Jack, Some interesting reading for you. ssa.gov In particular, ssa.gov Keep hitting the next button or jump right into the good news ssa.gov 1812. Types of income not counted under earnings test. L. Interest and dividends from stocks and bonds (unless they are received by a dealer in securities in the course of business). M. Gain or loss from the sale of capital assets, or sale, exchange, or conversion of other property which is not stock in trade nor includable in inventory. Z. Payments from Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA's) and Keogh Plans. (See õ1339.) Looks to me like you can do all you want as long as nobody changes the rules. It might get dicey if you want to classify yourself as a trader, but there is no need to do that. Of course you might want an expert opinion. Mine is not. Good luck. Dan

Jack, let me say this... First, I don't have an answer to your SS questions. Second, if you're not (and even if you are, for that matter) already an experienced trader, BE CAREFUL. Stories seem to abound of people who made a million in the market, etc., but I assure you that being a successful daytrader is a tough game that takes a lot of learning and a lot of discipline. Unless you have a ton of money that you can afford to lose without being hurt, please proceed very cautiously. Good luck! Chop
