Daytrading & Divorce.....

Ex-Girlfriend. Not wife. She's in her 20's. And let's just say she went "crazy" on me.

Don't know. I meet a lot of women and they all are some type of crazy in one way or another. At least with the ex I already know what type of crazy she is. Women tend to be very good at hiding their crazy during the dating period.

I'm at the moment thinking if I could do some type of risk control on her.

There really is NO stop-loss to marriage. Divorce provides SOME loss-cutting but the negative impact will stay with you your whole life. Do you really want to trade with no stop-loss? In trading, the ultimate stop-loss is margin call. In marriage, the REAL ultimate stop-loss is death. Till death do us apart! Is that the kind of "risk control" you want to take? Think about it. LOL

More like Page 3 and it's all @SimpleMeLike's fault. It was him who started this debate about how a man is supposed to pamper his wife and it's men's job to make women happy blah blah blah and it's from that moment on that the thread took off on its own.

I hope OP's had some information to think about though from the 1st two pages and half; those pages were all about divorce advice.

He's black. -- All Black and Latin men share that same viewpoint...of taking care of, and pampering, your wife...and making them happy...placing them on a delicate pedestal o_O, :confused:
That display of emotion and care...can also work both ways, those races are also passionately violent as well when things turn sour.

White and some Asian men generally treat their wives as equals...much more of a modern woman, who can wear pants and do everything a man can do.

No, I would say majority of the Asian men, maybe not the ones who are born in the West, but certainly in Asia still believe that they need to "take care" of the woman. And among "White" men, Russian and Jewish men still believe in taking care of the woman. So it's not really a racial phenomenon, but really depends on how and where you are brought up and which culture you are exposed to.

Hello,

Going thru a divorce.

Traded part time before getting married, went full time during marriage.

Only traded my own money & didnt work for anyone else.

That has become my sole source of income.

During a divorce, could my daytrading be considered a business in which the spouse would be entitled to a chunk of the "business"?

I only file on sched D and form 8949. I dont have it set up as a business. But would a court consider it a business?

Thanks

be prepared to trade with half

Edit: and to answer your actual question: yes, it will be considered a business, but you can definitely make a case for keeping the capital in the business as you need it to generate income. The case you can make to her is: you can get half the capital appreciation since marriage, or alimony for 5 years based on my trading income of $X.
