To make sure you don't have withdrawal symptoms, what you can do is trade different symbols than you've traded all year long just during the month...
Can't agree more with this post. My philosophy is to keep my finances as simple as possible so that they take up less of my time, they don't cost...
A wash sale is just an imaginary tax construct. It has nothing to do with the total money in your account after any specific trade. So in your...
Yes, both of my guides (2002 and 2012) have filled-out samples for Form 3115. But again, I'm not comfortable sharing these files because they are...
I checked my purchase history and I bought two different guides, one in 2002 and one in 2012. They both have sample tax forms in them. It is...
No, I don't think that is the way it works. Again, I could be wrong and I have never verified this with IB. However, after losing several...

The guy still blew out his account, so don't be too happy for him.
