>> ... I would definitely say ..stay away from day trading !!!
Depends on lot of factors. I have been trading for last 10 years. I don't trade stocks. I trade index futures sp500 and Nasdaq mini. It is short term - couple of hours to maximum couple of days. Day Trading requires good analytical skills for technical charts and lot of discipline to follow enter and exit rules.
Taxes are computed differently for futures trading. You will need this IRS form (6781 Gains and Losses From Section 1256 Contracts and Straddles) to file your taxes for trading futures.
>> ... STAY AWAY from all day trading software !!!
I agree. They are mostly snake oil. I suggest - do some reading and follow some indicators and come up with Trading Strategy. It is recommended to do paper trading before starting trading with real money.
>> ... if you cannot take losses (or are happy with normal returns) ...stay away from stocks (except for a small portfolio/ 401 etc) completely
Trading, of course, involves risks. I pick funds for my 401(k). So far it has been good. I was up last year 4.2%. Never had any losing year in 401(k).
DO you mind to share what are all the funds or shares you are owning in your 401K
There are many tools for technical charting. I use Ninja Trader since it allow to me define new indicators using c# (.net) language.
If anyone is interested, I put my daily charts here. Sorry, I can not disclose my indicators and I don't have anything to sell either.
I can share some trading books, if you are interested.

I am jumping ahead of the situation here, but I just wanted to see what other members think/know. Assuming that the 90K visa recapture happens, It doesnt take too long for them to be used up in the current situation where there are a lot of people with labors and approved 140's (w/PERM). Not every one will have an oppurtunity to file for a new labor and file for 485. If DOS makes the PD's current / post Mar 2005, wouldn't it be unfair to people who labors are pending for 3 yrs. How does this work out in the previous recapture? HLG doesnt say about numbers being forwarded to the next year though.
HLG wants to give these 90 K to the healthcare professionals Schedule A only...So I donot know about you but I donot get anything for sure.....Even if the recapture is for all categories it would not make much difference....May be EB3 ROW would become current...and EB2 India dates would move a bit....

gc4me : Pardon me, but how is citizenship not a relevant issue to legal immigrants? If you're not worried about citizenship issues, then why are you even infesting this thread? Many people, including me, might be interested. And I have indeed contributed, although I don't see how that is any of your business and as long as this website isn't being hosted on your home computer, I don't see what gives you the right to ask it of anyone in a patronizing tone. It's simple really, if you're not interested in any issue, just stay away. No one needs your BS sarcasm or disapproval.
This is important thread and shoul not be closed.
IV is a organization of highly skilled immigrant who suffers from long waiting for immigration process. That includes all issues such as Name check, EAD, AP, Backlog, Green Card, I-140, I-485. Citizenship is also a issue that ultimately affects to all who wait for the long time for GC. So this organization should at least discuss implication and possible solutions, that can help to reduce Citizenship wait time for its members.
Because of the other pressing issues, it may not be a priority issue, but it is some thing to keep on the table and discussion when Major Immigration Over haul take place. I personally think it need action from cogress to address it.
I think releief in terms of less years as citizenship wait time for Highly skilled immigrant who has waited for long/ contributed in the taxes to the country and contributing by his Skills and Qualifications, is achivable.
when Some one who just marry to Citizen can get Citizenship in only 3 yrs of wait, If they can give cuban credit for their wait time, If in last bill they can propose TO REDUCE ONE YEAR WAIT TIME for some one who know english, than why one should hesitate in asking similar relief for some one who has Say PhD/ Master in Engineering/ Sciences, has contributed to this nation in the taxes for five or more years and has suffered because of the problems in the system.
Remember orginal wait time for Five Year after, though I am not exactly sure, but looks like designed based on Family based Immigration system, where person comes in the country just based on the family tie ( no other qualification) and comes directly as a Green Card holder it might be wise to wait five years to see his contributions to the country and his other aspects.
Also when many countries are making changes in their rules to attract highly skilled immigrants, when US imigration system is likely to be changed in near future, this might be right favour to ask for Highly Skilled immigrant from any country in terms of citizenship benefits.
Hope IV team and members keep this topic in mind apart from other immidiate pressing issues and needs. some time we come so much involved with our immidiate need that we can not see long distance. Who ever brought this point is thinking in the long distance goal of finishing immigration process, which many of us started as a H-1, F-1, Visitor, J-1, L-1 or among the several other immigration categories. Why we should not be thinking of finish line, where we want to reach some day. There is no harm in thinking and discussing that how to reach that finsih line.

