Any idea as to best way to hedge GE exposure? Don't want to use options because of time decay. Was thinking of buying some SDS. I know there is some tracking error but that occurs more over the long-term, correct? I especially want to hedge exposure over this weekend since GE just had a pop.

That's unfortunate that Roth IRA earnings which are withdrawn would be considered ordinary income instead of capital gains, because then that eats into your $3000/year allowance (for using capital losses against ordinary income). I wonder if it matters whether the Roth earnings were derived...

thanks for the replies. So as far as the two-thirds of cases that settle, has anyone here gotten a check from one of these situations? If so was it mere peanuts? I received a quite a few of these letters which are long and full of dense fine print and I wonder if I should spend the time...

so do you fear being laid off? Are you planning on continuing in IT? will this trend get worse or has it levelled off? what do you think the IT field will look like in the US in 10 years?

If you own a particular stock during a certain timeframe sometimes you receive a letter in the mail about a class action lawsuit against that company. Does anyone here follow up on that? Sometimes you don't have to do anything to be included in the class action, sometimes you do. Has anyone...

Normally if you have capital gains in a Roth IRA account and you withdraw them before you're 59.5, you must pay tax on them and a 10% penalty. I am wondering if you have capital loss carryover from a non-Roth account if you can apply the Roth earning against that to avoid paying tax on them if...

+1 why is it that self-employed and independent contractors are never mentioned

What about in situations where you shut down your trading business? Does some of the section 179 deduction then have to be recaptured on the computer?

yea this is one of the issues I'm still a little confused on. My trading had a loss, so I guess I can't do the section 179 deduction. I did have a small amount of w2 income from a part-time job but I guess the computer cannot be deducted against that W2 income. But I have read otherwise so...

what form did your records of how your computer was used take? what is considered as acceptable proof to the IRS that it was used for business purposes only?

How many of you who bought computers for trading use deducted them on your taxes? Did you take the section 179 deduction which lets you deduct it all in one year? If so, did you recapture some of that section 179 if you stopped trading in a later tax year? The recaptured deduction would end...

do those who take meds for ADD generally have a creep up in dosage over time due to tolerance? that's a big risk

For those traders who have mark-to-market status, how many of you deducted health insurance premiums paid out of your own pocket? It is my understanding that can be done only if you traded in an LLC or other form of incorporation. And would the same be true for traders without MTM?
