Capital gains tax for a newbie

Hello,



Question on tax, if I purchase shares for $500 and decide I want out and then sell it for $500 (breaking even) do I need to pay tax?



Also if I buy shares for $500 and my portfolio goes up to $1000 and I decide to sell half to free carry do I pay tax on that even though im selling for only my purchase price...



Thanks for your help.

IB Futures data subscription

Hey everyone,



was wondering what IB data I have to subscribe to which gives me access to SPI, Kospi, STW, Nikkei, ES, YM, CL, GC, DAX, FTSE. On the IB platform it says US Securities and Futures Value Bundle 1, 2, 3, 4 USD10.00. Does this cover the above markets.



I want to connect the data to NJ so I can use it for simulator purposes.



Also instead of streaming live data Im assuming I can record the price action then replay it while I trade?





Thanks in advance

Good internet education sites

Don't think there was already such a thread so I thought I might kick it off.



Apart from 3 million cat pictures, fail compilations, hollywood gossip, sport and .. (and other entertainment) there actually are some great sites that can be invaluable sources of information and knowledge.



For my money I would kick off with



1) Whirlpool.net. This was started up by an 18 year some years ago in protest at Telstras ham fisted internet policies. For my time it is one of the best sites for analysis of internet options. However it also has a huge online community that offers wide ranging ideas on almost any topic. It's certainly one place I go when i want to suss out a potential scam, product or service.



2) On line university courses. I'm currently thoroughly enjoying Professor Jeffrey Sachs course on The Age of Sustainable Development. Very comprehensive and pretty accessible.. Certainly opened my mind to some new ideas.Of course there are plenty of other courses also available both at Columbia University and other places.



Has anyone else got websites that they believe offer quality information/ideas ?

высокодоходные инвестиции

Здравствуй дорогой друг, на связи Андрей Малахов – профессиональный инвестор и финансовый консультант. Предлагаю вам рассмотреть со мной тему высокодоходных инвестиций.

Если Вы занимаетесь бизнесом, то Вы можете ориентироваться на 30 – 40% прибыли в год. Если Вы инвестируете в банк, то можете заработать порядка 15 – 20% годовых, будь то в Вышей национальной валюте, либо в долларах, либо в евро.

С другой стороны сейчас набирает высокую популярность инвестирования в какие-то хайп-проекты, в пирамиды, в памм-счета, причем разные проекты обладают разной эффективностью, разной надежностью и разной прибыльностью.

Вы можете научиться инвестировать в различные высокодоходные инвестиционные проекты. Самыми главными задачами для этого будут:

1. Определить надежность данного проекта. Что бы проверить надежность проекта можно использовать сервис проверки надежности инвестиционной компании – vsic или самостоятельно проконсультироваться у других людей, по поводу надежности компании.

2. Узнать доходность данного проекта. Например 100%, 200% или 300% годовых.

После этого необходимо сравнить возможные риски и возможную доходность в Ваших высокодоходных инвестиционных проектах и посмотреть где идет хорошее соотношение. Например, хорошее соотношение это 1:2, 1:3, 1:4. 1:6 является самым максимальным соотношением, которое может быть.

Если Вы имеете доходность 10% прибыли в месяц, то максимальный риск, который Вы можете себе позволить около 60% - это будет эффективно. Но если Вы имеете 10% прибыли в месяц, а риск будет составлять 100% - это уже не эффективный высокодоходный инструмент.

Basing Stocks

I thought I’d start a new thread on stocks that have been sold off and are now in a period of consolidation (basing) and may be potential candidates to soon resurrect themselves.



There are 2 stocks that are currently clearly in a basing phase that I have on watch. They are GNC and CCL.



Where possible, I look to draw in a downtrend line down from one of the earliest highs. This I have been able to do for CCL. It is the breaking of this line that I look for, not to buy but to indicate that the downtrend, or at least the momentum of the downtrend may be over. Then I look for the basing phase to develop and the longer the basing period all the better. I then look to draw the trendline which is usually a horizontal resistance line establishing the price level which once exceeded marks the commencement of hopefully a new bull phase. The resistance line is fairly clear on the GNC chart, not so clear for CCL.



I am not necessarily looking to buy on any breakout as there could still be a period of choppiness before a good trend gets underway. I would only buy the breakout provided there is an underlying bullish pattern within the base or in the latter stages of the basing period. Alternately, a small micro consolidation just below the resistance level. The best buy is likely to occur with a consolidation pattern just above the breakout level.



The COH chart below, illustrates the points I have made above.

Shaping up nicely to move back up though we are barely past the downtrend line. The exact break out level is not clear but for me it’s $9.40 to $9.50. Based on the nice pattern of movement off the Oct lows you could buy any break that occurs now with a stop below the lows of this month at $9.10. I will play a little conservative by buying half a stake above $9.40 and the remainder, waiting for that consolidation pattern to hopefully develop above any breakout.





GNC

The resistance level is clear but with no underlying pattern to support this breakout off the Dec lows I will wait till one hopefully develops. As a general rule I don’t buy breakouts where there has been a good run up in price without rest. There has already been one false break and a small loss if a trade was taken. That would have been a trade according to my trading strategy. Sometimes a few goes at it are required.





Comments, further observations are welcome.
