http://www.beathead.co.uk offers dj equipment for sale, currently payment options are limited to Paypal and Google Checkout. Would you be more likely to purchase if there was the option of card payments and/or pay monthly finance?
No, with paypal you know it’s secure and they can’t steal your money. I usually look for paypal first, then a card payment option.
Calculation of the probability that call option on the stock will expire into money. We assume that return on the stock follows Geometric Brownian motion (GMB).

I was granted stock options while I was employed by the Australian subsidiary of a US company. These options have vested. I recently transfered to the US headquarters, and sold some of these options granted to me in AU.
My question, should I be paying tax the sale of these options to the IRS or to the Australian tax office?
You probably have to list them on both countries tax returns. The IRS will give you a foreign tax credit (form 1116) if you are taxed in both countries.
You earned them while in Australia, so it’s probably income on the Oz return.
The US uses the logic that if you exercise the options and immediately sell the stock that you have a disqualifying disposition and the spread (FMV – option price) will be added to your W-2. When you file the tax return, don’t forget to ALSO do a schedule D (FMV – FMV+commissions to get a small loss from the fees charged to cash them). If you omit the schedule D, you get an incredibly nasty letter from the IRS in about 12-18 months. (The letter assumes the basis is zero.)
Don’t waste your ammo, invest it. The way to do that is doing a Nutnfancy-type “RunNGun” with your friends and family. While benchrest, tin can shooting , and paper punching have their place and are fun, these days I’m a fan of our heart pumping, competitive RunNGuns. With the right folks in attendance, these course are a blast to shoot and provide stress-oriented training that can transfer to other weapon platforms. TNP RunNGun courses are generally 100 yards in length with various stages, frequently the last being a transition to pistol to simulate malfunctions or ammo exhaustion. You can use just about any gun in the RunNGun but .22 rifles are still fun and are inexpensive to shoot. I still like a .22 bolt-equipped AR-15 for training realism ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC5UbgB_tfE ) but I also remain a big fan of a properly equipped Ruger 10/22. Here I discuss this POU and how I modified a 10/22 into be the DuraCoated (”DCoat”) Ruger TAPCO 10/22 RNG (Run And Gun). It has been designed to be a faster firing, reliable, lightweight, adjustable, easily slung, night-capable, ergonomic, and cool looking 10/22 platform. Indeed our field testing of the gun confirmed the achievement of these goals. The Tapco Intrafuse stock is excellent: strong, slim in profile, adequate and stable Picatinny railing, great pistol grip, good traction, and has excellent ergos (and LOP adjustment). Other good options are available as well to include a cost saving modification to the factory Ruger stock. This TAPCO Intrafuse also has a small polymer Streamlight Tactical Illuminator mount was mounted by me on the side for light accommodation and the setup is shown with the Ergo “Pop Bottle” vertical grip (#4253 in Coyote Brown). The Model A30 ADCO red dot rights on top to provide fast, precise aiming capability day or night, rain or shine. Its 1.5 MOA dot is preferential to me. A John Masen-brand short 10/22 flash suppressor was chosen for visual balance and a cool factor. A “KZ FAST” brand single point sling utilizes the included TAPCO mount making the gun fast in transition. Receiver mods include a Clark Custom trigger, Christie’s Auto Bolt Release, and Tactical Innovations red bolt buffer (ext mag release is stock Ruger). The stock Ruger barrel was retained for better reliability and still exhibits excellent accuracy. Several coats of Tactical Coyote Brown DuraCoat are applied to the 10/22, producing a very tough, cool, and functional monochromatic exterior which blends into our desert environment (the FDE TAPCO stock was also shot for color consistency). The result is an impressive RunNGun .22 option that is fast, ergonomic, fun, and cool. It has risen to the level of one of my all time favorite .22s. Look to future RunNGun outings and you will see this DCoat TAPCO putting the smack down on our target plates in the hands of TNP players. /////////////////// Nutnfancy Likeability Scale: 11 out of 10 (all brands and models subject to change of course) ////////////// TWO PART VIDEO INTO ONE FOR CONVENIENCE

I recently opened an account with TradeKing, and I was wondering what an options trade is. Also, why would people want to sell options rather than sell the stock at its market value?
Thanks.
I do a little bit of options writing.
Take company XYZ trading at 20$. I buy 100 shares, one options contract represents 100 shares. I think the stock could move up a little bit, but I think maybe the company will move sideways. I can write a covered call, covered means I own the stock and am writing against the stock I own. I think it might get up to $21.50. I write a call contract with a strike price of $22 for maybe $0.75 ( thats 0.75 * 100 = $75). I buy $2000 worth of stock and I can collect $75 a month while it is doing nothing. The stock stay under my strike price, the contract expires and I keep the stock and $75.
Or, the stock could go up to say $23, they beat expectations on an earnings call or something like that. By selling that contract I have sold the right for them to buy that stock at $22. I paid $2000, collect $75 on the option contract and was forced to sell my 100 shares for $2200. I keep the $75 and collect the $2200 and make a total profit before tax and fees of $275.
Or, the stock could go down to say $18. Since I sold that $75 call contract I’ve off-set my loss my $75 and cut my loss to $125 instead of $200. You are limiting your upside and cushioning the downside.
Some of the bigger funds do it to free up cash. They can lock in a purchase price for $1 a share and use their cash elsewhere. It is a leveraged position.
Additional note: If your looking to just straight out trade options. Keep an eye on the Delta and Theta.
Delta is the the change in the value of the option relative to the underlying stock price. If you buy and a call contract with a Delta of 0.25 for every dollar the stock moves up the value of the contract goes up $0.25.
Theta is the time decay value a Theta of 0.05 means that every days the value of the contract losses $0.05. So be careful high theta and high delta can cost you big money in a hurry.
