when they can't-in US goverment steps in.:eek: Shaky consumer still needs Fed support http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090817/ts_nm/us_usa_economy

but still-L2 is limited to 3 or 5 tickers, plus IB data is a snapshot, not really live + they have issues with sizes on bid\ask and volume. see "IB true size " thread bottom line-ok for retail trading,useless for serious real time volume\size\price analysis

as far as i remember they also have limited L2 and it's kinda sucks(at least it was couple years ago) in L2 they did not display all sizes from all participants, just biggest one. so if you have @ bid 2 separate orders on ARCA-one to buy 100 shares @ 5 and another-buy 500 @ 5-they will show...

even if they do-how you are going to identify each piece and work with such huge amount of data? did you ever tried to receive real time streaming basic quotes for like 500 tickers?

just wait until government steps in and tax or regulate to death this biz. or simply close it,because it will represent competition to new, government provided health care

50% is a drawback? be happy...let's do some simple math for average USA joe... 25% federal taxes(family with 65-130K income),6% state,13% SS tax:=44 already...then there is local taxes,school taxes,real estate taxes,medical insurance,how much is the total? the system is f* to the core. it's...

exactly. at least it's better than just piss away billions on wars or bs bailouts http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090806/bs_nm/us_aig_wallstreet

they will mask more with the clunkers program. it's all over the news along with "Obama team".

i ask the same question for bonds looooooong time ago. they put such a ridiculous constrains which basically against any logic. i cannot close my position or place an order, if there is no quotes no both BID and ASK from some third party exchange. so-my offer will sit on IB server,showed as...

it's really simple-you made money this quarter-you pay estimated taxes. you didn't-you not paying.here is more info about it- http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=110413,00.html also remember-that short term cap gains are treated just like wages(ordinary income). -...

looks like you are trying to find a way around estimated taxes? probably the only way is distribute at end of the year and pay taxes after. receive quarterly and not paying estimated taxes probably not going to work

yes. instead of reducing the taxes,encourage businesses to be in US,having low,balanced budget ,US govt doing exact opposite. raise taxes and expand government to get their hands on few individuals,who happens to be smart enough and have their money outside of US. we all know how it's...

it is, but in case that you don't know-US tax it's citizens worldwide. #2-offshore mean that the country not taxing the business if profits are earned outside of country of incorporation. use search on google. it does help here-first link from top-...

only if you meet certain criteria(something like 600 or more hours on job etc). and i'm not sure if passive profits from investment would qualify as an income

mmm..i'm still not sure about that.. one may form C corp and take benefit of initial 15% tax rate on first 50K..but again-it's only 50K..maybe some sort of combo..i still unable to find any big tax benefits in incorporation or LLC..deduct some expenses, that are subject to 2% floor on regular...
