Tax advice for stock options trading account? I opened a stock options brokerage account to buy and hold options. What i need to know is about the taxing of these. Say i inves (deposit) $1000.00 to open the account and buy $1000.00 worth of stock options and they perform excellent. Say they go up in value 50% each month. And at some pont in the near future i want to WITHDRAW my initial deposit since i earned it back. CAN I WITHDRAW THE INITIAL DEPOSIT AMOUNT WITHOUT IT BEING TAXED? Also-Can a`stock options trading account be taxed quarterly instead of once a year? How can i figure out how much of my investment return i CAN WITHDRAW periodically and what that tax would be or can't i? THANKS

Short term stocks trade advice needed? I am thinking to go into the stock market. My idea is to trade stocks of well established companies. Looking to make a small profit. I would appreciate it if any one who has experience with day trading can give me some advice. Which sector to pick?. What stratgey to use?. The strategy that I am working on is to pick companies with good fundementals, but then use technical analysis to do the short term trading. I don't want to go for the long term investment becuase I don't like how the stock market has been behaving lately (mostly a down trend). Yes you are right, I meant swing trading and not day trading. I intend to invest in companies with good fundementals, becuase I don't want to take the risk of seeing my money wiped out!.

Stock trading and tax consequences? I recently started investing in the stock market. I initially started with the idea that I'd invest in 5 diversified ETF's or Index Funds and just let it sit . . . . .the idea being I wouldn't incur any tax penalties for a few years. I got tired of waiting for those funds to get moving, so I sold those shares and am now invested in ~15 fairly diversified stocks and have been actively trading for profit (and losses, of course). If things continue the way they are, I will hopefully have a nice profit . . . I'm just concerned that taxes are going to kill me. In the books I've read, there are two prominant themes: 1) Taxes + Fund Expenses + Trading Commissions will erode any profits you may have made trading. Just stay invested in a few diversified index funds and rebalance once per year. or 2) If you're paying taxes, it's because you're making money. It's not a bad thing to have to pay taxes. Trade away. Any thoughts/advice? Any good books on stock trading and taxes?

Help with stock trading please...? I'm 19 years old and i have been very interested in the stock market for quite some time now. I'm not interested in investing big bucks at this point in time, but maybe in the near future. For now I would like to invest a few hundred dollars in a few stocks, just to learn the basics of trading and hopefully make a little cash on the side. I have been watching a particular stock for a few months now, and I calculated today that if i would have invested $500 back in June, I could have sold today for a profit of over $2000 which I believe is pretty good. I haven't signed up for an online account simply because it scares the crap out of me. I have been looking into signing up with Zecco. Is this a good idea? Can someone please tell me how to get started without getting into some kind of trouble? I'm tired of reading lines like "a fool and his money are soon parted" and i would really appreciate some good advice for entering into the stock trading world. Thanks for the help.

Should I flip my ESPP stock? I got a new job six months ago at a large company with an employee stock purchase plan. Since then, I have been setting 15% of my income aside to purchase stock. The plan has both a look-back provision and a 15% discount. The stock is currently trading about 10% higher than it was when I enrolled, so I will use the look-back provision to purchase stock at 85% of the trading price last November. Are there any clever CPAs out there who can give me advice on whether I should flip the stock or hold it until November 2008 so that it will only be subject to long-term capital gains tax? I was planning to flip the stock, but I just found out last week about the difference in taxation. Thanks for your help!

Can I get into trading stocks without paying ridiculous fees & commissions? You see these places like TD Ameritrade, Scottrade, E-Trade and Datek Online.... They all seem pretty reputable, but I don't want to have to pay $10 - 15 every time I want to trade a stock. Especially since (in the beginning at least) I'm only going to be buying or selling one to ten shares at a time. Buy two $9 shares of a stock and pay $15 commission to do so? No thank you. Any advice?

Financial: Looking for some investment advice on monitoring insider trading? I've heard that Insider BUY/SELL data is a good indicator of stock future. I've been tracking this for the past month and for as many stocks that increase in value, just as many decrease. What are some additional KPIs that I should monitor or could use to filter out the duds? I'm sure some of it has to do with the recession, but smart investors are still out there making money. If you know of any good, FREE market analysis and research tools please let me know. Thanks, Top Buddy

Looking for Share Investment Advice (UK).? Hello. I am looking for share investment advice for a number of companies trading on the London Stock Exchange. I'm very much in the Warren Buffet school of thought that if your buying on the up, you've already missed the boat. Are there websites of trading advice around and their reasons behind them? Also, I see Buffet has gone big in Israel at the mo (I presume he feels the conflict is not as large as the media portrey or it will blow over sooner rather than later). Are there any London based companies with a link to Israel? Thanks!

We live in America, but have stock in the UK, please help!? We live in the US, but my husband works for a UK-based company and was recently awarded stocks by this company. This stock (trading in the UK) has decreased in value rapidly since we received it a few months ago, meaning that we're paying taxes on the value awarded, but the shares are only worth what we owe in taxes for them :(. In any case, we're trying to determine ... should we keep the stock and hope it goes back up? Should we sell all of the stock now before it drops any more? Should we keep some of the stock, but sell a percentage and re-invest in other UK stocks to diversify our UK-portfolio? Our other thought is to sell all the stock and invest the money in an apartment / home in the UK that we would keep over time in hopes of long term appreciation. We plan to continue living in the US for now, but may at some point want to re-locate to the UK so it will be nice to have some money there. Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! The question is quite general and less about the particular stock (yes, it's a good company - tech co actually - with lots of work 'in the pipeline', growing and expanding, etc.). Really, I'm trying to figure out, is it bad to have all our UK stocks in one company or should we diversify? If we diversify, should we sell now while this stock is low and buy other stocks now? Or is Real Estate in the UK typically just a better bet than the stock market? Looking for pros and cons and just generally informative types of answers to help in the decision-making process - Thanks :)

What is your best advice on how to work around the shorting on the downtic rule? What method of trading do? you recommend? Stocks are up.....and down. Is this simply trading that has to be done from now on? No long term investment from now on? src50 Long term trading is dead, unless the US government is willing to print and loan money to the markets indefinitely! Businesses will have to get their money from bonds and convertibility of bonds. Automation is eating away an average human's earning power, thus deflation is in the beginning stage of a steep drop! I think this is obvious, but I think the average investor cannot see this coming.
