Well said. Bravo.

As long as you’re not gloating, I think colleagues and customers would be happy with your success. We each have our own lives to live - when I retired at 58, I was concerned with what colleagues thought. Fast forward four years and their reaction (even though supportive) is meaningless now. I...

Nice story, sweet ending. No need for a pre-nup in that arrangement.

I think the projection outlined by Goldman Sachs yesterday is realistic. Although this article doesn’t mention it, they’ve also lowered their EOY S&P projection from 3,400 to 3,000...

What about raising the capital loss write off from $3,000 to $6,000, $8,000 or your total tax due? This would apply to all taxpayers (not just seniors). It would accelerate credits the federal government would eventually pay out to taxpayers anyway, and is an efficient, immediate (by April...

My sincere condolences. I certainly benefitted from his wisdom. He gave me the confidence to RE four years ago. His contributions to this forum will be missed.

I can share a similar experience, and the outcome may provide comfort for the OP. My SO of approx 2 years moved into my house (about 12 years after I bought it). I was comfortably employed making approximately 2x his salary. I never expected him to cover half the home’s expenses, but he has...

My record has been to keep new cars 10 - 14 years, and when I bought a new hybrid in 2011, I vowed the next car I bought would drive itself. The hybrid Lincoln MKZ has 62k and runs like a charm, but I’m itching to get that driverless car! Still possible in another five years or so, but in the...

Thanks very much bobandsherry. Geron purchase was my ‘play money’, and I’ve hung in this long, so the next few weeks are going to be exciting.

Nice pop for Geron today. I bought a chunk of it a few years ago at $5.12 and am finally in the black again. Can’t find anything to explain why. I’d appreciate any info you can share on it.

Thank you, Audreyh

Thank you, SecondCor.

I’m in the same boat as OP with this fund. Just to be clear, I can offset up to $3,000/yr against all income (stock gains AND ordinary income) or offset complete loss against winners and up to $3,000/yr for ordinary income. If it’s the former, I’ll be writing off $3,000/yr for the rest of my...
