    MSA what's your experience

    Angela, Below is a link to the IRS website on the topic, not sure if you have already visited it. It seems to me that the biggest roadblock is just getting the MSA set up. My best friend is still waiting for his attorney to get back to him. His CPA and insurance broker had no idea which...

    Memory question

    Check on the MSFT website and your other vendor websites before you shuck out 99$ for XP. When I bought it and tried to install it I ended up with about 10-15 comparability issues. I also use tc-2000 and it is the only program I can run at one time without resources being low on my system...

    :D Gone is ok, it is when the wallet goes with them that can get a guy jumpy.

    Beginner over here

    Perhaps the best question to start with is are you making money trading the penny stocks? If so then why change? What to consider is the risks involved with penny stocks. First they are like a girl you take home from the bar, she may be with you that night but gone in the morning...

    State Income Tax - Is it Worth it?

    I tried to post a link, but the IRS site shut me out. But Publication 590 on pages 58 and 59 gives some good examples for Roth withdrawals. I was wrong about the contributions, they come out first. They have 3 examples of someone under 59 1/2 taking withdrawals they may be good if this is...

    How about this. Instead of pimping this guys site like some cheap crack ho, put up your trades PRIOR to your taking them. Just that simple, if you can make people money great some will follow. If not, and I suspect not then we will see mertile math for what it is. CRAP And don't tell me...

    State Income Tax - Is it Worth it?

    I have read some similar numbers from time to time. Figuring the guy could have a 20M dollar house a 1% property tax in a state with no income tax is very possible. Juniper Island is not exactly downtown Beirut from what I understand. My first condo was 50K and I paid a little over 1k in...

    State Income Tax - Is it Worth it?

    The problem is her logic is wrong. The distribution is not qualified if you are not 59 1/2, disabled, a beneficiary or purchasing your first home. Her is a link to the IRS website. http://www.irs.gov/file/display/0,,i1%3D52%26genericId%3D16220,00.html Quote from topic 428 Ira...

    Elliott wave trading

    It seems to me that Robert Prechter (sp) was in to elliot waves in the 70s. He still has a newsletter so I would do a few key word searches on his name and you should find quite a bit. He was on CNBC (6 months?) back and excerpts of his letter appear in Barrons from time to time.

    State Income Tax - Is it Worth it?

    I rolled it over when they came out in 96, and just made my last tax payment this past year. There is no question in my mind that they are the best deal around. I have no confidence that taxes will go DOWN in my lifetime, so taxfree is good. To the extent that my effective tax rate Federal...

    State Income Tax - Is it Worth it?

    Well as a man with many former vises and little self control I think Nevada would be a bad choice. Myrtle Beach has a restaurant called Dick's Last Resort, the staff is paid to be mean to the customers. Personally, I think it would be a great stress reliever for me to go and be rude to some...

    intuition

    Sabena, Just for discussion, how does one develop sound intuition without the use of logic? It seems to me that things that I now consider intuition came from situations in the past positive/negative that I now know how to deal with via intuition. If I were presented with a situation that...

    State Income Tax - Is it Worth it?

    Cash, I am giving some serious consideration to moving. In NC I ended up paying about 6.8% in State Taxes which is way too much. Even to move to SC it would drop to 2% or so. The other thing I am giving some consideration to is trading in my IRA. I had thought about this from time to...

    Looking for FUNDING/only serious/split profits

    Joshua I don't see much problem in getting you funding, however having a chimp as a pet is illegal in the US. So to keep things legal like I will need you to set him up as a foreign entity in perhaps Liberia cause I want some of those collector coins they keep pressing. When this is...

    Looking for FUNDING/only serious/split profits

    Before you do that, Fly to Vegas, flash it for the pit boss, get a room some drinks and a prostitute or two. At least that way you will have some GOOD memories of your money. Seriously, anyone who manages money with a PROVEN track record is not going to accept 25k. In most cases you have to...

    does anyone know how to play brcd

    Chisox, This is not my type of play, but I will take a crack for you. The trend is down on this stock, which means that you want to either be short or out of the stock. I guess the next issue is how you feel about the market as a whole. Technically I see many things that are lining up...

    Off shore trading

    P2, The two best moves you could make are to MOVE to a tax free state. Nevada corps(for the sole purpose of tax evasion) are illegal and have no case law supporting them so don't go that route. The post about the IRA was on the money. To the extent that you have the resources in the IRA it...

    ethical or no - what do you think?

    Leaves me guessing. If I have a car I like, why would I trade it in? If I had a car I didn't like would throwing in some floor mats and a pair of fuzzy dice compel me to buy a car I know nothing about? I think for the large part if your getting the job done (in any business) word tends...

    Looking for FUNDING/only serious/split profits

    First of all, this is an all too typical post on the web. I have a new system, blah blah blah. Can't provide any details, blah blah blah. But what concerns me the most is the "out of money comment" I can't think of a single business person who makes business decisions that are sound...
