Sorry, maybe my comment doesn't apply - I use the bundled commissions setting.

Are you talking API orders or manual orders? Because manual direct orders cost the same as SMART orders.

This is probably the least offensive lie Cramer has told.

My feeling is you can't prevent crashes. The price goes to where it wants to go. If you have limit-up, limit-down days, where trading ceases, it seems like it would cause even more panic because you can't act. Are there any legitimate studies or instances that show that a cooling off period...

One explanation: Bernanke is beginning to lose control of the bond market. He must be really puzzled right now why his ass is being handed to him on a silver platter.

I'm pretty confident that it won't just affect liberal arts schools.

I guarantee the Fed won't start tapering in Sept. How many times have their been rumors of QE tapering and it didn't happen? Fool me once... Besides, it's not in the Fed's DNA.

What, because the packages got smaller? Sure they've been "coming in a bit" per oz.? I call bullsh*t.

95% of the time he pumps companies that come on his show.

I've missed a few opportunities in pre/post market trading because of this ridiculous capping "feature". However, that was a month or two ago and I haven't been stung by it since I filed numerous complaints. Maybe it is possible they are continually tweaking the algorithm to make it better...

All of it is written in assembly language?

Read: http://www.smartmoney.com/taxes/income/understanding-the-wash-sale-rules-9860/ Especially the "substantially identical" portion of it. You're definitely not playing conservatively if you substitute one ETF for a similar ETF in order to avoid a wash sale.

Seems like you have to wait for some sort of positive price action before entering (giving you some low to put a stop around). The way the precious metals are trading, they could be much closer to $0 in a couple of days, but who really knows?

Also, note that if your K-1 shows a gain in one of the boxes, that usually means you get to increase your cost basis for that partnership assuming you got rid of all of your units before yearend. So in other words, for short term traders, usually all this K-1 stuff is a formality that doesn't...

Well, in my opinion, Tax Package Support is currently misrepresenting your K-1. My opinion might not mean anything, but it is confirmed by other K-1 preparers, namely Partner Data Link.

You are considered a limited partner of that fund and they are reporting to you your share of the partnership's gains and losses on that Form K-1. You point out that line that needs to be transferred to Schedule D, but that is just capital gains from the partnership and has nothing to do with...

Yes, UVXY provides a K-1, but that does not mean you don't have to report your paired buy/sells of it on Form 8949. The K-1 is independent of Form 8949 and does not replace it. I am pretty sure you can have wash sales involving UVXY. Please show me some tax code if I am wrong.

My first suggestion would be to double check to see what kind of tax reporting your broker provides you. Is it possible they are already doing these calculations for you? My second suggestion would be to really familiarize yourself with the wash sale rules and see if you can manually...

Your percentage seems high to me unless you are making serious coin. I have trader status and can write off business expenses. If you have a self proprietor business then you don't pay self-employment tax because your income is not considered earned income (of course you can't contribute to a...

Wouldn't that prohibit transactions in foreign currencies or am I misinterpreting your question? The US tax law already handles all types of foreign currency transactions, and bitcoins would full under that law. So all transactions, at the time of the transaction, are virtually converted to US...
