    Core 2 Quad 2.4 vs a Dual Core 3.3 Or wait and buy something else?

    You won’t get much benefit by updating a 775 socket. If you really want to upgrade you should get a new Motherboard with a LGA 1155 socket. I have been using a Intel Socket 775 Quad core 2.4 G Overclocked at 3.25 G for many years – it is more then enough for trading.

    Maria-- CNBC

    I have seen her disrespect anyone who does not agree with her. Basically Maria thinks she is untouchable and can say and do whatever she wants on that show. Did anyone ever see her on the Floor of the NYSE – she was nasty B-itch back then as well.

    Maria-- CNBC

    She is a rude B-itch. John Boehner is what is wrong with Congress. And the Tea party is what is wrong with the rest of the Republican Party.

    Botched 1099-B cost-basis reporting: The List

    IB would not correct my 8949 even though the wash sales were totally out of whack on the QQQ trades I did. The cumulative loss I had for that stock for 2011 was carried forward into 2012. I did not trade the QQQ for the entire month of March so my wash sales from 2011 should clear up. I have to...

    When does IB deliver it's tax forms online?

    I do understand how to calculate wash sales I was an accountant for 20 plus years. What I could not understand was how IB could come up with a 54 K wash sale for my QQQ trading. Bottom line for me was I can use their form 8949 numbers , the net effect for me was my qqq loss for the year of...

    Botched 1099-B cost-basis reporting: The List

    This was posted by me in another forum. I should note that the wash sales IB reported were far in excess of what they should have been however my actual calculated gain for the year appeared to be correct. Like the woman in the example with the 450 K wash loss , mine was crazy as well. IB...

    When does IB deliver it's tax forms online?

    Got it to work out. Very confusing but once it was all in Turbo Tx the gain /loss calculations came out correct. Simple solution for 2012 , no trading of anything that might create a wash sle in December !!

    When does IB deliver it's tax forms online?

    I am an accountant so I understand how wash sales are calculated. My report is just plain wrong – I sent IB a ticket so rather than going through the time to find out what they did wrong I will see what they say after looking at my 8949.

    When does IB deliver it's tax forms online?

    Bob when you have a wash sale that loss is added to the cost basis of your next trade, that process will continue for all future loss on the security until you totally liquidate the position and do not re buy after 31 days. Ib was adding wash sale adjustments of $2000 - $4000 on some trades...

    When does IB deliver it's tax forms online?

    I got my 8949 today and what a mess. They calculated over 50 k in wash sales when I at most should have had about $2000. My 1099 was obviously wrong as well. I short the QQQ maybe did 150 trades on it in 2011. I never lost more than $300 on any trade , most of the losses were very small under...

    IB 2009 gain/loss summary reports a total mess !!

    They do not have an option to filter out the Wash Sales. In prior years this report was clean and would tie into the 1099. I only trade 5 different stocks . My gain loss summary was a total mess with all the wash sale bs .