Finally I was greened after 4 years and 3 months from my I-140 approval date.
I opened a SR yesterday and today my CPO e-mail came to my mailbox. However my wife's status says
"On August 2, 2010, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later."
Do you know what does it mean?:confused:
I am not sure whether opening a SR helped or not. Good luck to everyone. Remember GC is something but not everything in life. Being healthy and spending quality time with your family are more important than GC.
Congrats Masterji. BTW, how were you able to open the SR. I called them this morning and they told me that my PD became current yesterday so I should wait for 30 days before calling them back.

I am a strong supporter of IV , its cause and one of the state chapter leaders . And I also believe that IV's goal should be clear and focussed, but this is an issue that eats my heart.
What kind of justice it is, where people are rewarded for breaking laws and those who followed it are made to suffer.
We are here in the US not only for ourselves but also for the better life to our children. If we can't give them that then our living in this country is worthless.
I also think that this issue should be part of IV top agenda among other things. The folks in question are not illegal but our very own in EB category. They are the greatest victim of the system. When I look at my sufferings , it is less compared to what these people are going through. My green card may be delayed but most likely will not be denied. Whereas, their green card is as good as denied.
While I am writting this and putting myself in your shoes, I feel helpless and hopeless. If IVians won't help here then who would?
agree 100% but I cannot see that IV will be able to assist us , so we will have to put our heads together

To all EB3 members whose PD is current:
Monday is the last day. If you don't get your GC approved, you got to wait for at least 7/8 months before they start moving dates forward. Beginning of each fiscal year, the dates are generally very conservative.
And for ROW EB3, if the bill passes to eliminate country quota, you will be getting your GC in not less than 5 years from now which you could have get it if your f**ing attorney/company would have file it 7 days earlier! Big time screwed! I am one of them!
The good thing is eliminating the country quota is always lumped with doubling the total quota and/or recapturing previous years waste, so hopefully the affect evens itself out.. Eliminating the coutry qouta by itself is a disaster.

May I know in what respect multi-national execs are inferior to researchers?
Well, may be they are not inferior. But, the people who are getting treated as multinational execs for GC purpose are no way close to being one. I have seen two of my colleagues working with me got their GC's through EB1... and seriously these guys don't even do typical day to day project management job. Documents are cooked up for them as managers... like they do yearly appraisals for others (which I definately know they don't), like they do recruitment (again the guys I know don't), like they are PMP certified... and seriously, both the guys I know are certified :-) But, you know how the certifications work... come no way closer to doing some research :-). I am giving you a first hand experience...anything else?

A very sensible message from sw33T.
I have to agree with him about the look and feel of our website.
We have to give a facelift for our website. I'm pretty sure we'll have
lot of web experts among us. ( Unfortunately I'm not one. ).
I agree on everything with sw33T. I also agree with paulacao that we should get feedback at regular intervals.
However, based on the current feeling, our bill will come in Feb. Our first priority should be the requirements for the bill; IV appears to be begging to meet these requirements. We need to take care of these requirements right now.
If we have more resources we will work on the remaining priorities. Please separate the main show from the side shows and freak shows.

Signed up for recurring payment through my bank, you should see my $20 check by 24th.
A small advice for non contributing members, try skipping your lunch once a week and save $20 a month for IV, this way you help yourself too by loosing those extra pounds.:p
_______________________________________________
Contributed $100 till now and signed for $20 every month.
Thats a great way of looking at it. Hopefully should get some more members motivated.

Hi
Is there any one who has got EAD renewed in the last 2 months ie in Feb, March 2010?
As some one mentioned the lockbox creating delays , Im frm SFO , CA so according to the new I-765 instructions so I need to mail it to the Phoenix , AZ lockbox, am I correct?
Has any one been successful in getting an interim EAD ,in the recent past (6 months ) by going to their local USCIS office in case they didnt get their EAD's in time ie before the current EAD expires?
Thnks

Weldonspring,
I am on the same board. I am also planning the samething.
1) After 11 weeks that is next week Friday call the customer service and raise a Service Request
2) Within 2 wks no response, on 90th day I will walk into the local office (SFO) and ask for interim EAD.
3) If Still create the issues, packe the bags and go back to home country. It is really bad,
getting frustrating for everything no regulare process and always waiting.
So I give up, I applied on april 1st and still waiting no updates:mad:
Agreed it's frustating, but I wouldn't give up so easily. i would continue working if they don't issue an interim EAD, if that becomes an issue later on (very unlikely that USCIS will figure out you worked during the EAD gap, do you believe they are that efficient?). The worst that could happen is 485 denial. at that time you can explain (to the court if necessary) that it was the USCIS who delayed processing on the case causing the gap in EAD's. BTW, upto 180 days of out of status stay, work without EAD etc is forgiven.
Cheers.
