    Thanks. I have done turbo tax for my taxes the past 3 years and I haven't had any issues. I'm guessing turbo tax can take care of it. I'll look into it more later. Thanks.

    I am new trader need someHi My name is Ally:)- I really excited to start trading on t

    I've vaguely looked into the tax aspect, but I'm just concern because I have stocks as well. I don't trade futures, but I'm wondering how I'd report for a loss/gain. More often than not, my positions will be under 1 year. From what I gather, I should report 1256 method? I plan to just...

    Awesome link! +1 Thanks. I plan on doing exactly that. I have no need to rush. I'm way pass the rush frenzy mentality I had 'years' ago. I'm sure we all have encountered that. One quick question though. Do brokers make it easy during tax season? I normally complete my taxes via TURBO...

    Any statistician or math wiz or excel gurus? Need help w/ data charting.

    The question I have is, what exactly is seasonally adjustment in a time series? What is removed? Is creating a simple average in excel hard? I've been using the excel tutorials and trying to chart housing prices for the year on a chart and show an average. GOsh, I hate statistics. ugh.

    What monitor stand supports 27 inch w/ 100x100 VESA?

    Yeah. i think I might just put them side to side. I'm not about glits and galmour, but felt having an adjustable stand can help w/ my viewing angles, ergonomics, etc.

    Would you look at owning a condo the same as 'land'? Obviously w/ land, it is different, and in the end over generations that 'land' is now oh so valuable. Your generations to follow WILL NOT need to deal w/ mortgages or a roof, and instead have FULL DISCRETIONARY SPENDING! Even if they...

    I did not graduate from Harvard/Yale so why the try to pushing yields down.

    I am asking the same question. I want someone from the industry or insight to tell me how this YIELD CURVE even matters for bank. Would a bank underwrite a 30 year for 2% ?! i dont think so. At what point does the treasury curve lose its proxy for 'loans'. How do banks make money...

    What's the big deal about rates?

    Regarding this THREAD NOW. How does OPERATION TWIST affect REGIONAL/SAVINGS&LOANS THRIFTS? IF their sole profitability rests solely on mortgages loans in the community, does it mean, more regional banks will go bust? BUMP!

    What monitor stand supports 27 inch w/ 100x100 VESA?

    I have a glass table and want nothing too fancy, except to mount 2-27 inch side by side. They both are 100x100 VESA mount specs, but I have googled and not many suppliers make something for this. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I actually have 3 monitors, but the 3rd one doesn't...
