Where the new trader joes is going in, things like that. 

Would I be filing as "Wholesale Trade, Real estate/rentals leasing, education, information, professional/technical services, or "other"?

Regarding the stock market- While we like the returns in our portfolio we always hedge our bets and only purchase in round lots; then use a straddle strategy to sell covered puts and calls to day traders.

This is an REI forum and guess what the traders on another forum have to say about real estate? 

Maybe this is the trader in me seeing this as an arbitrage. 

But, if you don't do this for a living, it isn't a material percentage of your taxable income, you don't expect to do it again any time soon, it's probably not a trader or business. 

But do you have enough knowledge/experience to be on the other side of a currency bet against, say, a currency-trader like George Soros? 

And I guess you'll have to figure out if your in it for long term investing for retirement/wealth, or if you're gonna try to be a day trader.

It's going to be an interesting couple of years.....esp with the absolute necessities in life; monthly cell phone costs, Netflix, that auto pmt/lease & Whole Foods/Trader Joe groceries; costing way more than a months rent.

I used to live in an area that has a Trader Joes, Starbucks and all kinds of other great restaurants, bars a retail.
