I have been thinking of LLC idea for quite awhile. Does anyone know if there's any particular hassle/expenses for a LLC whose only purpose is trading securities? Do we need do reports/forms regularly? Or do we need to hire an account/lawyer? Thanks for your input.

Does anyone know how to file tax return as an active trader in Canada? Any idea or link? Thanks

Just try to submit a basket of orders and re-logon to TWS and see if your orders still there! It's nice to know what's going on there before you really need do something when market moves quickly. I believe orders are still live, but you can't access them anymore, kind of scary .

Has anyone else experienced this problem before? I don't even know those orders are still working or not, and if they're working, how may I cancel or modify them? IB's tech support hasn't been any helpful on this.

Can anyone give me some possible reasons that a stock can be traded under its per share cash? COSN, traded at 0.37 with $2.11 cash per share, almost no debt. Isn't it worth at least $2?

As the 9/28 is approaching, I'm considering to deposite more money into my IB account to qualify daytrader according to new margin rules. Yet I'm not confident enough to put 25K at a broker from whom I have never received a piece of paper. All my knowledge of IB is from internet. What if...

when does an option expire? The begining or the end of the month? Can anyone point me to a good educational website for option trader? Thanks
