I don't believe in letting the tax tail wag the investing dog. You have a stock you no longer wish to hold for whatever reason? Sell it. But to sell a loser, hoping it doesn't rise by the time you wish to re-buy it in 30 days is folly.  This effort may gain you $50 if done right. No, it's not worth it either way.
I worked for Waffle House (same sort of employee pool) for a good while, they had horrible retention rate for cooks. But in the last few years they started paying a lot better ($14.50 an hour at top rate) now they have people doing the work of what used to take 2.
Seriously.  Nobody wants another exclusive platform at this point. So all it can be is another open platform to play games on. Something like one of those Razor Nvidia thingamagigs. An android console was already tried multiple times and failed, nothing revolutionary. Just another cash grab at the Atari name. Microsoft barely broke into the console market after dumping billions into the console. No one is going to dump billions into Atari at this point. Even Facebook after buying occulus is very careful with it right now.
Indeed! I actually travel to the US a lot, so that convo might actually happen ;) Which state do you live in?  I fear you are right when it comes to waging war. I believe the modern world is now in a post-war state. Physical war is no longer feasible among the great powers, and so the battleground is now dominated by a literal war of ideas.  I think the Russians are great manipulators - but there needs to be someone out there for them to manipulate. And while the Russians are the ones watering the garden, the seeds of extremism was sown by the elites. Those who were willing to condemn entire peoples to poverty and ignorance in the name of wealth.  In the end, I think the elite are fundamentally short sighted. The revolution will come for them too, no matter which side wins. I just hope we will manage to create a revolution that leaves everyone else better off in the future.  Thank you, and best of luck to you too! Know that you have brothers and sisters around the world who fight beside you.
I'm assuming that you don't have any technical background to assess the validity of the story.  I can tell you that the wells that are in question are an entirely different animal than deep gas bearing shales.  Those wells were less than 3,000' deep and wells are no longer fracced using the chemicals found.
Wait, if everyone isn't buying things and saving money instead, who is left to get loans to buy things at higher rates? Banks don't wag the consumer's tail. Banks will make loads more money on their variable rate loans which will hurt a lot of people. Until wages rise to incentivize buying things, loan interest rates need to be low. Only way to spur the economy is to get more money in the hands of the spenders. We keep giving it to the hoarders.
The banks themselves were over-leveraged, sometimes at a rate of 50-1, and any little hiccup in the payment stream from borrowers caused massive losses in the portfolios which were magnified by this leveraging. This is why you should view leverage with great caution. It is very, very tempting, but also fraught with extreme peril if you don't know what you're getting into or don't have the wherewithal to manage it if anything should go wrong. In real estate, I could use the leverage of my present cash reserves to buy a bigger property with the intent of de-leveraging once something else I have on the market sells. But that's only a wise play if I am certain I can unwind the leveraged position reasonably soon. Seriously, know what you're doing before you try anything like this! Too many people have been shipwrecked by not understanding the pitfalls of leverage, simply because they're too enamored by the profits they think they can make. Be careful, my friend."
A great American company on its deathbed for really no good reason beyond executive greed and their eye solely on short term profits. They had goodwill out the wazoo and multiple generations who grew up buying their products and they squandered it all.
LOL!!!!   Israel as a country exists since 1200BC, before there were almost any countries in the whole world, huge contributions to the whole world ever since, and today it's a model for how to run a free, democratic, succesful country in the whole region. Huge loss to the world if anything happens to Israel.  North Korea... well, nobody will miss it if it is wiped off the face of the earth, including its own people who live in a hell called N Korea. Much better world without N Korea.
I definitely get that it's bigger than him. I probably shouldn't try explaining things anymore...I feel kinda bad that I may have given someone the wrong idea. I based what I heard on the news, which I now see was a bad choice without the whole picture.
I was waffling on whether this article was interesting or just painfully obvious to anyone who knows a goddamn thing about marketing, until...  &gt; ...the ShamWow! guy’s success (if any), came from his comical arrest when he beat up a prostitute.
DFW [reports](http://wdfw.wa.gov/ais/salmo_salar/) show 94% of the fish caught have empty stomachs.  While there have been juvenile sightings in rivers, no 'wild' adult Atlantic Salmon have been detected from previous escapes (one was double this escape).  As late as 1981, there were efforts to establish Atlantic Salmon colonies in the Pacific.  Those efforts failed.  So, most likely, it's a temporary thing.
