. Mr. Bernstein says he has never seen such an extreme bet on economic catastrophe. ”This portfolio is a half-step away from a cellar-full of canned goods and nine-millimeter rounds,” he says.  -- The question is, will he keep to this strategy if he becomes president?
Look, I'm not an expert in what assets DB has in transportation companies, or to what industries DB's banks lend money. DB is a multinational corporation that probably has its fingers in hundreds of markets and industries. All I am trying to say is that DB is largely disinterested. Just because DB invests marginally in transportation and logistics does not mean that it should be trusted as a significantly invested (and informed) party, any more than I should be trusted as an interested informed party in regards to technology sector because I own shares of a mutual fund that owns shares of Apple and Alphabet. Regardless of the hearsay component, which is inherently untrustworthy, DB is not a market player such that its word should be taken as anything other than with a grain of salt.
"Under the Lanham Act, the issue is whether the use of a name will have a ""likelihood of confusion"" with a registered trademark. Courts look at similarities in the marks but also realize that consumers are not necessarily looking at side by side comparisons to try to determine the source of the product.   Krogers appears to be arguing that a consumer goes to the store and see ""preferred selection"" and thinks, ""oh, that's the brand that has the cheap price"" so they buy it. Krogers spent a lot of time and money to create that initial impression in the consumer's mind.  It looks like they did a survey by an expert to confirm that consumers are getting the brands confused. If that's truly the case, it's probably worth the investment to try to protect their territory. Obviously that is what Kroger has decided to do.  It will be an interesting case to follow. But I will probably watch Netflix instead."
The problem you're talking about can be handled the same way now until better alternatives appear. I'm simply talking about improving the existing infrastructure to carry out these trades. Instead of holding a number on charles schwab account, you hold a token which is the same as a stock certificate of ownership.
Exactly.  Stock is a liquid asset and is almost like cash.     By that reasoning, a Democratic Governor could threaten to permanently close down Trump properties due to labour, health and safety, and food safety laws and that is all OK because it does matter until the property is actually sold off when the lost is actualised.    Trump came into office as supposedly pro-business but this is third world style abuse.   Trump does not give one damn about protecting consumers from a supposed monopoly.   This is purely a political move.
"This is fraud, the related legal code is ""11 USC 548 - Fraudulent transfers and obligations""; also see the wiki page for Fraudulent Conveyance in the United States.  Highly suggest cutting off contact with this person, and speaking with a lawyer as soon as possible to make sure you have not already broken the law."
"So... is Kroger angry with the use of a word that starts with ""P"" and the word ""Selection?""  Back in the day, I thought the Kirkland Signature branding was kind of kitchy, but it's almost taken it's place as an actual good value brand for me."
Banks have electronic money counters so the order really doesn't matter. When I make a cash deposit that's large, I usually just put it in an envelope and hand it over.
Right, so once again, engineering problem -- Pension funds could be treated differently, and pension fund experts could be consulted as to how to design the taxation system such that pension fund recipients aren't able to cheat the idle tax laws if their expected benefit/share of the fund is larger than certain cutoff values.
It's a good answer. I was alluding to cryptocurrency such as bitcoin which was a pretty genius invention (blockchain and mining) to solve the honesty problem (counterparty risk) you outlined when there's no trusted middleman to help keep people honest. Sounds like a dodgy cat though!
Apocalyptic like MAD MAX, huh? Well, no one so far has mentioned Gasoline, not paper gasoline futures but the real thing in barrels or tankers. Guns, ammo, sure... but if everyone on the ground is shooting each other I'd prefer an ultralight helicopter.  You all have watched MAD MAX, right? On a more serious note, there is a country in the South Pacific that never saw fighting in world war 2 due to its remoteness, but is large and developed enough to be agriculturally pretty much self sufficient, and with a  low population has plenty of space.  Might be good to squirrel away something down there...
I don't think that you totally get it.  From the article: &gt;What if you created a website that printed out emails, texts or photos from your computer, Facebook or Instagram and mailed them for you in the plain white envelopes these institutions favored?
"US-Australian tax treaty limits the tax the US can levy on interest payments to Australian residents at 10%. However, that is the ""worst"" situation. There are several exempted situations which your specific example may fall into where you wouldn't need to deal with the US taxes at all. I suggest contacting a tax accountant proficient in that treaty and the Australian tax law. You will still be obviously paying taxes in Australia."
You can use Yahoo! Finance to pull this information in my use. It is listed under Key Statistics -> Dividends & Splits. For example here is Exxon Mobile (XOM): Dividend Payout Information
If you do this, you own a stock worth $1, with a basis of $2. The loss doesn't get realized until the shares are sold. Of course, we hope you see the stock increase above that price, else, why do this?
Yes. Wash rules are only for losses.
