Married with 1 kid. I met my wife shortly after a startup I was working at disintegrated in 2002 and I was collecting unemployment. We got married when I was trying to trade fulltime with 30k in the account and 30k in credit card debt (not to mention 40k in student loans and zero assets) and...

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll try to keep Quotetracker off until after the open. I don't think I get a message like that on TWS (I'd have to confirm that tomorrow at the open).

Not sure if this is due to IB TWS, but my HP laptop tends to slow down to a crawl right at the open for a few minutes, then it goes back to normal. The strange thing is, when I bring up the Windows Task Manager and look at the processes using up CPU cycles, it's mostly on "System Idle" and...

Wow, $Cost! I remember last year I think your account was upwards of $20MM. Are you saying you're almost double that amount? If so, you are T-H-E-M-A-N. Good to see you're still posting.

Hey SiSePuede and Player.... Let's hug it out, bitch!

Hey Timothy. Congrats on the show, book, etc. One thing I always wondered while watching you on WSW was: Considering your trading style -- chart watching & daytrading microcaps -- you must've been limited in terms of how much capital you could've employed with that strategy. I mean, I can't...

Ahh, a Mr. Market reference. Whatever happened to that hairy fat bastard?

All your talk just says to me that you happen to be bullish and stay bullish during an unprecedented runup in the market, similar to many a talking head on CNBC. When you make the right bearish call, then I'll be impressed. Otherwise, when the market finally does turn south, you'll be singing...

Warren should hire the winner of the CNBC Million Dollar Challenge, who'll probably win by putting a million dollars on a $5 stock that trades 100k shares/day. With that kind of skill, they should be able to invest $100B no problem! :)

Umm.....okay...... Is it just me, or can I never make out what this guy's talking about? :p

Thanks gnome. According to the Fidelity website (regarding their solo-401(k) offering) -- "The Self-Employed 401(k) is designed specifically for self-employed individuals and owner-only businesses....Eligible business owners include sole proprietors, partnerships, corporations, and S...

According to the Green Trader Tax (www.greencompany.com), an entity (e.g., SMLLC) is necessary in order to establish a 401(k) for myself. Can anyone confirm that this is in fact true? I'm not sure if this is necessarily the case. As a sole proprietor with trader tax status, I can transfer...

I hope you're using your newfound winnings to rebuild your mother's retirement fund, assuming she's still alive.

Pros - Great hours (on the west coast). I'm done by 1:30pm and have the rest of the day to play with my kid - No pffice politics - Don't have to kiss up to anyone - Zero commute (assuming you work from home). That alone added back 2hrs/day to my life - Better earning potential - Being...

Thanks for the link!

Taxes vary by state, but I would say most if not all don't cap income.

I'm going to get smacked on AMT for 2006. Anyone know ways of decreasing AMT? I'm a sole-proprietor right now in CA, does changing your entity offer any shield from AMT? Any help would be appreciated!

Am I the only one who thinks this contest is ridiculous, and not just because you can enter multiple times? Just the fact that you can go all-in to one stock makes it a joke. The vast majority of serious investors wouldn't think about doing that with real money, and who would give anyone money...

I've only found HSAs with a handful of mutual funds as their investment options. It'd be nice if there was one out there that allowed you to trade individual stocks. As an alternative, I'd like to find an HSA with a wide range of mutual fund choices. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd...

As many of you traders out there, I have a bunch of apps open (charting, browsers, trading sw, etc.). It would be great if there was a utility out there that remembered my trading enviroment so that I can just open it all up with a single click? Or is there a desktop scripting utility where I...
