    Giving money to relatives -- Question about Taxes

    Max there may be other people more qualified to respond on this. The way I personally see things, an adult child who moves back into the parental home couldn't possibly be held to have received a gift if the reason for doing so is to look after a parent whose health isn't too good. In any...

    Giving money to relatives -- Question about Taxes

    Aphie, if you are talking about a large sum I think I know the solution. I suggested this solution once to a woman when she moaned that she could not pass money onto her daughter without gift tax being incurred. She didn't however take the advice as it would have meant that she would have...

    Giving money to relatives -- Question about Taxes

    >>You could buy real estate, boats, cars, etc. in your name and lease it to family/friends for a $1 per year. << Max, I don't think it would work as logically it could be held that the transaction is not at arm's length and therefore the difference between the true and correct market rental...

    Middle East - Balanced discussion

    Middle East - Balanced discussion Balanced discussion means NO hate posts please. My question is : 'Will there ever be any peace without the removal and destruction of one or the other proup ?' I note that Israel has just lifted closure of the Palestinian West Bank and Gaza Strip areas...

    Mouse - mind connection

    Lindq is absolutely right. That is why imitating someone else by adopting that person's system usually leads to losses. The reason being that one lacks the confidence, the faith, in the system and as a consequence when some losses appear (as they inevitably will) we give up. Back...

    Gelding Wins Kentucky Derby

    The owner wouldn't be able to obtain registration because the breeders (a large and influential industry group) would feel under threat and block any such move. Their reasoning would be that their multi million dollar investment would become worth less and less. A horse is able to cover...

    Mouse - mind connection

    If you use 5 minute data have you bothered to see whether the selections are trending in the same direction on the daily and weekly charts ? You are talking about some points in your favour. Over how long a time period did you test and how many trades did you come up with over that period...

    A top banker said "the American people are too stupid..." do you agree :D

    Guys, this time the article isn't an unlikely aliens story but factual and deserving of merit. A bank lends out moneys based on their capital. If it receives deposits it then can again lend out against such deposits and if such a loan is shown as a credit in one's cheque account the bank...

    Gelding Wins Kentucky Derby

    >>In a way, I agree with you.. but [I still want to continue my gripe] << And if someone's reputation gets dirtied in the process Sammy, who cares ? I just cannot help myself, I am a blabbermouth I know. What is wrong with admitting that your words were perhaps a little unfair Sammy ...

    Mouse - mind connection

    Without knowing what the size of your trading account is I would say that the reason for your experiences is one of the following : 1. the small size of your bank is influencing your decision making process unduly (in which case it would be imperative to get some more money together before...

    Entering or exiting a position while holding large sizes

    AK15, I don't quite understand. If you want out what is wrong with hitting the offer (or offers) ? To try to chisel out a better price brings in itself an increased risk with it. Does anyone see this different ? freealways

    Gelding Wins Kentucky Derby

    Sorry, I live elsewhere so I have no idea of the form of this or any other horse racing in the USA. Nor do I have any idea whether a battery was used or not. What I do know is that if there is such suspicion then the jockey would have been caught either because he would be found with the...

    Cost for coaching??

    >>Seems hard to have much legal recourse if someone you pay to coach, just takes your money and you never hear from him again<< That would be a good lesson, essential to any would be trader. Someon mentioned that a trainee, asking all sorts of silly questions, would, unavoidably so, be...

    Gelding Wins Kentucky Derby

    A voltage device making you run faster ? Nah, it may merely keep a horse's mind on the job and thus get a better run out of him. Anyway what I would be trying would be to see whether we could be successful in cloning him. Then again that probably would soon be outlawed by the racing...

    Reporting results to family/partner

    When I put some trades on for my wife I found that, when the trades went against me, that instead of cutting my losses I started to rationalise that the price would turn around in my favour again and so I just sat on my hands. It did turn around eventually, though not until after I had...

    Phil Helmuth

    That reminds me of something which happened to me many many years ago. I was hanging out with a group of friends and poker was one of the card games we played for money. I am sure I was the worst player of the lot. Then I found a book titled something like 'How to win poker and win. I...

    Are there any good trading styles out there

    Brandonf, judging from the number of posts you have written you've been around a bit. I wonder however whether you are trading the turtles method yourself ? I once say about a 1 year's period of trades in a magazine. Unfortunately I don't have that article anymore. From memory (even...

    True lies about Fibonacci

    Well Harry, that was a very nice compliment to you by Electric Savant. And, to mention another subject, well worthy of a seperate thread, has anybody read a book titled 'The Holographic Universe' by Michael Talbot ? In it an idea, originating from a physicist called Bohm, is discussed...
