Underrated comment. Isn't this more like 800 to 60k after taxes?

I haven't tried option trading yet. Are taxes worse with options? Or are you just exaggerating cap gains tax?

Always overestimate taxes so I can pay myself a bonus after taxes are done.

Yeah and if you make enough, make sure you pay them quarterly or they fine you.

Short term cap gains doesn’t matter if options or shares if held for less than a year

Gains on options or shares held less than a year are short term capital gains.

You belong here.

Options and other short term trades <1yr i believe are treated as short term capital gains, which are taxed the same as your regular employment income. So, they're not 'worse' with options than with day trading or other non long term investments.

Overrated comment, the hookers hit different at 60 and by then the 30k in taxes you saved will only net you a few bonus hookers.
