I don't buy individual equities for investments therefore there is no bias Hi irby, I was mistaken in assuming you invested in individual stocks. What you are doing makes sense to me provided you cannot produce greater gains with your trading than the funds yield <g>. Get a friend from the southern US to explain the dead horse reference. I thought everyone was familiar with it. Best Trading, X P.S. Do you agree that it is not good for a trader to have individual stocks in a long term portfolio?

Question regarding schedule for income tax return - I'm a new day trader. I just realized that I'm going to have well over 1,000 trades for the year. How do you guys (& gals) report your day trades on your tax return? It seems that the best way is to actually itemize them on a supporting schedule for Schedule D of the Federal Income Tax return. To report the profits on Schedule C would subject me to Self Employment Tax on the profits (which is avoided by using Schedule D). I would appreciate any input. Thanks in advance
