    Sure, as long as it takes at least 20 seconds

    No gains yet you can harvest against that carry forward? Also, in this case you're not losing the capital loss, just deferring it. Inflation does mean this will translate to a slightly lower deduction, but short of a catastrophic loss, I would hope you could use these to do annual tax harvesting of winners for 30 days and clear it out. I still have plenty of unrealized loss to take, probably 7x my unrealized gain, along with the loss I'm already showing. I'll get some gain over the years, but I doubt that I will ever pay capital gains taxes again.

    Oh, that lion from the front is one of the funniest things ever. I liked the comment "maybe the lion just looked like that"

    The marriage tax has lessened at the bottom. When I first checked 20 years ago, a couple making 20k each would have paid about $2k more married than single. I don't think it will be much of a factor these days with a combined income under maybe $150k. By the time you bump into AMT, it is up to several thousand extra. All you have to do is look at the tax brackets -- the $ at which you hit each higher level isn't 2x for married, it is under that. An extra kick in my case is that my wife and I are each carrying forward capital losses -- single we could each deduct $3k/year = $6k total. Married, just $3k total.

    If you and your innie each had substantial income, your IRS marriage tax will exceed that $3k. About double that in my case.

    Buying Congressmen, not supporting them because of views they already have.

    You don't pay attention very well. She wanted to exit, she was just having trouble getting her leg into position.

    While you're there, buy a wingsuit. What could go wrong? Hold my wingsuit and watch me open this beer!

    To the onlooker, it looks like a left and two rights, but it is actually a right and two lefts.

    Don't get into a face off with a naked man.

    I'm no fan of guns, but I have absolutely no problem with anyone plugging someone who has invaded their home, even if it isn't necessary to protect themselves. e.g. if they perp is merely carting off worldly goods. This case is unfortunate, but that's just unfortunate.

    Thanks for showing how Bush took a good situation from Clinton and made a mess out of it by the end of his two terms. Even though the average, 2002-2009 was lower, in January 2009, Bush handed Obama annual spending at a rate of 24.9 percent of gross domestic product. Total spending this year, fiscal year 2012, is expected to be 23.4 percent of GDP. So, even in the poor economy and while cutting taxes, under Obama spending has decreased as a percent of GDP.

    Probably because they admired Reagan's work as president of a labor union. That's why a friend of mine was named after him.

    Were you paying matching funds for the 401k? If so, you are a rare breed these days. I've never had an employer match, although most of them have had a plan for employee contributions. My wife had one that would match the first $8k IIRC. I doubt that a "substantial" amount of your health care cost came from "Obamacare." I've already been paying a lot more each year for less coverage.

    That is where the "tasteless" comment above comes in.

    Well, then they get a lesson. What they take away from that lesson will likely vary.

    Character? Character is not taking your ball and going home. They didn't have any balls.

    Doesn't matter. A cult member isn't going to get elected over a Christian in the U.Sof A, even if he does try to play up the the evangelicals at a commencement.

    Sounds like they are doing that to "promote the general Welfare".