Wash sale applies. If you purchase shares within 30 days of that Feb 3 sell date, the wash sale kicks in, preventing the loss on that sale, and deferring it into the new shares.
Sometimes they lose money for a few years and then become the infrastructure that runs a third of the internet. Amazon does not let fear of failure stop them, they invest in growth with their cash. This is how Bezos thinks - how do we build the future, not how can I avoid tax I do need to make a disclaimer here - there could be special tax treatment of classic cars that makes my example not work. Also classic cars may not appreciate in value. I don’t know anything about classic cars, I just picked a politically neutral thing to put in my story and made some assumptions to illustrate how capital gains work. My story is definitely how stocks work, and probably cars, but I just want to point out that I don’t know shit about car collecting.
The market maker will always take it off your hands. Just enter a market sell order. It will cost you a commission to pull the loss into this year. But that's it.
Your three options are: Options 2 and 3 are obviously identical (other than transaction costs), so if you want to keep the stock, go for option 1, otherwise, go for option 3 since you have the same effect as option 2 with no transaction costs.  The loss will likely also offset some of the other short term gains you mentioned.
Nominal. What you say is true, but I'm guessing it would be too complicated to modelate. Plus, a shareholder of a very large company would not necessarily experience said loss if he/she sells the stock in small chunks at a time.
In the case you propose, a taxable windfall, your best hope is to marry someone who has his/her own loss of about the same amount. This advice would work if your gain is a 10 bagger, as you suggest, but not for a lottery. In the dot com bubble, I heard of more than one couple that got married under these conditions. As far as other gains, it would be tough to contrive a situation that would give you such a tax offset without taking on a huge risk, far greater that the $133K in tax you might save.
You sold all shares? The potential wash sale effect goes away after 30 days from the dividend date. Selling all shares of a stock where a wash existed effectively negates the wash and you can take the loss.
Yes, the net effect is zero. If you own zero shares by Nov 30, for example, and don't buy any more shares by 12/31, the year is done, and nothing left to account for.
"You should check with your broker for details, but you can generally specify which ""lot"" you are selling.  where I've seen it, that's done by concurrently sending a ""letter of instruction"" documenting your choice of lot concurrent with the sale, but different brokers may handle this differently.  I would think this should work for the case that you describe. (In addition, the default rule used by your broker is ""probably"" first-in-first-out, which will do what you want here.) Note that this may come into play even in a margin account to the extent that you might want to specify a lot in order to obtain (or set yourself up for later benefit of) favorable tax treatment under the long-term capital gains rules"
1 lot is 100 shares on London stock exchange
Price for the latest transaction. If the stock is selling for  $898.7 means that the stock is currently trading for  $898.7, and it will be your ask price of stock if you purchase currently.
"Okay, so...  &gt; Lifting* the offer (hit bids, lift offers). And I suppose that's a stategy, albeit a somewhat simple one. Passive routing strategies differ from firm to firm and algo to algo. What is your customer going to think if you bid up a new price level only for the stock to rally completely away from it?  I mean if you have an open order for more than 10 times the amount currently offered with a limit above the offer, and you havent gotten filled on the bid, what can you do but lift the offer and try to be first at the next price level up? At least you would have gotten some at the price they quoted, or are they fill or kill?  &gt; ""Bidding it up to attract sellers"" sounds an awful lot like spoofing, just a heads up. Sure though, if you want to tighten a spread or create new levels with aggressive passive liquidity, that is a strategy. The same caveats as I mentioned above apply.  Just to be clear, 'aggressively adding passive liquidity' is the more apt way to put it - I'm talking about when you actually want to get filled on those bids but you're having trouble finding sellers.  Could you give me an example of what you might consider passive or aggressive, just for scale - would a mkt impact of .10% raise any eyebrows? How do you gauge fair value or does that matter less to you than just accumulating/selling what you can for what you were asked to?  &gt; Anyway, if market impact isn't an issue for the customer, sure, take liquidity until you're filled. Don't forget about getting good size done in the opening and closing auctions (MOO/MOC). If you're too passive you risk the market moving away from you and pissing off the customer. If you're too aggressive you risk moving the market too much and pissing off the customer.  So then is the question more 'how motivated is the buyer or seller?'  I'm glad you bring up the MOO/MOC, are there certain securities that don't have much of a market in those auctions?  Trying to suss out how a large firm can hold a position in some of the less popular names with next to no liquidity and little in the way of dark pool, auction, block sales, etc."
