I bet its investing not day trading. Maybe swing which is more like investing but I bet they have a longer time horizon then you want. I didn't even know they offered this and I've had an account for many years...in fact I've never been to the "education" tab on the site before.

Are they pushing this as teaching you to trade or teaching you to invest? From the site: Obvious question before you sign-up: ask to see the account history for the previous year of the person who will be coaching you.

The whole loss carries over and evens out the gains this year. If you still have losses that aren't offset with gains you can continue to take 3k against income each year until its all used up.

Fair enough. I thought this whole tangent started when TraderZones said "Why not just put the money into IRAs, and trade it in futures, whatever?" I trade futures in an IB IRA and I don't file any special paperwork, just like TraderZones said.

When you are trading futures in an IRA you are not using borrowed funds so what you quoted above doesn't apply.

While I generally disagree with raising the taxes on the top taxpayers (mainly because I am in that group) please keep in mind that the INCOME tax is not the only tax in this country. There are many other taxes that everyone pays, no matter how low their income: SSA, sales, property...

Wow, you're like a bozo the clown childs toy - no matter how many times you get punched you just keep popping back up undaunted. How many times in a row can you possibly be wrong? Are you going for a new record?

On the flip side, every tick up is a 1% gain and you could easily double your money if the gov't makes some announcement that even smells favorable....not saying that I would touch it, just saying I'm just hoping my Citi account # and routing number don't have to change; what a pain to update...

For your answer, take a look at Fannie and Freddie (FNM, FRE)

Time for plan C or is it D? Hey ST3, maybe you can hook up with Doug Allen and manage some of his money for him? From an earlier post: GOOG opened at 357.47 on the 19th EWZ opened at 36.61 Currently: GOOG 318 EWZ 33.5

Its an annual audit, the situation did not exist before so this would be the first audit that occurred since GM ran into serious trouble. All I am saying is that this audit statement formalizes something that was already well known and widely reported. Even GM management has said as much (if...

"There's substantial doubt GM can continue as a going concern" Auditors do what auditors always do. They have to be conservative, its their job and they don't want to take heat later for failing to "reveal" this critical fact. Seriously, is there anyone that hasn't known for many months...

Way OT but I find the larger shrimp sizes funny considering the literal meaning of the word shrimp Extra Colossal Colossal Extra Jumbo Jumbo Extra Large Large

What!?! There's no free lunch? I'm shocked!

I don't know what the options are when you dont have admin rights but normally you could set a default route so that all traffic that isnt destinated for your local subnet goes over the wireless card. Worse comes to worse you could always physically disconnect the LAN cable then definitely...

in the common vernacular equities are considered wealth and therefore wealth has been destroyed, not just transferred by these events.

AIG is worth less than zero. No other company would assume its liabilities and assets. Its a $300B blackhole. The premise is that letting AIG default on its obligations would cause more financial loss than it costs to just continue to prop it up with these gov't infusions. Note that...

You have no argument. Its pointless trying to have a rational discussion with you....you are one step above a troll - and I'm being pretty generous with that characterization.