One possibility is to ask RBC to lend you some money (or more specifically, to lend you some more money): an overdraft, a personal loan, or whatever. To discuss this you should to talk to your personal banker (not a teller), probably by appointment: to explain why you want it, and how and when you expect repay it. You might (I don't know) say that you want the loan (or some of the loan) to pay off the Visa, and/or for the travel. If you've only just arrived in Canada, however, then I don't see why they should want to lend it to you (i.e. why they should think you're a good credit risk). Is there anyone else (e.g. an immigration sponsor or parent or employer) who might co-sign (a.k.a. guarantee) the loan? I have never had this issue before with any other credit cards but I got an RBC Visa in Canada In some countries (not Canada) a Visa behaves more like a debit card, i.e. you can only spend money you have in the account.
You claim that IQ accurately measures intelligence and problem solving skills and it's supposed to measure those abilities in a way that is independent of education.  Therefore if you're right blacks ate stupider than whites. Stop waffling, stop prevaticating and own that.  I fully understand how genetics work. I'm trying to tell you that there are two choices here. African Americans are stupider than Caucasians of there's a problem with the test.  Your own studies claim there is no epigenetic basis for the point disparity. They don't argue the test is perfect you do. Own you opinions.
&gt; your monthly bill   Herein lies the confusion that I've witnessed among many commenters, yourself included.  This isn't about *your* data.  It isn't about *your* outlet.  It's about the competing use of fixed infrastructure to deliver data across the country.  I use highways as an example because everybody gets those.  This isn't about your driveway and its connection to the highway, or even about making sure that anybody can drive up your street and into your driveway.  This is about who has the priority to occupy the fixed amount of highway bandwidth that exists.  Right now, a company can flood that fixed infrastructure at relatively little marginal cost to themselves.  It's akin to a company that sends out so many trucks that at peak times, it occupies 37% of the highway flow (which, by the way, is Netflix's peak bandwidth occupancy).  Is that fair?  Is it right?  Netflix's service is obviously popular; it's normal business to assume that they can shoulder higher costs due to their higher demand.  That you may have to pay more for Netflix service is as much a function of *Netflix's business model* as it is of the ISP.  Netflix doesn't have to pass its costs on to you; if it chooses to it's on them - not Comcast.
"No one is quite sure what happened (yet).  Speculation includes: The interesting thing is that Procter & Gamble stock got hammered, as did Accenture.  Both of which are fairly stable companies, that didn't make any major announcements, and aren't really connected to the current financial instability in Greece.  So, there is no reason for there stock prices to have gone crazy like that.  This points to some kind of screw up, and not a regular market force. Apparently, the trades involved in this event are going to be canceled. Edit #1: One thing that can contribute to an event like this is automatic selling triggered by stop loss orders.  Say someone at Citi makes a mistake and sells too much of a stock.  That drives the stock price below a certain threshold.  Computers that were pre-programmed to sell at that point start doing their job.  Now the price goes even lower.  More stop-loss orders get triggered.  Things start to snowball.  Since it's all done by computer these days something like this can happen in seconds.  All the humans are left scratching their heads. (No idea if that's what actually happened.) Edit #2: IEEE Spectrum has a pretty concise article on the topic.  It also includes some links to follow. Edit #3 (05/14/2010): Reuters is now reporting that a trader at Waddell & Reed triggered all of this, but not through any wrongdoing. Edit #4 (05/18/2010): Waddell & Reed claims they didn't do it.  The House Financial Services Subcommittee investigated, but they couldn't find a ""smoking gun"".  I think at this point, people have pretty much given up trying to figure out what happened. Edit #5 (07/14/2010): The SEC still has no idea.  I'm giving up. :-)"
You're risking an insurance hiccup in the event of an incident, and passengers should also make sure that their driver has their app online throughout the entire trip, as well as making sure the driver's pic of him/her and his/her car match the profile you see on the app. As for safety, I've yet to hear from a passenger they felt they were ever in immediate danger. Did they get a creepy vibe from one of their drivers? Sure, not everyone is a social butterfly, and there has been an inundation of ex-cab drivers going over to Uber (which is good, cause' the service is getting pro drivers with experience, but could prove detrimental, since they're gonna have a hard time competing with Lyft on the charisma side of things). However, I've already numerous accounts from young women in Hollywood who are now refusing to call for a yellow cab or taxis on Hollywood Blvd and Sunset and the surrounding areas due to unwelcome sexual advances by drivers looking to take advantage of their sometimes solitary and inebriated drive home. It's heartwarming and great to hear whenever you drop one of these young women off at their places and they thank you for being both professional, courteous, welcoming, and above all else, trustworthy, all while paying a fraction of the cost of what a cab would normally run at that time of night. **MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE (IN SUMMARY)** I'm literally having the time of my life. My other job requires me to interact with humanity, pick its brain, and then express those experiences to everyone else in an invigorating, positive, and inspirational manner. What better way to do it--while earning some decent money--than driving around for Uber and Lyft. These services are, without a doubt, revolutionary, and are being used and employed by both young and old, men and women, struggling students, and strategically utilized by incredibly wealthy and successful Hollywood types and investment bankers. It's cheap, reliable, and very fun too. It's also bringing back the long lost art of human interaction and conversation back into our daily lives.
