    Trading, Poker... What else is there?

    Day Trading -- is it a career?

    Thanks for all the input... I know in the end I'm going to make a leap of faith and try to do both. Although med school is extremely time consuming, I've talked to a lot of current students and they do have time for an hour of working out a day, or the like, usually (except during certain...

    Day Trading -- is it a career?

    I'm a successful day trader considering a major career change in part because it seems that many people who start trading in their twenties end up moving on from, or at least going into the business side of, day trading by the time they are in their late thirties. Long term consistent...

    12% short-term capital gains MA State Tax

    Good point. I'm going to check with the cpa on that. I will have to see if avoiding the 12% short term capital gains tax is possible if one submits a k-1 and pays no FICA. If I can only avoid the 12% by submitting a 1099 and paying the 15% fica, then the situation is looking kind of crappy...
