it happened to us . our senior partner finally got a buyer and sold the lease rights we owned in manhattan to an investor group a year plus it triggered the max premium in medicare since medicare looks back 2 years to set your premium ..so we were not on medicare yet in 2014 when we had the sale .....

OK I think I understand what you're looking for: a sub-list of sale dates/amounts, amount left in the lot, cost basis, realized gains/losses in what year etc, sort of like what Fidelity and Vanguard provide for position holdings. Yes it would be a programming job if you do a lot of sales in differen...

This might have been one of the benefits of a national EHR system, if the Obama administration had done it right instead of royally screwing things up. LOL, aren't you in favor of some version of government run medicare for all? Why on earth would that not be yet another clusterf*ck? What are the c...

When you posted this I thought it was for clients not for yourself. If it's only for yourself, why make it so complicated? It's just a spreadsheet with a listing of gold purchases in the order you made them. To decide on a lot to sell, you can look for the purchase with the maximum loss (if you want...

It's easy to decide to take capital gains when you get to do it at the 0% rate, but things get trickier if you're subject to the 15% rate. What if in future you expect to have a window where you can take the gains at a 0% rate? You'd be missing out on that not to mention the power of tax deferral. I...

It's an interesting idea. Not only do you avoid cap gains at potentially higher rates in future, but you set yourself up for useful tax loss harvesting by resetting the basis to a high level. If you're in a high tax bracket, that $3000 offset to ordinary income is well worth prepaying some tax. Just...

Who are these "medical professionals?" How, in this day and age of computerized-everything, does this kind of prescribing pattern go unnoticed? Who in their right mind spends $200,000 for a medical degree and then risks everything? Who are these peoples' professional peers, and why aren't they spea...

Just when you thought you knew who will be the most viable Democratic candidates:

I SO can't wait to have this problem!!

Happy Easter or Passover, everyone.

I don't think it was Budd's feelings so much as the endless parade of posts that were some variation on the following: "<PP asset> is down today. This asset is worthless. The PP says you should hold this asset and I do because it told me to. So I hate the PP." It just wasn't helpful, except that I r...

Same here, and especially sorry that it had to be overlaid with a potentially avoidable financial issue.

When they say "doctor shortage" they mean primary care doctor shortage. The residency slots in that specialty don't fill up, because being a primary care doctor just plain sucks - worse than being a doctor in general, which is bad enough. Seriously no one wants that job, not even the nurse practiti...
