This is sort of akin to the "giraffe in the refrigerator" quiz in another thread. I mean what's wrong with this picture? The students attend MIT (in MA) and travel all the way to LV?? So, what's wrong with Atlantic City? Not only is it closer but, from what I've been able to glean, there is...

Did you use the regular installment method or the annualized income installment method? There are quite a few taxpayers who do not receive income evenly throughout the tax year and use the annualized method to reduce one or more of their estimated tax payments. This method only requires your...

Generally, your futures trades will be initially reported on Form 6781 (60% LT, 40% ST) and then carried over to Form 1040 Sch D. Your capital loss carryforwards (ST and LT) are reported on Sch D and offset gains from futures transactions......again, generally.

2003 Quarterly ES due dates: 1st quarter: April 15th 2nd quarter: June 16th 3rd quarter: September 15th 4th quarter: January 15th Note: no need to remit the January payment if your return is filed by Feb 2, 2004 and the entire balance is paid with your return.

including, it would seem, a lot of folks at Andersen....................(and you'd think they would know better than to try swimming across that river when the animal meeting was NOT in session).

i have never understood why people named "richard" are called "dick." Originally, I believe "Richard" was shortened to "Rick". Given the penchant for rhyming words several hundred years ago, "Dick" evolved from "Rick". do we call girls named "michelle," "pussy?" What about girls named...

Yeah, yeah............that's what happens when the Viagra module on one of those things fails.

Not sure that's accurate. Generally, a performance is considered “public” if the performance is at a place open to the public or at any place where a substantial number of persons outside a normal circle of family and social acquaintances is gathered. Playing a CD (or the radio, for that...

Me...... Oh wait......"hottest", "finance", "woman"....... Sorry, I'm none of those.

Hey, I've lived in Chicago nearly all of my life and am a diehard Bears fan. But, what is this? If you're looking for someone to argue that the Bears are NOT the WORST team in the NFL, I strongly suspect you'll have to keep looking. In any event, you're not going to get an argument from me to...

I can empathize. Personally, I hate the word, "word".

Not much. I received it from IB and have read (skimming some parts) the thing. I'd be hard pressed to recommend the book to anyone who is not taking Harris' "Introduction to Markets" (or whatever it's called) course; in which case the book is probably required anyway. In short, not much...

Christ, is this ever the truth or what? All of the goods and services (particularly the latter) I purchase regularly have gone through the roof. My monthly cable bill, for example, is simply insane and I don't have any premium channels beyond Disney and HBO. I don't even want to discuss my...

That's a good idea, but I probably wasn't being clear. My point was that it's real easy to screw up when signing up for GK through Money. The first option users are presented with during the process is as follows: "I want to import Microsoft Money Portfolio starting with the [drop down box]...

You're correct; they made it easier to use both products together and that is a good thing. Further, Money Premium includes a free one-year subscription to GK. However, there is a limit of 125 "transactions". The problem is users have the ability to "import" their Money portfolios into GK...
