    A real quandary....how to spend it all

    Let’s see I just took a trip to Maui and San Fran over the holiday, that was 10 grand. The new Honda passport is out and they only have the elite model in stock and they only charge list, so let’s call it 50 grand. How about sending a kid to a big time college. You think you have money till you...

    What about MLPs

    Good point, if you want an investment that you have to keep till you die or else you face tax hell buy an MLP. Oh buy they way, Kinder Morgan dissolved their MLP structure because they believed the normal stock dividend structure would allow them to provide superior value to the shareholders...

    What about MLPs

    I had a large gain in kinder Morgan as well, basically it was a triple and paid a good dividend. However, once you sell there is a large tax bite. My tax bill was very large. For me, going forward I'm going to stick with regular index funds or stocks taxed at 15% on long term gains. Also, your...

    Being forced out

    Vanguard has a group that can handle your transfer, we just transferred my mother in laws assets to our account due to her passing. I'd transfer things as is and then do a financial plan with them, in some cases it is free in other cases a few hundred dollars. Vanguard was and is a non profit...

    Being forced out

    Great point on the financial advisor, open an account with vanguard and transfer everything in there. Go with index funds you can save 1 to 2 percent on 3 million that can be 60 k per year. Financial advisors love the alternative asset class now and that just means they will stick you with...

    Auto Service $ - Is It Just Me?

    Isn't it sad that at least in the flemington area of nj, that you have car dealers who consistently recommend un needed service. My wife of course goes to the dealer sometimes and comes back with a proposal of things to do. We then bring this to my independent repair shop and get their take...
