If you trade frequently and make a lot of money (they don't care about $10K) you are avoiding taxes by using a scheme (in this case the ROTH) and that is unfortunately YOUR problem. Not theirs. Remember I'm talking about the concept you can have your cake and eat it too. The Roth is not...

I apologize if I gave the impression I ran afoul of the IRS and had to pay taxes and penalties. My trading in the Roth was long term in Gold, CrudeOil, and so on. Trades put on years ago and held until I just closed the accounts. That's okay (hopefully). We'll see. I'm over 59.5 and have...

NO that is not true. BTW, the IRS just doubled their budget to go after people who fail to pay taxes to close the tax deficit. They'll audit people who make over $100K. That's what they said they're going to do. So here you are the one in a million, who makes a million in your Roth...

That is exactly correct. In theory you will get away with it but who here isn't trying to "strike it rich quick" by trading often enough to make a bundle. IF you do you will be swatted like a fly on the wall after you've been given sufficient rope(time) to hang yourself. The penalties alone are...

I have one computer that's used for games with a 10,000 rpm SCCI which runs very fast. My other SCCI are older (bought them new) and you can see the difference. But I don't need speed as much as rock solid dependability since I'm in the market all day long.

The big problem is getting a decent hard drive. IBM sold out to Fujitsu so the only dependable hard drive is a SCCI IBM and then you need a controller. People don't understand that computers run only as fast as the hard drive. Most store brands run very slow and are crap. A lot more than ram...

You're following Einstein's theory of compound interest. That's too slow for me- like watching grass grow. As far as retirement goes I thought I had discovered the next thing since sliced bread, the Roth IRA account. I came out of retirement (living off passive income) to work for 5 years to...

This is a true story (very unusual on this forum): In 1998 I bought my son a Toshiba Satellite Laptop full retail at CompUSA for $2,000. In 2000, Toshiba had to pay class action suit so I got $250 check and $250 towards future purchase so I bought a Toshiba cable modem with the $250. He used...

Are you taking ALL the divergence trades or only the ones that "work"? I see plenty on the charts you don't mark. My guess is you go back and mark the trades afterwards like good little "papertraders"- try doing it in real time with real orders and stops. Then come back to me and I'll give...

Hey Spydertrader- you never heard of Formula One racing? What is the appeal of driving(?) in a circle over and over again? Where is the skill in that? Together with drinking Bud which tastes just like piss, what a fun time with the gals who marry their cousins.

Does ZZZzzzzzzz know how to trade? Maybe he thinks he's on another site like a ghost who doesn't know he's dead. Hey ZZZzzzzzzz you're DEAD!

When I was in Rio, the place was one big slum with a soldier with a rifle around every corner with the exception of the tourist areas where the women were HOT and mostly naked. Stop talking and send them up here where they'll be appreciated.

Fred Bloggs: Your country is leading the way to taking ALL our freedoms away from us. You have cameras everywhere in the name of terrorism. Now you want to track where every car goes all the time. Your MI5 is responsible for what is blamed on terrorists like your last subway bombing, for...

I went to see it because the movie I wanted to see was packed with kids (8 below). I love dogs! Aside from the scenery the movie was slow, boring, poorly acted and the tent scenes were hard for a straight guy to watch. What surprised me was the audience was entirely composed of couples and...

"It is threads like yours that keeps those of us who are serious about trading far away from this place.. I have never seen anywhere else on the internet so many sissies as there are here! Sissies here and then the Trading forum nothing but little boys playing a little guessing game as to...

Based on what I just read on Drudge Report, Saddam is claiming the 148 people he killed were trying to kill HIM! So I predict he will not only get off but run for election- win- and kick us out of the country. How do you like them apples? Is that all they have on him? I would have thought...

You answered your own question: "I find sometimes they hold- others not." See how easy that was and look at all the time you saved! Find something that works most of the time. That's what I did. Also, don't expect to find THE answer here. You come here to waste time while a trade is on or...

PBW: Is it possible you are undercapitalized and that is a bigger concern than what type of computer you buy? Why even consider a USED computer otherwise? Btw I use pentium III 500 computers that I got for FREE from my old customers who were upgrading and I knew the condition of them...

"In a 1969 Life Magazine interview, Jackson said that when he worked as a waiter in a Greenville, South Carolina restaurant, he would spit into the soups and salads of white customers. "[Spitting into the food] gave me a psychological gratification," Jackson said." So much for eating out at...
