What you're doing amounts to a wash sale in different accounts: https://www.irs.gov/irb/2008-03_IRB/ar08.html

This doesn't even sound legal. MMs are supposed to fill your order.

First, what broker is this? I've never seen this. If I send a limit order on the bid/sell or ask/buy it fills immediately. I use IB. Also, are you using smart routing or direct?

I hear there's a Danish submarine that just came on the market...cheap!

You're not the first to think of this. It can be detected by regulators. While you might avoid paying a penalty, you'll still have to pay the short term cap gains tax in your non-tax-deferred account.

Why bother using a low-cost broker for a buy-and-hold-forever instrument? It makes about as much sense as buying mutual funds at IB.

The mining fee depends on how many bytes are used in the block which in turn depends on the number of inputs there were to the transaction. It also depends on how soon you want the transaction to clear. The fee does *not* depend on how many BTC were transferred. Modern wallet clients lets you...

I'm all for abolishing capitalism as long as I get to keep my money. :D

Yes, and I fully expect the free ride to end at any time. They have such nice risk graphs for option trading.

Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole Not like you Dark Side of the Mood was the first album I every bought. I paid $2.99 for it (new) in 1973.

Don't count on IB's (or any other broker) greeks. They don't appear to be calculated off the mids which one would expect so you end up with weird numbers. I have some positions that are definitely theta positive that showed negative today. I wasn't worried because it wasn't real.

Dang dude I get to use the term "butt hurt" twice in 1 day! If something truly sucks then just ignore it!

There's been some thinly veiled "butt hurt" sentiment in other BTC threads. I could see feeling cranky about being left out.

Yes, more actual commerce with BTC. i.e. getting paid in BTC and buying goods/services with BTC *without* first converting to fiat.

I stopped believing in Holy Grails after the first 4 Crusades.

In general it's best to not trust the greeks from your broker. Brokers use proprietary methods for greeks and they vary from broker to broker. Message boards are full of complaints about "TOS is right and IB is wrong" and vice versa. The one thing that's always consistent (in my observation)...

I just picked up yesterday's TWS update and the greeks are back now.

Hmm I saw the same thing today. My Oct19 SPX options showed greeks but not the Sep29 or Aug31.

Non sequitor. In Western nations women, like men, are free agents with the ability to work where they want.

That's just stupid. It's been established through various studies that women simply don't negotiate pay as well as men. To "fix" this problem women need to be taught to be assertive from an early age and society needs to learn that it's OK for women to be assertive. All these artificial tricks...
