I really don’t understand why we need to be closed on Good Friday. Every year I’m complaining about this. Don’t the Jews run Wall Street? Ironic huh
This is a tax and accounting issue, not a market structure issue: https://www.journalofaccountancy.com/issues/2014/jul/sec-475-election-20149537.html
Correct. Also note, the Trader graphic specifically mentions 475 (MTM) accounting election. And states "Traders may be eligible to make". TTS is required in order for the IRS to accept and recognize the 475 (MTM) election. Otherwise, ANYONE with a relatively sizable (and minimally active) portfolio would be eligible for trading business benefits and taxation.
Where I live there's a large number of boat ramps, every man and his dog is out in their tinny fishing, no one at work, then we have a 4 day weekend...
