Steve-

I just had a quick question about taxes. From our gross trading profits, can we deduct brokerage commissions and other investment expenses (such as SI membership). For example, say I start the year with 100K, and at the end of the year, my account reflects that I have 200K in cash. However, I spent 10K trading in commishes. Am I responsible for paying taxes on 110K or just 100K?

Thanks,
Garrett
