Is there some kind of "investor" status one can declare to move everything to Sched C? Writing off things like trading software and trips to shareholders meetings? I know they have a trader status thing, but the main advantage of that seems to be mark to market each year. I am looking for a way to write off investment expenses which do not reach 2% income threshold.

Thanks Joel. I did not know about the 15 year limit. It's nice how the government is your full partner in gains but not in losses.
