"Markets need losers." We know. We know. Do you know how we know? Every third page you say it. It is getting old and tired. Or, a lack of understanding of a topic. The big picture. Here's why. A very good financial strategy was discussed. Now either it did not fit your ideology or it hit too close to home. Taxes are going up. Or just maybe this would not affect you. Or you truly don't get it. Either way, trying to participate, and we get comments about doom and gloom, losers, etc. Taxes is one of the greatest invaders of wealth. It's great if you can make money in the market, but those who manage the taxes and use strategies to either mitigate and defer, will always win at the end of the day. I read your posts and just see anger. Or how do I go one up on the last poster. And when pushed in a corner, cut and paste some garbage, or just resort to name calling. Almost every post is the same. Good luck tomorrow when the market opens!

Take it easy, wow calm down. I can see the steam building on your monitor as you furiously pound out your latest diatribe! No problems, can see real clearly!!
It just seems to be very negative and if somebody doesn't stand with you, or challenges a position, your internet bully side takes over and berates members. Just go back and look a bit.
The post regarding taking gains to pay the tax now, instead of later and possibly paying double was an excellent strategy, perfectly in the realm of a stock market post. It is just the consequence we must face in the current environment. Oh..............it's not your thread, maybe that realization needs to sink in. And the thread I would start would get closed real quickly, so not at this time! :)
Trying to be civil with you. You get slapped on a regular basis, just trying keep on topic and hopefully continue.
Boogey man?? Dude, plenty of help available. Again, have a good evening and good luck with tomorrow's market!

Finally, please pray for the hostages left behind!! It is real.

Smart! And many folks doing the same. Advice is to now pick those long term investments again, as we should see some sensible leadership along with more favorable tax treatment in the next 4-5 years. The more folks that can be educated, the less tax revenue which will make the upcoming tax debacle look like even more of a failure. 2021 would show a one year "pop" and hopefully revenue would go down significantly. Thanks for doing your part!! :)

Maybe I was not clear enough, and that's why I got the stalker laugh face! :)

So pay your cap gain taxes and half of what could be the projected amount, now in 2021. Perfect time for the long hold period type investor. Hold new investments for 4-5 years and hopefully the US will have a different, um, different style of leadership and get the taxes back down to where it makes sense to take gains again (if it can truly be raised). Lots of opposition even from inside the group. Shot term style investing will stay the same, in and out at ordinary income rates. Not what the majority of ordinary folks do with their investments. I took a bunch of gains already for 2021 and will continue throughout the remainder of the year. And will "seed" investments that will need to grow over time and hopefully wait out the tax debacle we MAY currently face. I do not have a crystal ball, but prefer to plan and at least use strategies to keep more of the money that I earn instead of having it taken from me for some really poor reasons.

No doom and gloom........unless you want to give away your hard earned money to others beside your family!!
 
Holy Crap, didn't meant to trigger a flame war. I missed selling the stock in question when it hit an all-time high back in 2018. I didn't flinch, just set the sell order at $3.01 lower than that all-time high. It had a brief run up in late August and tripped my sell order as it went up that day just $0.50 over my sell order.

I was very pleased, continuing my strategy of "I've made a lot of money selling a bit low."

He's pretty damn easy to get going....I know all his "trigger" words lol!!!

I decided he can stay for the comedy relief and all!!!!

His new "trigger" word is "TAXES"..........Record debt the last 4 years doesn't seem to "upset" him for some reason. Not sure why something like capital gains (which he never had) would bother him...strange....
 
got some good info on a buyout in the next two weeks....................

gonna buy some cheap lotto CALLS

THERE IS ONLY ONE PLAN IN THIS GAME....buy low and sell high....take profits and take em often

I know plenty of guys who held long term to avoid taxes...they avoided them alright because their stock went down.....there are exceptions of course

Mutual funds are for long term..individual stocks for me are trading vehicles to get on and off of (with a very few exceptions)......if you do something else ...hey that's great!!!
