I use Libra. Works great. I imagine super fancy stuff may not work, but for m9st people it’s probably fine. You do have to get used to new menus etc. but the help is decent.

I bought into an oil partnership in September 2014. Remember what happened in October 2014? Sometimes you can’t do anything but laugh at your own timing. While you don’t get the initial write of a high quality mlp can be a decent invetsmen where most income is tax deferred these days...

My view is that dst is not a good option. They are inflexible, have many layers of fees that are anything but transparent and generally make a huge commission for whoever is selling them. I’ll say it. DSTs suck. :) I assume you know all about 1031. It’s a good option assuming and that’s a...

Most likely I am having to head up north for a few days around the 25th now so likely won’t be able to come. Have fun everyone!

DC follows federal std deduction. Dont know if your income was agi or ti??? DC charges 1/2 property taxes for seniors. DE exempts 12.5k of pension income. These calculators are oversimplified.

Lisbon year round now? Was just there in November, absolutely loved loved loved it. Hope you are well! :)

Thanks for the DM Omni...!! Did not see this new thread The 25th works for me. The 18th, have company flying into town and will most likely be with them

Just seeing this now. I literally just did this math about same age in high tax state. I am married with about 20k+ in unsubsidized price of aca We get Medicaid up to 200% fpl here, and my income floor from divvies etc is probably over 40k anyway. When I sampled aca subsidy and state tax...

To this point, that was my big surprise that I did not think thru in advance. If tips real rates rose, the tips “fund” would lose value. I would buy new or resale individual tips here, but I would not do a tips fund again. I don’t expect the real tips rate to go much higher from here, so at...

Thanks. Kind of hard after Credit Swiss to know how protected everything really is.

Anyone keep a list of banking preferreds that are cumulative? With the banking stresses ongoing I would imagine some of these could be attractive, but want to hedge my risk on divvys being paid.

Thanks Omni! Good times :). Until next year. By the way, esp appreciated that you reached out to us all directly this year so we did not miss the thread!

Thanks For updating us a few years later. Your posts reflect a road only a small minority travel and it’s good to hear a perspective from those who don’t wait until things are nearly certain to live out their dreams.

In! Would love to come. Like previous locations, but ok with driving a bit further. Coming from Bradenton beach.

Anyone else noticed how much more expensive cruises are now than in 2019? Crazy much more! I speculate the reason is all the fcc credits being used and prices are artificially inflated until they are used up? Any other thoughts?

Best thing to do is look at the duration premium you receive. If it’s enough for for it. But betting on future direction of rates is a fools errand.

The amount of demand destruction to kill prices rather than lower them is more than a typical recession would generate. So unless one is thinking economic collapse, these companies still have a good future financially. Some of these companies are trading at just a few times cash flow...

Once this is over consider getting a MacBook. The new ones are super fast run most all the regular sw and you will have far fewer issues. I was a tech windows guy since it was invented. I made the leap in 2014. 1 day to get used to it and more productive after one week. Once I went mac I...

As long as we are talking golf swing, I will ask another question: I have gotten to the point when just a few rounds of golf give me tennis elbow in my left arm (tendon pain where forearm connects to elbow's outside (I am RH swing). I have tried resting it for 12 months (took all of a year...

One way to think of energy valuation is "how much of the S&P 500 is energy". Right now even with the run up it is at historically low levels. I think there is room for it to move higher. I have a chart, but not a link, and I don't think I can add an attachment.

While your refiners have had a run of late, earning will blow out FWD estimates in 2Q and 3Q. There is definitely more upside IMHO. This is a free report one analyst who was on CNBC authored: https://www.sankeyresearch.com/2022/05/18/the-value-in-scarcity-us-refining/ you may have to register...

Try meetup.com pick a few things and see if you make some connections....

If people keep their politics out of their investing decisions and just look at valuations current vs historic, Supply situation and elasticity Demand situation and elasticity All things point broadly to commodities and energy in particular. You MUST due some DD, can't just target the...

FINALLY.....Got ahead of where I would have been if I had not spent almost a year in mostly cash like assets.... My non real estate assets are up over25% YTD. (Moved heavily into energy and related commodities in early 2021). (I will scale back out into other industries / markets....energy has...
