    Buckeyes are #1

    Same was said in the 2001 OB and a team that wasn't supposed to win....... WON. That being OU. Outmanned, lack of speed, etc. Now expecting gobs of miami fans saying it should've been them in the game........ :D My response, the other 1 loss team not in the discussion...... UW...

    Buckeyes are #1

    sc is no more deserving of a shot than is OU or UGA. All three played well in the bowl games. FSU didn't belong. Neither did an overrated ND as evidenced by the thrashing they received courtesy NCSU (included because they would have taken FSU's spot had it not been guaranteed). Iowa and OSU...

    Buckeyes are #1

    I won't go too deep into this, but if you want to talk if's and but's, sc has no more claim to playing OSU in a Champ game than OU or UGA. sc didn't even win the Pac 10..... WSU did, that's why they were in the Rose Bowl. OSU destroyed WSU, OU destroyed WSU, SC lost to WSU. The only like...

    Buckeyes are #1

    Cane fans whine about the "end zone" call, but fail to realize the CONSTANT holding by the miami db's ALL GAME, which went uncalled. If the ref made the correct call with approximately 2 minutes to go when Gamble caught the ball in the field of play all this other stuff about the endzone...

    Accounting/Tax Software of Daytraders??

    Actually an incorrect gross proceeds total (sch D vs 1099) is a guaranteed red flag. The IRS will usually pull them right away to get the situation straightened out. I got a letter regarding one of my clients two years ago within 6 months after filing. This situation has been an ongoing...

    Accounting/Tax Software of Daytraders??

    I noticed that there was a problem with the 1099 totals last year. They were gross amounts and not net of commissions or something like that. I attached a note that the 1099 was incorrect, including the E-mail to IB stating such with an example highlighted. Haven't heard anything from the IRS...

    Accounting/Tax Software of Daytraders??

    Sometimes goodwill in doing something that saves the client money pays bigger dividends than bagging that $150 an hour. Most preparers hire an assistant ($10-20/hr) to do the grunt work and still charge >$50/hr for inputting data. My thoughts, If the CPA refuses to do this to save time...

    Accounting/Tax Software of Daytraders??

    Your CPA is incorrect. You can post totals in the schedule D and note the attached summary schedule of each transaction printed out using Excel in the Sch "D" format, thus, tieing the numbers. This is one of those anally retentive areas that CPA's don't like to let go. I should know as...

    leasing a hot car ? or wish you didn't ??

    I was looking at that site and thought about the spanking the leasing companies are going to take on the Ford Explorers that are coming up for turn in. With all the bad press the Explorer got with the tire issue, they can be had extremely inexpensive, relative to other vehicles in the class...

    leasing a hot car ? or wish you didn't ??

    RS7, Most of the time there is a monthly rent included in the payment in excess of the estimated depreciation and interest charges. Have to check the contract closely. Later, Cracked

    i can't stand this ahole

    The "South Park" episode was hilarious. The one kid kept calling him a douche and John kept crying about how he wasn't one. Spaceship comes down to let John know he was nominated for the "Biggest Douche in the Universe". Great show. Later, Cracked

    "Trader" taxation

    As a floor trader, you are a professional, and your income derived from such trading is ordinary income. That is why you get hit with FICA. Traders off the floor, in most instances, are not required to pay FICA as the income is from Cap Gains. I'm a CPA and have gone round and round...

    Ebay??

    I find Ebay to be very useful in procurring products for restoring my motorcycle. I found parts that would have a total cost of ~$800 from the dealer for under $100 in used parts in excellent condition. Most of which would be considered junk to most people who saw it. One item, unavailable...

    Audit Possibility

    The IRS doesn't look kindly upon individuals who try to take trader status and have a full time job during market hours. If you fall into that category, you have a greater risk of losing trader status. Later, Cracked

    accountants make fun at us

    Who's reports are they in the first place? The accountants or the managements? I agree that there have been some high profile situations where the accountants involvement has been terrible and shameful. The problem is that these statements aren't the accountants, they are managements...

    What I can trade with Roth IRA ?

    I think the difference is that the IRA account isn't margined. The IRA account makes an investment in the sub account which has the ability to margin. It's an entity issue. If you were to open an IRA account and gain margin authorization, then you may get the ruler on the knuckles...
