I do not think IRS charge 2M WITHOUT intemized list. Why don't you see and show us the specific reason, stated on the letter. Possibly make photocopy or scan it, to show us. (Of course with NO personal name)

The more your portfolio is diversified, the closer your return seems to be Normal-shape, I agree. Although return might be NOT good enough in short-term, your return SHOULD be more secure. Furthermore, instead of Normal-shape, it may be Log-Normal, if I heard correctly.

It is too short to discuss. If OP are confident for future return, I can lend you money with 10% interest. But OP need half of the seed. All I need is annual 10% of the other half. PS) As an alternative, one possible way to express return rate for 10 years might be as follows. "For the last...

Sooner or later, hope to visit LV. But they do not dislose table running info, before we visit there. I heard LV is terribly down in economic crisis. I wonder if they can open Holdem game. However, since I heard even in 911 they open poker table, there might be some game and players in LV too.

Additionally please tell me # of tables (roughly 10/20 NLHE or so) in LAS VEGAS too, if anyone visited there, like Wynn or Bellagio.

For speeding up, we hope yahoo make one NEW page, with thousands of last closes ONLY. Possibly, we lose lots of time to refresh another page of browser EACH TIME EACH STOCKS.

Dear- It seems that the following clip shows how to download stock price for ALL stocks in the world, from yahoo/finance. Furthermore, it is free and no login and robust to any country's market. My question is "Is it possible to use R to do the same data feed for the SAME yahoo/finance...

Don't forget "stock market is zero-sum". Furthermore, as long as there is tax and commission, the market is minus-sum. If tax+comm takes 5% of all available money in all people, then most will be broke after 20 years. It is well-known that only 5% will be a winner IN THE LONG RUN, specially...

There are two parts of expense, KRX(in Korea, such as NYSE) + brokerfee. And possibly, your local broker in US charges some fee to you, as well as hidden broker in Korea. For example, if you buy China stock, then there are three brokers, US broker+HK broker+China broker, who smiles to make money.

If I heard correctly, 1) There are more down day than up day. 2) Most increasing happens during the night, instead of during the 9:30 and 4:00. If so, average day trader will more likely lose money, than average swing traders who spend at least a night.
