"Your Occupation" as listed on the signature page is an often
overlooked item of the tax return. Normally this would read:
- Securities Trader
- Commodities Trader
- Securities & Commodities
Trader
- Trader in Securities
- Trader in Commodities
- Trader in Securities &
Commodities
But what about when you are
not a trader and you do not want the social embarrassment of
"Unemployed" or the boring "Retired" or "Housewife"
listed?
In many cases "Investor" or "Homemaker" or "Childminder"
is an honorable employment to be listed,
Being a "Consultant," of course, is the perennially stated
occupation when you are "between jobs" or otherwise out of work at
the moment.
But what about when you basically do nothing, but want
to sound impressively mysterious when it comes to disclosing just
what it is that you do do? 
For anyone who can at least read
the daily newspaper here we have some of the more creative
