Is it that my posts contain to many questions? Or can no body answer them? I am not trying to be rude but these are pretty good questions I think...

Anyway,

1) what is IRC 179?
2) Just "trader status" means trades go on schedule D and expenses go on C? And you can only take up to a 3000 loss on trades, right?
3) Mark to market means trades go on C and expenses go on C as well? and unlimited losses, right?
4) If I elect either of the above, will I have to worry about SE tax?

Ok that should make it alittle more clear...
thanks again.
