Wash Sale rule with multiple brokerage accounts?

The rules apply to all your accounts and also to the accounts of relatives.  So you can not use an account of a spouse or child to get around the rules.

you must have separate accounts because the account is your own and each of you can have different beneficiaries\n\njay cpa

The minimum amount means, your broker will not let you open an account, unless you have their required amount of money in your account. \nLike if you were to open a checking account with a bank and only deposit $10 in it. Most likely, you wouldn't be using it much.\n---If a broker requires a minimum of $2500, with only $500 they don't think you'll be making many trades and that's less money for them to make on commissions. With only $500 the maintenance fees and paperwork needed to keep your account open isn't worth their bother.\n---No matter what amount of money is in your account, you can buy shares of stock at any price. As long as you have that amount of money in your account.\nWhen they require a minimum amount in your account, that can be in money and the price value of any securities (stock shares) you have in your account.

you need to set up two accounts \n\n1- Trust Account (actual money in the account) - Bank Account (separate from operating account)\n2- Trust account payable (your liabilities on the security deposits)- Liabilities\n\nThese two accounts should always be equal\n\nWhen writing Checks and Deposits, do so out of the Trust account and mark it as affecting The Trust Account Payables account.  \n\nIf doing journal entries you must debit one account and credit the other depending on whether you are taking money in or letting money out.\n\nThis will keep your equity equal because as you increase your bank account you are also increasing your liabilities.

Yes, just set up a brokerage account on-line or in person.  Try E-Trade or something similar.   You can do it!

Simply Track seems to work pretty good. It will handle wash sales correctly too. Only thing is sometimes it wont match lots correctly say if you have multiple accounts, but you can fix it easily manually. It's free for 30 days. Then if you want it to remain free, go into your BIOS when you start your computer and change the system date back a year. Shhhhhh, secret. Enjoy!

The brokers catagorize their clients.  You have been catagorized as not allowed to sell naked options.  It is that simple.  I had the same problem and quite frankly it made me very unhappy.  If you have your heart set on that strategy, try Optionsxpress.  They might be more understanding.

You have to add in any expenses you have to the basis of the stock (what you paid for it). It does not matter what you make. If you pd 1$ per share and paid a broker .50 per share and when you sell it for 2$ per share your profit is only .50. I hope this helps. Also you report that on schedule D remember your expenses are added to the cost

"Trading account" is probably referring to stock trading account.  There are lots of places to open a stock trading account, for instance etrade.  The point is to buy and sell shares of company stock (partial ownership in companies).  It can be a gamble, so you better do a fair amount of research before throwing down money on any specific stock.

I'm not aware of any limits.  You can buy or sell as many as you want.  In some developed markets if you buy more than approx 30% of the stock you can be forced to make an offer for the remaining 70%.

Check with a broker that has multiple outlets for writing new business, possibly with a surplus & excess line insurer, or Lloyds of London.  Many of the larger companies have suspended binding authority in the state of Florida due to all the hurricains.  Best of luck to you.

Yes, you can but as everyone mentioned there are rules. Its called bid retraction.\n\nFTY: before entering a legally binding agreement you might want to read the rules so you don't get yourself into trouble. :) friendly suggestion only.

According to government regulations, you need not start a demat account for selling shares less than 500 numbers. But the condition is that there must be a buyer who is ready to take your whole 50 shares at the agreed price.\n\nIf you have a demat account, you will not face this difficulty. you can sell your shares partly too.\n\nFor trying to sell your shares without demat account, approach various brokers.\n\nBut my advise is to start a demat  account

You now have 2 call options (200 shares) if it's a 2 for 1 split.  Works the same as a stock split.  More stock lower price.

Probably you may want to list it on the Web.\n\nIf it is not a one-shot situation: as in you are renting-out units, consider building your own site. A resource for this  is: http://selling-a-service.first411.com\n\nSorry - but you need to be more specific in your question so i took the liberty of sharing 2 possible options.\n\nHope this helps you. Good Luck!