Some brokers have a number of shares they can offer their customers, but the small guy will get 100, not as many as they'd like. In the Tech bubble of the late 90's I was able to buy in to many IPOs, but the written deal from the broker is that you could not sell for 30 days or you'd be restricted from IPO purchases for the next 90. No matter what the stock opened at, there were a fair number of stocks thay were below IPO issue price after 30 days had passed. I haven't started looking at IPOs since the tech flameout, but had I gotten in to LinkedIn it would have been at that $45 price. Let's see if it stays at these levels after 30 days.  Edit - This is the exact cut/paste from my broker's site :  Selling IPO Shares: While XXX customers are always free to sell shares purchased in a public offering at any time, short holding periods of less than 31 calendar days will be a factor in determining whether XXX allocates you shares in future public offerings. Accordingly, if you sell IPO shares purchased in a public offering within 30 calendar days of such purchase, you will be restricted from participating in initial and secondary public offerings through XXX for a period of 3 months.  (I deleted the broker name) I honestly don't know if I'd have gotten any LI shares. Next interesting one is Pandora.
"There's an expression, ""stock prices have no memory."" Apple trades at about $115. Why would I carry my shares at anything but $115 even though I paid say $75 a share, while you just bought it at $115?  The only difference, perhaps, is that if I hold them in a non retirement account, I might track the net I'd have, post tax."
Rebates are offered on exchange to promote liquidity offers so that aggressive buy/sell can be done, otherwise a sizable sell/buy would crash the price of a stock with no liquidity, it is perfectly normal for a firm to attempt look for the rebate if the customer is willing to wait longer for the execution to happen. The Author clearly has no freaking idea what the hell he is talking about.
In India the only way to short a stock is using F&O which I personally find to be sufficient for any shorting needs. However, Futures can be generally sold for upto 3 months but options have more choices which are even upto 5 years you can buy a put of a longer duration and when you want to do buy-back, you can directly sell the same option by squaring-off the trade before expiry date. You generally get approximately the same profit as shorting but you get to limit your risk.
"Consider the futures market. Traders buy and sell gold futures, but very few contracts, relatively speaking, result in delivery. The contracts are sold, and ""Open interest"" dwindles to near zero most months as the final date approaches. The seller buys back his short position, the buyer sells off his longs.  When I own a call, and am 'winning,' say the option that cost me $1 is now worth $2, I'd rather sell that option for even $1.95 than to buy 100 shares of a $148 stock. The punchline is that very few option buyers actually hope to own the stock in the end. Just like the futures, open interest falls as expiration approaches."
&gt; And when you see IPOs of tech stocks with prices exponentially greater than their revenues, or derivatives that when unravelled are nothing but air, or intraday fits and runs that seem to be tied to nothing in particular, then it all starts to look like nothing but manipulation.  These have absolutely nothing to do with HFT. Why are you talking about them?
"To report backdoor Roth IRA contributions in TurboTax, you have to fill in two completely separate places: After you fill out #1, your ""taxes"" will seem to increase, but go back down when you fill out #2, if you fill it out correctly. You have to make sure to answer all the questions literally, in order to correctly calculate the basis from the previous year. Unfortunately, this is one of the things that's easier to do by hand (just filling out Form 8606) than using one of these software products. Backdoor Roth IRA is one of those things ""the average Joe"" doesn't do, so the software product doesn't optimize for it."
"Don't worry about it.  The State doesn't care about rounding error.  All you need to do is say ""We charge our prices with tax included"" - you know, like carnivals and movie theaters.   Then follow the procedures your state specifies for computing reportable tax.  Quite likely it wants your pre-tax sales total for the reporting period. To get that, total up your gross sales that you collected, and divide by (1 + tax rate).  Just like DJClayworth says, except do it on total sales instead of per-item.  If you need to do the split per-transaction for Quickbooks or something, that's annoying.  What Quickbooks says will be pennies off the method I describe above.  The state don't care as long as it's just pennies, or in their favor."
Its a new way of computing sales tax. Wikipedia has a nice article on this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FairTax
&gt; you were referring to tax-deferred accounts and I was referring to Roths.  Okay, so you've admitted mistake \#1.  We're making progress...  &gt; So paying the tax as regular income RATHER than LTCG tax is not a concern.  Ah!  You're an autist, we're getting somewhere here!  &gt; Well, those are the only alternatives to a tax-deferred account, so...  Which is the *only* thing either I or TFA mentioned.  But hey, we haven't thrown SPIAs into the mix yet, do you have a totally off-topic opinion on them you'd like to air?  &gt; No it doesn't.  I honestly have no snappy comeback to this one.  I *can*, however, give you some advice that you'll find useful throughout your adult life - When you make a mistake, the sooner you admit it, the better.  No one will think less of you for making a simple error; when you double-down for three+ rounds...  And I'm pretty comfortable *I'm* not the one doubling-down, merely calling, here.
I wrote a small Excel-based bookkeeping system that handles three things: income, expenses, and tax (including VAT, which you Americans can rename GST).  Download it here.
