Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Charles O. Rossotti 1111 Constitution Ave NW Washington, DC 20224 Re: Trader Tax Relief & Corrections Commissioner Rossotti: Over the last few years, Congress has passed many new laws that are quite beneficial to traders – i.e., those who...

GreenTraderTax.com is working on changing laws to allow retroactive application of MTM accounting and other tax law changes for traders. They are asking traders to take 15 minutes to send e-mails to Congress. The more e-mails we send, the more likely they are to listen. From the site...

I don't think you can bump or Change Order on ISLD. Maybe TNO-Mike will chime in here. But a bit off-topic, I do think that this may be the reason there is always an ARCA bid at .06 on just about every liquid listed stock (BRUT seems to be doing this now, too). I previously thought some...

Definitely "A Corner in Gold." Hard to find, but the best trading movie I have ever seen. They run it on TRIO quite often, if you have DirectTV. If you have TIVO, just search for keyword TRADER. -- Dave

The way I look at gambling and trading is this: In gambling, the house always has an edge. It varies by game, but they always have an edge. If they have a 1% edge, then for every million dollars bet, they will get $10,000 in revenue. If they run $100 million through that game, they will get...

This is a new indictment. That was old news. Read the story. Dave

One day in late 1999, I decided I was gonna get in on this mania. I was a long-term value investor and it seemed to be working, but not as well as all these Internet momos were. So I sold all the boring stuff and loaded up on high-priced Internet junk (15 shrs of YHOO, 25 shrs of CMGI, 18 shrs...

Are opening indications for individual stocks available anywhere (besides the floor)? I believe they disseminate indications to the tape with codes of I for imbalance, P for news pending and D for news dissemination. But my TAL data does not start until the first trade. Anyone know why? Is...

That's the problem with cards -- you can't use a trailing stop because they start vacuuming around you. Dave

I learned how to trade in a chat room several years ago. I must have stumbled on the right one because it was so different than any others I have seen since. There were about 100 people in there most of the time. The operators called an entry, a stop and a target at the same time. Then they...
