    i have a question for those who own or lease a seat in an exchange.

    according to robert green

    http://www.greencompany.com/Educati...ntTraders.shtml

    people who are members of an exchange get charged "self-employment tax". as opposed to other types of traders that are exempt from this.

    is this in fact true?

    that would be a big issue as it would take away the benefit of lower commission rates altogether.

    any info/feedback would be appreciated.
