Though I have been tempted, I have never read Tesser's book.  It always
seemed to promise more than I thought it could probably deliver, so I
don't know the details of the Trader Status.  But wouldn't some traders
accomplish the same thing by incorporating sub S and registering as a
CTA?  Then managing a proprietary account.  All expenses are through the
business.  There are some extra costs and paperwork, so it isn't for
everyone, but there are some added benefits too.
Any thoughts?
