The Futures Rundown 83: Unexpected Performance

The Futures Rundown 77: The Equity Battle Heats Up

Q: What are your thoughts on hype around crypto and hype-driven market moves?
She expresses a stance against hype, emphasizing fundamentals and math over social-media-driven moves, with examples like GameStop illustrating how hype can move markets before reality catches up.
The Futures Rundown 78: Aging Crude Rally and Flesh-Eating Parasites!!!
Q: What does Carley think about equities going 23.5k soon and the idea of extended hours in options trading?
Carley notes that brokerages and exchanges can profit from more trading hours, but warns about liquidity risks, potential algos-driven volatility, and the possibility of stops being overrun if overnight sessions aren't properly supported.
The Futures Rundown 47: One-Year Anniversary Spectacular
Q: Can you please explain the whole 60-40 thing with futures?
The 60-40 rule (Section 1256) taxes 60% of futures gains at the long-term capital gains rate and 40% at the ordinary income rate, regardless of how long you held the contract. This results in a lower overall tax bill for intraday futures traders, since the long-term portion is taxed at a typically lower rate. There are caveats, such as end-of-year mark-to-market for contracts and limits on how many years a Section 1256 loss can be carried; consulting a tax professional is advised.
