At one point a dealer said "that's your money, sir, pick it up."

The supervision of dealers is delegated to the self-regulatory bodies of the exchanges.

I can do better on low-risk investments, than poor Mike OH does and I don't have to shoo off crack dealers and clean filthy toilets.

I've had it happen another time. 2 drug dealers arguing and suddenly there were guns drawn.

I have heard that you are only allowed to owner finance 2 or 3 houses and still get taxed the normal capital gains rate (on the interest you profit from the sale), anymore than that and the IRS will classify you as a dealer, and you must pay the capital gains on the full sales price of the house, even when you havent received full payment yet.

Look at at dealers.

Buying new cars with cash is great fun, as the dealer personnel just do not believe it until you hand them the check.

I thought they couldn't release the full report except to inspected clients, property managers, mortgage companies, car dealers, etc.

Consider a car dealer, a floor plan (financing 50 cars at some total loan amount) is basically the same thing allowing the replacement of collateral.

Tyler, dealers are probably conforming to the new requirements.
