ddxz, that is not good advice IMHO, best speak to your accountant about your position rather than listen to people on hot copper. I don't think ddxz is right. I think anyone with FGE should talk to a professional and obtain correct advice. On face value a trader will be better off than an investor as an investor can only claim the tax loss against another capital gain.
That said, justifying a position as a trader is never easy!
