The fed is raising rates, so why did the rates on treasuries drop? Prior to the last 2 days, you could get similar yield on a 1-year CD and a 1-year treasury of about 5.3% last Thursday. Now the rates on treasuries are quite lower by 60bp than CDs. Is this because the Fed changed the...

Thanks! finally some good news to help my profits.

I had a couple hundred extra dollars in my account and I couldn't figure out where it came from. Did the SEC fees change, because I notice that the fees I was charged yesterday were alot lower than normal. or does it phase out after you hit a certain amount?

I got the fee, I guess I can't trade this symbol anymore as the fee was more than my profit. Not very transparent on their website that this fee exists or even how much it will be, as I can't compute it based on the number of shares or the proceeds.

Turbotax cannot support any entries (including totals) over 10M. Also, it cannot support more than 10,000 trades.

It is also capped at 10,000 trades. I am not sure there might be other limits.

TurboTax is not good for traders because it doesn't let you put in sales over 10M, which most traders probably have. However, you can attach the Schedule D, and Forms 8949 manually and file via paper.