From my perspective I suspect that if the government use the paid price, people will start to buy at very low nominal prices in order to pay less taxes, and will repay the seller by other means.
If it was me, I would organize something along these lines.  in large part because down the road when it comes time to purge stuff like small receipts, utility bills etc, you'll be doing it per year, at the 7 year point or something similar. Year first Under that major categories such as Mortgage, Utilities, Credit, Major Purchases, Home Improvement, Other I'd do a monthly breakdown for Other since it's likely to have a lot of little stuff, and bulking it up by month helps to organize it.  But I'd not bother with that for the other items, since there's going to be limited items in each one. If you are scanning stuff on a regular basis, and using a decent naming convention for the receipts, then you could easily sort by date, or name, within any of the larger categories to see for example, all the electric bills. in order. You might also want to look at a cloud service such as DOXO as an alternative to storing this stuff at home (they also work with a number of companies to do electronic billing etc)  In terms of retention, if you are a homeowner, save anything related to your mortgage and anything that goes towards the house, even little maintenance stuff, and any improvements, as all of that goes against the cost basis of the house when you sell.  Generally, after 7 years, you are unlikely to need anything in the way of small receipts, utility bills, etc.   in any case, be sure you have regular backups offsite, either by storing stuff in the cloud such as doxo, or via a regular backup service such as carbonite.  you don't want to lose all your records to a house fire, natural disaster, or having your computer stolen etc.
Lots of business do work and buy products for their customers then invoice them later think of landscapers or IT professionals. They keep track of the work and products on post-its they stick on their desks.

They take a stream of events in the form of input (stocking shelves, unloading trucks) and output (sales, theft, waste). A lot of places set this up using a database design technique called Event Sourcing, but oftentimes you'll get something terrible like a giant state-based system that are a massive pain to debug and refactor.  My money is on the second one for most large grocers that have computer systems. They were probably written in the 80's, and are glued and rubber banded together as well.  They also, somehow, require some totally unrelated, sensitive information to function because of a hair brained feature request from a decade ago that wasn't questioned and built hastily. And that's why we need all employees ID'd by SSN, and you need that SSN ID to add new inventory to your shelves because it had to be packed by *somebody*. Now you can't look at what's in stock without running a 45 second report (which is just a pdf of a really big view that someone set up 5 years ago and nobody wants to touch) that can kill the production database if you run it during the daytime hours, so you'll need to email a sysadmin to do that for you.  What I meant by all this is that anything simple will be made disgusting and maddening the moment it enters the real world, including inventory management systems.
Australian Goods and Services Tax is charged on the sale amount. Whatever internal accounting you do before billing the customer is of no interest to the Australian Tax Office.
You should total the items first, to get $3.00, then add the tax, then round up/down accordingly.  Your two examples above don't offer this option, even though your second example arrives at the same result.  In your first example, a number of items taxed one at a time might result in many .006 results which would round to .01. A long enough list of items would result in an error of many cents depending how many items there are. Totaling first then applying tax results in your saving .004 or losing .005 cents maximum due to rounding.  See A Guide to Sales and Use Tax which is a document put out by the Massachusetts Dept of Revenue. In the chart for tax, it shows that $1.09 is taxed at five cents, but at 5%, it would be 5.45. So, at least for this state, I believe I correctly stated the rounding process.
Probably, but it's almost certain that the legal and tax opinions really on assumptions of how the business was operated (without independent verification) and it sounds like they may have not actually been operating in the manner required for the tax structure to work.
It sounds like the items shipped directly from the vendor need to be recorded into your system when the order is confirmed, that way cost of goods sold and revenue don't get lost. You'll have a record of re-orders and cancels and other such things too.
Yeah I agree. What Cat did was likely illegal, but a lot of that was due to incompetence. If done properly, they could have ended up in the gray range where they could potentially justify their tax position to the IRS.   To the larger point though, it just seems wasteful to play these games. I understand everyone does it and that it's part of the system, it just all seems a bit ridiculous and I wonder if there's a simpler solution that could benefit all stakeholders. Governments get similar revenues  without dealing with ridiculous complexities of tax avoidance schemes, companies are more efficient, and then efficiency or revenue gains can be passed onto workers. My main worry however, is that these gains would be passed onto executive bonuses instead.
You will need to look at the 27.5 year depreciation table from the IRS. It tells you how you will be able to write off the first year. It depends on which month you had the unit ready to rent. Note that that it might be a different month from when you moved, or when the first tenant moved in. Your list is pretty good. You can also claim some travel expenses or mileage related to the unit. Also keep track of any other expenses such as switching the water bill to the new renter, or postage.  If you use Turbo tax, not the least expensive version, it can be a big help to get started and to remember how much to depreciate each year.
