    US brokers: Taxation of dividends & interest for foreign corporations

    HoundDogOne thanks for the post. And let me guess, it doesn't make a different if the account is held by a non-US natural person or a non US-corporation!? Sucks to lose out so much on the dividend income!

    Closed-end Fund Income Investing

    I just discovered and read most of the journal and couldn't find any reference to www.cefa.com. I like the performance graphs here which I believe INCLUDE dividends, i.e. the little chart shows the total ROI a CEF has generated over time. Here is an example of a fund...

    US brokers: Taxation of dividends & interest for foreign corporations

    I understand _ALL_ foreign natural persons as well as foreign corporations are affected by US withholding taxes on dividends and interest. The question is: Can we get the taxes "back" somehow? Let's say I have an account with a US broker and use my Bahamas corporation which owns a bunch of US...

    Neuroshell trader

    Lancelot, I use Tradingsolutions and I know you can lag inputs to the NN by any number of periods, e.g. "-5" (use the input value from 5 periods ago). It's a good piece of software, just don't expect any silver bullet. Once you learn it and build yourself a few dozen good models for...

    Getting my act together

    gutsytrader, I know a thing or two about fat loss, here's what I know about losing weight: 1. Diet alone WILL NOT HELP since your metabolic rate drops faster than you can drop fat. You starve your body and end up losing what little muscle you have. 2. If you have 3x90 minutes time a week and...

    Someone used my IB account to trade!!!

    I have no idea what EXACTLY happend, but here are some thoughts. 1. Windows OS computers can get infected by trojan horses, this can happen by just surfing around with your trusty old IE6 and getting a 0 day exploit injected into your Windows system. 2. If 1. happend then somebody _COULD_...

    Trading and Dating

    Tell them you make 7 figures a year analyzing the financial markets. Wearing a (high quality) fake Breitling or TAG (the good fakes go for like 200-300 bucks) helps. Give $20 tips to waiters on the first 2-3 dates, always impresses the females. You will get more action than you can handle...
