My power went out 10 seconds after the open. The good news is my UPS works and my T1 line didn't go down. But I only had 1 PC connected to it and...
6 fills/ +169 All losers or flat except for CSX. What a sweet fill on CSX. Too bad it was only 500 shrs. I imagine that's what all the fills...
Spend some time at http://www.greencompany.com/ to get a better idea about taxes. In particular check out their method for reporting gains. I did...
