Most important part 11. Some of the factors to be considered in ascertaining whether the taxpayer's course of conduct indicates the carrying on of a business are as follows: (a) frequency of transactions - a history of extensive buying and selling of securities or of a quick turnover of properties, (b) period of ownership - securities are usually owned only for a short period of time, (c) knowledge of securities markets - the taxpayer has some knowledge of or experience in the securities markets, (d) security transactions form a part of a taxpayer's ordinary business, (e) time spent - a substantial part of the taxpayer's time is spent studying the securities markets and investigating potential purchases, (f) financing - security purchases are financed primarily on margin or by some other form of debt, (g) advertising - the taxpayer has advertised or otherwise made it known that he is willing to purchase securities, and (h) in the case of shares, their nature - normally speculative in nature or of a non-dividend type. Although none of the individual factors in 11 above may be sufficient to characterize the activities of a taxpayer as a business, the combination of a number of those factors may well be sufficient for that purpose. I just plan to plead that although I trade often I have no knowledge of the security markets and spend no time researching stocks** I just look on CSW and buy the one that is going up on volume. When it losses MOMO I sell. Best Regards KEITH
