As was mentioned before on this thread, incubator funds are a bunch of nonsense created by the legal industry to make money. THEY ARE TYPICALLY...
FYI update for anyone interested I haven't been around much for the last year or so. Thought I'd give an update to follow up on some comments...
Law of diminishing returns is already taking hold. I remember us all saying that we would have flying cars by the time I got my drivers license a...
Of course it is rational and very intuitive. They aren't doing it to be mean. Just acting in their own self interest. They are obviously using...
Hmmm, it seems that where we are missing each other is partly in the definition of the consumer. When I refer to credit consumers I'm not...

Actually global markets are heavily correlated during crashes and become less correlated as the recovery ensues. The lowest correlation is to be...
Agreed. For futures ops you don't need much tax advice. Not worth giving up 1256 in order to gain certain other tax benefits. A regular CPA...

I can't really help you with any of it much more without you studying a bit. I can't do it for you without a complete list of your trades. Even...
