Well, I have a 300k traditional IRA that I worked hard for years to accumulate. Converting it to a Roth will immediately put me into the 33% tax bracket. And that's before I even start to add in any trading profits and other income. I don't know that I am physically capable of writing a check of that size to the IRS, all at once, just like that. Is there a better way?
Create a LLC in Singapore and trade through the LLC. Singapore = 0% capital gains tax. You can make a LLC in Singapore through a proxy. As long as your money is in the LLC, and you do not withdraw from it, you don't have to report any profits you make as income to the IRS. There was a more extreme case of this preceding the facebook IPO, where Eduardo Saverin renounced his citizenship in the US so he did not have to pay capital gains tax.
