NEW YORK CITY - After considering the costs and regulations associated with LLC registration in certain states, it has been made clear that corporate tax rates play a vital role in the long term health of the firm. While month to month gains would be taxed at a Federal 15% rate, many dividends and options contract premiums would be taxed as corporate income.

With proprietary funds preventing us from collecting a management fee from external investors, keeping overhead costs well funded is hard enough. Upgrading to a different brokerage in December, margin lending costs, and the possibility of using a prime broker in Q1 2027, all add to the pressure of already small reserves.

Darringer Capital Investments will continue to trade with personal money as of now.
