Can I do stock trading while having an H-1B status?

This is a VERY frequently asked question.  There is no reason that you can not do stock trading in your leisure time as long as you are still working for your petitioning employer under the same terms and conditions of the H-1B petition.  Disclaimer: this is not an INS' official opinion on this issue.
