\ finally someone with some common sence. most of your big companies are paying tax, but most corps are small corps. i have a few friends who have like 3 corps each for apartments and small businesses.

seriously doom and gloom allways here on ET, if its not about how the world is going to end, or how the usa is finished, or every company is going bankrupt.. what he fails to mention it is that that 1 foreclosure per every 464 houses is only about or about 2 TENTHS of 1% or .00215 this...

its a sec rule. or at least what i was told by 2 diffrent prop firms