These are increasingly popping up at Universities and other types of large campuses where space allocation is an important and often touchy subject between departments and how they utilize their assigned space.  I suspect to see this grow considerably as many large campuses with space concerns will start looking at this kind of technology as a way to better manage their facilities.  Another variation in use is stereoscopic sensors that track room occupancy in real time, something particularly useful for managing shared meeting spaces that are being improperly utilized.
They tried, but as government workers their laziness took over.  I went to the post office to get my passport shit sorted. I waited 10 minutes for someone to waddle out from back. I didn't even wait for them to show up, I left because the sign told me I didn't have the right stuff anyway.
"It's correct.   Be sure of your personal opportunity cost and not that you're letting the tax tail wag the dog just to score ""tax free"".  Your upside is $3,700 (single) or $7,000 (married) in taxes saved until you're out of the 0% zone.  Is that worth not receiving an income? Even if your savings are such that you don't need to work for income for a fiscal year, how would this affect the rest of your career and lifetime total earning prospects?  Now, maybe: Otherwise, I'd hope you have solid contacts in your network who won't be fazed by a resume gap and be delighted to have a position open for you in 2019 (and won't give you the ""mother returning to the workforce"" treatment in salary negotiations)."
I am in a very similar situation. My wife and I made decent money in the early to mid-2000's but handled the tax end of the business VERY poorly. However for the last 5 years we've been close to poverty and owing the IRS close to 60K because of the accumulated penalty and interest. On top of that, they started garnishing my wife's paycheck putting ourselves further in the whole. Finally got the courage to call them and explain the situation and was classified as a 'CNC' or Can Not Collect. Basically, there is nothing they can take from us and removed the garnish from my wife's check almost immediately. Now they will review our returns yearly and if we do start making real money again, we'll have to set up a payment agreement at that time. Also there is a 10 year limitation on them being able to collect from you so every year that passes removes another year of the past due taxes. Call them, explain your situation and see what happens. I was floored at how understanding they were and completed the paperwork over the phone that determined us to be CNC.

"They don't have to explain ""why that is,"" just that there's a full sigma difference in their measurements for a metric that is also correlated across the board with nearly all socioeconomic factors (which also happen to correlate with race, hm).  Hilariously misinterpreting the abstract of the first link doesn't disprove the dozens of quality sources I gave you for your incorrect claim, it just proves your poor reading comprehension."
A large part of it is because the union pay scales include things like education level. They tend to be equivalent to any terminal masters program you'd find in other subjects - including MBA. ""Take these classes - part time and summers over the next 3 years, and if you pass them all, we give you a piece of paper that says ""Masters of Education - Reading"" or similar. It comes down to something like 45 credit hours with a focus on something. It's also a result of the ""requirement for continuing education"" to maintain Teaching licenses/certifications. And yeah, it has created a lot of ""Underwater Basket Weaving Experts"" -- the problem is that they ACTUALLY *SINCERELY* BELIEVE that they have some significant ""expertise""... even though it can *not* be shown in their results (if it could, they would be ""all about"" merit pay). &gt;I actually doubt that. It's going to come down to the sets of materials they have available for teaching. Some work, some don't. The structure of the system discourages improvisation, unfortunately, and the teachers often feel that they have their hands tied. Young, beginning teachers feel they have their hands tied -- those types either leave teaching, or they succumb to the system. The teacher in question (with the ""Masters"" in ""Reading"") succumbed to the system long, long ago. And that teacher's whole concern was really just a ""brand X"" versus ""brand Y"" thing -- the teacher knows ""brand X"" and so can (and probably does) ""teach"" it while half-asleep. Most long tenure teachers tend to get in a comfortable ""rut"" -- comfortable in no small because it is not only familiar, but also because it then requires little work to update their curricula or prepare anything new -- disrupting that (i.e. switching from ""brand X"" to ""brand Y"" is therefore nearly always met with either opposition or grumbling &amp; grudging compliance).
