    I doubt there’s a real chance at Trump eliminating/reducing capital gains or on stock trades, but for things like Pltr it’s tough to calculate how much and when to sell given it’s been rumored as a possibility. Last year sold a good bit of capital gains just to reset the cost basis on a big...

    Agreed. He’s the best, but I also think the car is really tough to find the window of peak operation; making his teammates gap a bit more misleading than something like the Racing Bull (a car with the reputation of being easier to find the sweet spot). I don’t think the peak of the Red Bull is...

    I think Im getting like 5.6 - 6 on the bonds. My average client is 74 so they’re cool with it. I was always scared of individual bonds until I started doing it a couple years ago and it’s not too bad to sort with Fidelity’s fixed income section

    When I say 50/50 it’s actually 50 stocks, 50 treasury, mm, 1-2 year individual bonds, structured bank notes, and zero bond funds. So I call the other 50 ‘fixed’ even though it’s really just not stocks. I just hold the bonds to duration and keep the maturities < 2 years so they can be more...

    I have to reset my cost basis anyway and may as well do it in chunks while we know the capital gains are capped at 20% selling around 40% of my after tax etfs, which will suck to pay taxes on next year, but should help me long term. selling 100% of IRA money and plan to DCA or my version of...

    I dislike DeNiro, but he played a good charismatic creepazoid in Cape Fear. I like Reynolds, but when I saw ‘Waiting’ as a choice on Prime the other day I was thinking ‘got damn, he’s been the same dude for a while now..’

    I have interacted with the troglodytes you speak of over the years. The common theme seems to be disability income. If you have decided on that life path, then it would make sense to play something like WoW or EQ. Unless you’re really into hunting or fishing, what else are you going to do...

    I’ve never used it and have played many servers. I have seen many things you people would not believe. I’ve seen warpers tag mobs on the shoulder of Orion. the key is to identify dumb bottle necks and be at peace with the time you put into them or don’t.

    Just went to a tax seminar and they had some interesting points. If you’re going to index in the nq account, then why not buy around 30-50 of the top positions so you can tax harvest every month and get about the same returns. I know the answer is bc then you have to actually do it, but yeah...

    In the 60s and 70s they remade a bunch of black n white movies and had some success, so maybe Hollywoods always been creatively lazy? Think of all the movies that’ll be remade when they shoot full VR movies. back to the crow, is this dude just becoming the default hire for freaky makeup roles?
