Darkhorse, The cool thing about the Heli-boarding is they can gear the terrain to your ability. I don't like really steep tight chutes. I prefer the wide steep faces that you can flow big carving turns and an occasional drop-off. You tell them, they'll get you to the terrain. You in...

Darkhorse, I like big and little cottonwood canyon areas (Brighton, Canyons, Snowbird) Utah, places west of Denver, Squaw, Mammoth. Got friends that live in the areas that know all sorts of inbounds freshies. Used to hike to some areas with the girlfriend, but, she didn't like the...

rs, I go snowboarding, preferrably in some remote location. No nonsense talk about the market on the mountain. Of course getting to the lodge or hotel was a different story with the TV's. I get edgy about not being in touch, but, get over it quickly. Wasn't it..... When EF Hutton...

I'm getting real tired of these crazy power alerts and have become gun-shy about trading during any period they are in effect. Last year when the power went down, the phone was also out. Last thing I need is to be long and have the electricity go out and the market tank, or vice versa with no...

trdrmac, You were up pretty late last night using west coast time. Was wondering were you a located? I'm in So. Orange County, CA. Another funny write off on a return that I couldn't fathom. A construction contractor bought an $35,000 engine for his race car. Pretty...

I agree Caltrader. It pays to investigate business structures before jumping into the fray. Someone with 20K in income would have a different circumstance and business structure than another with 200K. The basic issue of being deemed a trader by the IRS is crazy and never truly been...

I wouldn't trade the experience that I recieved, however, i should have stayed in the line of work I left to go to business school. I actually enjoyed it but tired of getting dirty hands..... At least I enjoy trading futures and doing tax returns during the first part of the year. It is...

If you are exploring a new business and ultimately don't start the business, yes, you are SOL regarding any expenses. If you are looking for a potential new location for an existing business, those expenses are deductible. For example, a lease is expiring and the current lessee want to...

The matching principle, you must have been an accounting major too. ?? Unfortunately........ YES!!!!!! :mad: :mad:

Here is something to consider when using the IRS pubs. They are NOT considered a valid source of support for any position unless it is supported by case law. Plenty of people have used the pubs as support only to get dinged because a case law decision was 180 degrees from the publication...

trdrmac, I'm assuming the person is currently in business. This violates the second requirement listed that the cost were incurred before the business begins. I agree if the business has not begun. If the business doesn't move to the new location how do you amortize the cost...

I'm not sure if I would use that recommendation (Networking) to substantiate a write off of a vacation. I'll give you one that is better and less likely to catch the wrath of the IRS. Go on a vacation, take a day or two to "investigate" a new location for your business. If it is in an...

I wired money on 6/19 using all the info from IB's website and sent IB a deposit notice. IB had funds the next day. I did notice the person filling out the form at the bank forgot to put IB's bank account # on the trans. form. Once we got that in place it was sent out the next day.

I know I said I had enough of this thread, I have a parting comment. If you feel that I'm arrogant, definition... feeling or showing proud self-importance and contempt or disregard for others, Then there are a good number of people who feel the same way regarding W's IQ, etc. By W's own...

Chas, I find your comment judging another as arrogant and irreverent completely out of line and a personal attack. You have no idea whether I'm arrogant. I've been described as very intelligent with my biggest drawback being I'm self-effacing, not withstanding the intelligence crack. I'd...

In Dubya's case is a colonoscopy performed by a Dentist due to the crap that spews from his piehole...... :D I figured that Cheney and W's Father would know exactly what is going on back there because they both have their hand up his arse like a sock puppet.

When I'm more inteligent than the president, there is something seriously wrong!!!!! :D

<b>MARIA</b>....... Need I say more!!!!!

Generally, those neg amortization loans are ARM's. Just another albotross to throw around the neck once the downtrend gets strarted.

<b>Don't mean to sound flip, but wouldn't that kinda look bad on your credit report when you go and try to get the next house?</B> The one thing that will always prevail is that bankers are greedy. Prove you don't need the money and likely you will get funded. If someone planned on...
