    Living on a boat and avoiding taxes

    If she gets her money working on the territory of the US, she will have to pay taxes there, even if she is there less than 183 days/year. Another story for participation to film sales.

    Living on a boat and avoiding taxes

    Actually not. The last time I looked at it (I think it was on greencompany.com so it's worth what it's worth), if you are a non-resident CORPORATION, you don't pay capital gain taxes, whatever a tax treaty is existent or not. This is different for non-resident INDIVIDUAL.

    It's all tensor calculus. Nothing really complicated....once you get it, it's all mechanical, a little like derivation...and in the end, what do you do with all these formulas to apply them to cosmology ?...a poor linearization...

    Beware of the multifractality of prices in your study :) Don't give Einstein to much credit for his works. I have studied physics and I didn't find his works were really so great (with all due respect). I much better appreciate Feynman's ideas...and life :)

    Did I say that Hurst exponent was in relation with skew or kurthosis ? I don't think so. Next time I'll write a complete sentence for people to understand better.

    Living on a boat and avoiding taxes

    Found on the net... Croatia is an attractive partner for foreign investments. The framework for U.S. business investments is in place: Most Favored Nation and GSP status, a Bilateral Investment Treaty that was signed in 1996, and treaties on the avoidance of double taxation and protection of...

    That's life... my methods (but I'm not the one to sell them as I got paid to develop them for others) are for sale, but you make money out of them. The standard method is free...but you don't get a penny...and usually get fucked by people using my (or others) method...

    Trading for a Low-Paying Living

    I am totally disillusioned about most people and I think this is the main problem for a complete integration in a corporate place, whatever it is. I have tried banks, insurances, software companies, sports instruction, university research ...and even the army. All about the same. Definitely not...

    None of them. It's just a question of Hurst exponent.

    Live in Switzerland. Not declaring your participation in the IBC and the dividends you receive isn't a penal crime. All you risk is a light fine in case they discover it...but let me remind you that in Switzerland, there is a need of strong evidence for a judge to go over banking secrecy.

    The thing is stocks do not exactly follow a gaussian distribution. In a gaussian distribution, scaling follows a square-root function. If you compute daily returns and scale them with sqrt(250), weekly returns and scale them with sqrt(52), monthly returns and scale them with sqrt(12), you...

    Are you sure the historical volatility of MSFT scales as sqrt(T) between daily returns and 3-months returns ?
