An individual in USA is a non-resident alien for tax purposes for the whole year. He works for a US corporation in US. He buys stocks under the stock purchase plan of the company and sells it in the same financial year. How should it be taxed, does it become income effectively connected with the trade or should there be a flat 30% tax on it
