I played ACB call options since Monday. Got out today at a huge gain. At the peak, my calls were over 485% from my entry price. I sold on the way up. So I didn't multiply my position by 485%. But still a very good day and week. Unfortunately, I don't have any calls left. I rather bank my huge...

Execution traders on the buy side don't add that much value in today's algorithmic execution engines

Thanks for the link! However, it's about long term capital gains. Still doesn't my original question on short term capital gains being higher than your ordinary income tax, is it still taxed at the ordinary income tax bracket...

But pension funds have in their bylaws an upper limit how come much equities can be allocated to their portfolios. So, that allocation has to change for the fortunes of pension funds to reverse. I'm not sure if they will ever change these ingrained laws because the Board are risk adverse. But...

Everyone reads about Jeff Bezos salary being just $1. That means the rest of it is taxed at the capital gain rate. I'm no where near his situation. Just curious.

https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/taxes/capital-gains-tax-rates/ According to the link above, most people income bracket would make their capital gains tax rate at 15%. What happens if you make more money from trading than your normal job income , is your capital gain is still 15%? Actually...
