    You guys might still remember I asked around here some time ago about incorporating and trade with other person's money.

    That question aside, in the mean time I am seriously considering leaping forward and start full time trading as a profession after doing it alone with the job for so many years.

    Let's put aside the doubt if I can float or not aside. Say, before I turn in my letter, what things I should take care of? I am thinking about the following:

    1) Health insurance. Any one knows real figure of premium for a family of 3 (2 adults/1 kid), living in NJ, that I expect to pay so still maintain a comparable health insurance offered by a big-corp?

    2) Tax. Do I have to/Should I incorporate - even it is only me, or I can just starting doing it right away from personal accounts and just pay tax on profits, and write off costs like subscriptions, equipments, etc? Any huge advantage of not incorporated?
