    How best to structure portfolio?

    Bob Brinker just called it quits! Marketimer is gone!

    I have been getting his news letter for over 20 years. He has been my security blanket at times when I felt like panic selling. He has in the past years been perfect on his bottom calling. I guess it is time for me to fly alone. Thanks Bob

    2022 1099-INT for a closed Estate. What to do?

    I'm in the same boat(final tax return filed last year) I got a 1099 for 3600 dollars. I googled if I have to do a tax return and it was below the amount.
