Just remember that if you do that and you own your home, I think that what you write off needs to be taken off your basis or treated as rent income and therefore almost becomes a wash. If you rent, then I don't think it's an issue. But, I'm not an accountant.

Sorry guys, no princesses for me. Just one real woman. Found her, married her, have a family together, grow old together, love her the rest of my life. We have a REAL life together, not a princess fairy tale and that's the way we both like it.

Uh-Oh. My sincere apologies. You are absolutely correct. I didn't notice the dates. Thanks for the heads up.

Bright has no limits on consecutive days you can hold overnight Actually, no haircut fees for <6x when the positions are HEDGED. When they are naked, haircut fees start after 2:1 But keep in mind that the clearing firm still charges broker call margin interest for ALL stock held over 1:1

Sorry to be difficult, but joesmoe's numbers aren't quite accurate. If you have $50K in your account and have $700k hedged ($350 long, $350 short - don't need to be approved, hedged means equal dollar value long and short), then, as joe says $700K is subject to haircut. As indicated, bright's...

Daniel, I manage the remote traders at Bright. Don't know how many threads you've read here on ET, but just so you know, for the most part, Bright requires traders to put in funds and doesn't take a cut of their profits. (There are a few exceptions, but those are not the norm.) I make sure...

Depends. Is there satellite modem service in Bali? While it covers a LOT of the world, it's not everywhere. They'll only put one up in a geosynchonous orbit that will cover a significant portion of the population, and that population must be able to make it financially worthwhile. TV...

Bright has an office in Hingham which is a suburb of Boston. You might want to give them a call at 781-749-0851. It's been there for a few years now.

That's ridiculous!!! What are those guys at IB thinking? The professional status only has to do with what you pay for quotes, not what exchange you can trade on. You might want to consider another broker. As a Series 7 holder, Datek and E-Trade want me to pay for RT quotes. I don't, so I...

OK, maybe the "garbage" stuff was a little harsh, but at least have it scaled, 1-10 or 1-5, whatever so it can give a little more info. Also, I like the idea of rating a thread the same way! That would be very helpful. The whole idea behind this is that there's a lot out there on ET and...

If you're talking NASDAQ, I think it's about as real as it gets cause everything is electronic. And you have the ECN's in there competing and always trying to shave milliseconds. With a good connection, you're probably about 1/10th to 2/10th of a second away from when the trade occurred (time...

How 'bout a system to rate posts. For example, you could have button on each post which would pop-up a rating like: 1- this is garbage 2 - Almost garbage . . . 7 - Informative 8 - Good info - others might want to check it out 9 - This post has been extremely helpful/informative 10 -...

Well, I guess we know how you got your nickname.

There are a few cities outside the US where you can take a Series 7 test. Definitely London, another city in Europe on the continent. I'm not sure about exact locations in Asia, etc.

What we need to do is get Baron to provide us with a list of Don's and Def's number of posts each day they've been on ET. Then we can plot it and see where he is in relation to his moving average. I told him a week or so ago that he had an opportunity to beat Def to 1000, but I guess he didn't...

Why are you guys bashing Hold Brothers? It looks to me like they've done a good job of recruiting asthetically pleasing traders. Remember guys, there's more to life than making money. If they do go under, I'd recommend that Bright hire their recruiter. I might even start trading from an...

But no license required to get 10:1. Yet they require traders to put in funds. How can they do that?

And that LLC is...?:confused:

Remember It?!?!? I was long it when the crash occurred. A rude introduction for a newbie trader. That's one of the primary reasons that I prefer to be a DAYtrader.