You realize he has been saying this for years? He knows the system is broken because he uses the broken parts of the system to his advantage every day to make more money. He has very clearly explained how he makes so much money and just as clearly explained multiple ways in which he could be stopped from doing so.   He isn't spreading some lie about helping the system through tax breaks, he is explaining how we can get more money out of him and everyone like him and help stop the accumulation of ridiculous amounts of wealth that benefit nobody.
"How do financial derivatives like futures help in price discovery? From what I understand, the prices of futures are decided after the parties ""discover"" the price they think is appropriate for the underlying asset after some time. Wouldn't taking a future's price and then valuating an asset like a cart in front of a horse or the tail wagging the dog? Please link all that you want to and correct me everywhere."
Lol. What on earth are you talking about? I was not saying waaa poor janitor. I was saying in NY $112k is solidly middle class salary because janitors and cops and nurses and firemen and construction laborers make that salary. 529 plans help these typically middle class occupations to put money aside for college.
A post in Tradeking's forums, very old post, but with an interesting piece of data from the OCC, states that 35% of the options expire worthless, and 48% are bought or sold before expiration to close the position - only 17% of the contracts are actually exercised! (http://community.tradeking.com/members/optionsguy/blogs/11260-what-percentage-of-options-get-exercised) A few other things to keep in mind: certain stocks have ""mini options contracts"", that would correspond to a lot of 10 shares of stock. These contracts are usually not very liquid, though, so you might not get great prices when opening/closing positions you said in a comment, ""I cannot use this strategy to buy stocks like GOOGL""; if the reason is because 100*GOOGL is too much to fit in your buying power, that's a pretty big risk - the assignment could result in a margin call! if margin call is not really your concern, but your concern is more like the risk of holding 100 shares of GOOGL, you can help manage that by buying some lower strike Puts (that have smaller absolute delta than your Put), or selling some calls against your short put. Both strategies, while very different, will effectively reduce your delta exposure. You'd get 100 deltas from the 100 shares of GOOGL, but you'd get some negative deltas by holding the lower strike Put, or by writing the higher strike Call. So as the stock moves around, your account value would move less than the exposure equivalent to 100 shares of stock."
Part of the reason things are so ramped up here is that we'll be under the total occlusion, and historically we have over an 85% chance of clear and sunny skies, making it ideal. A lot of people are banking on decent weather here: personally (it's in the mid 60s here today) I'm hoping for snow just to fuck with people.
As a thought experiment I suppose we can ask where dividends came from and what would be different if they never existed. The VOC or Dutch East India Companywas the first to IPO, sell shares and also have a dividend.   There had been trade entrepot before the VOC, the bulk cog (type of sea-going ship) trade in the Hanseatic League, but the VOC innovation was to pool capital to build giant spice freighters - more expensive than a merchant partnership could likely finance (and stand to lose at sea) on their own but more efficient than the cogs and focused on a trade good with more value.  The Dutch Republic became rich by this capital formed to pursue high value trade. Without dividends this wouldn't have been an innovation in seventeenth century Europe and enterprises would be only as large as say the contemporary merchant family networks of Venice could finance.  So there could be large partnerships, family businesses and debt financed ventures but no corporations as such.
Trump is more credible than all the fake-news media: CNN, NYT, WaPo, etc.  **He's way way way more credible than Hillary who cheat on debate questions given to her by fake-news CNN! If my son cheated on a test in 1st grade like her, he will be expelled from school. Think for a second just about this.**
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre27.pdf if you are in the US Look at section 805 and 805 about how they may contact you and what they are and aren't allowed to do. You can simply send a Certified Mail, Return Receipt (CMRR) letter explaining you have no part of it, and that they are not allowed to contact you by any means other than in writing from this point forward. Then you can either put return to sender on the letters (it costs them money) or open them and delete anything you don't need.
"Holy fuck do you seriously not understand that I was trying to understand your perspective before I explained an alternative? Do you really find it offensive when people ask you questions before presenting a solution?   Do you have such a limited attention span that you forgot I began the discussion by saying ""I'm happy to answer your question if you will first answer mine"", then tried to obtain clarity in your answer by saying ""Is it fair to say that you don't believe that ""only taxes can provide these things"", but you are simply unaware of how anything other than taxes can provide these things?""   You seriously look like an asshole when you claim that asking questions to understand your perspective is ""not offer[ing] an alternative"" when I *started the discussion* by telling you I'd offer an alternative *after I understood what you believe*."
