I don't know Pabs. Its just a question in my mind. I can't envision a Fiddelity or vanguard mutial fund going T1Ts up and the investors loosing their money. I don't have the same warm feeling for say OIL/USO.

Thats why I have some EUROS in an FDIC insured account with
EverBank . And I have FXE also. But I'm paying an in and out fee at EverBank for the conversion. :(. I need to do more research.

And welcome back. Sorry I didn't mention that earlier.

Keep your eye on it.


1 trading day and I'm up $666.00....I don't think this is a good thing.

666 in one day? 1 share? Yeah.......OK but now you must tell us what this share is, man!!
 
Nah, 600 of them. up 4% over Friday.

A while back when I was grizzling over my bank fees, another poster suggested buying my bank. Their share price has dropped to the point that their usual dividend is significantly greater than my interest rate with taxes. Down 35% over November.

So I started buying my bank..SGB

St. George Bank. Not bad. Now when to sell.......that's the truly evil decision!!
 
Down here, gains made on shares are taxed at your marginal rate (40% for me), unless you keep them for more than 12 months, then they are taxed only on 50% of the gain...that's for share"holders".

Make enough trades, and the Tax office declares you a share "trader", and the 50% discount doesn't apply. You also have to pay quarterly tax installments on your activity.
 
More people control via taxation. I suppose limiting "trading" is seen a good in some camps.

People are in outrage, radio talk shows are jammed.

Bad timing to raise taxes, plus there will be 2 more ones coming up this year, one will be on the ballot in Nov.

Unbelieveable.
 
Saw this on CNBC this morning.

I'm tempted as well - up .70 today.


Where did you find the x date? I haven't seen it.

My sell threshold is $47. What I've sold so far has exceeded my threshold + the extra div + a little. Good enough for now. Just felt like it was time.
