The only way many of my land developer friends live virtually tax free is to keep properties fully financed and live of off their net worth as loans are not taxed. Then they just take an interest expense deduction.

Metooxx, I thought you still had to pay taxes from the bahamas still?

Agreed, the vix hasn't been here since jan 10th just before it dropped and the market is fairly complacent. We'll see if we can stay above the 200 day ma.

How are you calculating the probabilities of hitting the break even violation for you?

You folks are making me home sick, raised in Kailua/Kaneohe. Good luck in HI.
