each hole = 20 holes.

    How Realistic? $50k account, $500 / day

    Sorry guys, I'm not buying what you're selling. If LV 4 bd 3 ba houses are going for $200K, then that's what they're worth right now. It doesn't matter what a 4 bd 3 ba house is going for in NY or CA. Location, location, location. In any case, I'm looking for something I can leave unoccupied...

    I'm embarassed to be a democrat

    It's obvious you're no intellectual heavyweight so I dumbed it down for you a bit. I'll try to make it a bit more challenging next time.

    How Realistic? $50k account, $500 / day

    Say wut? If it's selling for 200K how can it be a "600K plus" home?

    How Realistic? $50k account, $500 / day

    That's great, Don. 10 to 1 leverage with Prop. Not as good as futures, but I know you don't do futures. BTW, what do you know about the luxury condo market around LV? What do the transplants from out of state who decide to trade at your office do about housing? Just curious.

    I'm embarassed to be a democrat

    Would that be the first amendment to Maverick74's constitution? Then the second amendment must be the right to bear arms and shoot guns from a Prius while snorting cocaine from the bellies of underaged prostitutes.

    How to know when you've "made it" as a trader

    The intent of this thread is humor but one way you know you've "made it" is when you don't remember the last time you wondered if you've made it and you just know that if you stay sharp you can spend time in front of the screens and extract. Staying sharp does require daily effort, however...

    Chevy Volt takes 27 years before owners save money

    It was made in my first sentence in my first post in this thread: It's understandable you got confused since I've neither trashed your baby nor given it false praises and you therefore cannot figure out if I'm friend or foe. I am not here to take sides. That said, I will state that your...

    How Realistic? $50k account, $500 / day

    Hi Don, Then maybe you can make lemonade out of this lemon and help a guy out who's looking to establish domicile in Nevada. Where are the decent places to rent around LV for a transient trader? I need a place I can leave unoccupied for 2-3 months at a time and trade out of while I'm there...

    How Realistic? $50k account, $500 / day

    If you have to ask, then it's unrealistic for you. Also, if anyone puts the $500 as the numerator and $50,000 as the denominator in order to decide, then it's unrealistic for that person as well. The way you decide what's realistic is by figuring out what the market you are trading offers for...
