astral and pjv:
I am going to try your fancy footwork buying and selling the same stock at the same time.
Is it correct that I should do this in separate accounts so that my broker doesn't catch on?
I expect that I will have no taxable income from these trades because the gains should equal the losses and I can deduct the losses from the commissions against my interest income from CDs.
Maybe I will just think about this over the weekend. I am not sure I have it correct. Would either of you two expert "market makers" like to manage some money for me buying and selling the same stock at the same time?
