    IB - Straighten out your f'in Bookkeeping!

    Well, well, well. Here you are, yet again, personally attacking, with literally nothing to say about the topic. Talk about "vomiting" into a thread, eh dickwad? My sole contribution to this thread was my 10 years of handing over my statements to my CPA, who has no trouble at all with the...

    IB - Straighten out your f'in Bookkeeping!

    I've been trading with IB for something like 10 years or thereabouts. I don't do my own taxes. I send all the paperwork to my CPA, who does them for me. He double checks IB. No errors. In fact, he loves this Schedule D that IB now puts out. If my CPA has no difficulty, and you do, guess...

    She is stupid, a tax cheat, and a quitter...no wonder the klannish relate to her.

    What you left out is this statement by their attorney: "Palin's attorney, Thomas Van Flein, said it is not the responsibility of property owners to report structures that go up on their land." Then there is this: "Dunivan said no one has called the borough on the Palin lots, among many in...

    She is stupid, a tax cheat, and a quitter...no wonder the klannish relate to her.

    Perhaps you should have read the article somewhat closer. This concerns property taxes, not income taxes. As the title of your article says: "Cabins On Sarah Palin's Land Have Never Been Assessed". Let me repeat that for you: Never Been Assessed". There is no obligation on the part of a...

    Homeowner take the low road......

    In many states a borrower who walks away from a mortgage can be sued for a deficiency judgment. So the guy whose house is worth $100K with a mortgage of $250K might potentially be sued for $150K depending on the state. Even in a state where the house is the only security, like California, I...

    10 point slip on commex gold?

    I follow GC closely, and actively trade it. Right now I'm trading Feb GC. I don't see a time today when you would have had "slippage" of $10 on a one lot in the Feb contract. OldTrader

    Air Card for laptop

    Not sure how you came up with that. 1G = 1000MB. So if in fact you're using 58 MB per day, you be getting just under 20 days per gigabyte. You have 5G's. Frankly I'm surprised to hear that he's only using 58 MBs. I would have thought it would have been higher. I've never used mine in...

    Air Card for laptop

    I do see that plan available right now. The problem is that 4G only exists right now in certain cities. Mine isn't one of those. But I'm looking forward to it. OldTrader

    Oh look, Jim Rogers was long the dollar the last two months, and didn't tell you ?

    Rogers has never claimed he never had a losing trade. I don't know if you're just completely misinformed, or if you're a complete moron, or perhaps both. And by the way, I noticed Rogers saying he was buying the dollar quite a while back. It was still going down at the time. Evidently...

    Best Alternative to US Citizenship

    YOu can avoid social security taxes with rental income and/or investment income. Futures income not only avoids social security, 60% of the income is taxed at long term capital gains rates. There are many deductions you can use against rental income. Plus when you sell the property it is...

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    I think what you're missing is that this $100K exemption is a yearly exemption. So basically you can trade 2 ES free. Every ES you trade after that for the rest of the year will cost you .25% per side. You trade one gold contract and you've used up the exemption. After that, .25% per side...

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    Time to stop being defensive about being a trader. The fact is that if you "lose your job", several things are going to happen: some brokerage firms are going out of business, some software/support type firms are gone (chances are GreenTrader will have a problem by the way), lots of people...

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    GS was "responsible"? As I said above, this all started with the Community Reinvestment Act. The government. Are you going to tax politicians? How about all the irresponsible borrowers who got into loans they could not repay? I don't see the purpose in singling out one entity as...

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    I agree with much of what you say, with one exception. Why redirect populist anger? Why not recognize that a good portion of the problem here has to do with government to start with? Didn't many of the problems today start with the Community Reinvestment Act, an act which required banks to...

    Button Trader

    There's substantial documentation on the ButtonTrader site. You should be able to determine from that whether ButtonTrader handles your needs. Just do some reading. And by the way, if you have needs that go beyond ButtonTrader, it doesn't exist, and further, you are trading too complicated...

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    Pelosi first expressed her support for the transaction tax way back when TARP was first passed. I saw it on an interview on TV. She's definitely pro-transaction tax. Nothing to be confused about there. What happens internationally is important, because if an international consensus...
