  1. Is no one worried that even though these strategies may not violate the letter of the law they definitely violate the spirit (saving for college), which could raise problems with the IRS? http://www.lorman.com/newsletters/article.php?article_id=1073&newsletter_id=232&category_id=6 If the IRS thinks the plans are set up for the express purpose of avoiding estate or transfer taxes, they can invalidate your use of them, and then you've lost a lot of time and opportunity to setup your estate in a potentially more efficient way.
  2. You are either mistaken or under very unusual state regulation. An SMA can charge reasonable fees. In my state anything up to 2% is still considered reasonable. Higher than that you get some backlash. SMA's are also not precluded from incentive fees either as long as the client is accredited. Performance fees for RIAs depends on the state. Some require the investor to be qualified not accredited. I believe the SEC requires the client to either have $1 million invested or $2 million net worth. http://www.sec.gov/rules/final/2012/ia-3372.pdf
  3. Interesting. Would you mind linking to the printer and coil binding machine you purchased? Thanks! Printer: http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Printers/HP-LaserJet/CC494A?HP-Color-LaserJet-Enterprise-CP4525dn-Printer#BVRRWidgetID Binders: https://www.probinding.com/SubCategoryProducts.aspx?SubCategoryID=2 If you are planning on binding your documents, automatic two-sided printing (included in the printer linked above) is a must. Also, if you are planning to bind one or a few documents a day then the low volume (read: least expensive) binder will do the work. No need to pay for an expensive binding machine that is designed to bind 50 presentations in a sitting. Enjoy. Awesome. Thanks so much for the links.

  5. Try using print view. That works pretty well, in my opinion. For example: http://www.cornerofberkshireandfairfax.ca/forum/general-discussion/best-way-to-view-this-site-on-mobile-and-tablet/?action=printpage
  6. Is the reorg a big mistake? http://stratechery.com/2013/why-microsofts-reorganization-is-a-bad-idea/
  7. There are lots of maritime museums in the Hampton Roads area. The one you mention is run by the US Navy. They wouldn't be buying Titanic assets, sequester or no sequester. Correct. For example, there is also the Mariners' Museum (http://www.marinersmuseum.org/). Besides, I doubt any of these museums would be buying the assets with their own money. It's probably safe to say that whichever museum it is has been looking for private donors to help fund the purchase and the proper display of the artifacts. That's why it's been described as a public-private consortium. The CEO pretty much laid it all out on the conference call.
  8. Yes, they are flawed, but publishing on the 15th day isn't the issue. As bargainman mentioned, if you have their stock screening software SIPro you can run the screens at any time. At most, I would use their published screens as idea generators (if I'd even use them at all).
  9. Fixing up the business doesn't mean they aren't open to a sale. In fact, it makes more sense to try to sell after the business is fixed than to try to sell while it's still broken. Hopefully, management chooses to follow whichever route generates the most value for shareholders.
  10. "Read somewhere"???? No need to rumor monger ;) Unless Gregg files an amendment to his 13D, I wouldn't start jumping to conclusions. Read Whopper's latest write-up on SeekingAlpha. Gregg's in the comments.
  11. It's impossible to achieve the returns in the screens since they are theoretical, rebalance monthly, don't take slippage and liquidity into account, etc. The Shadow Stock portfolio, however, is a real money portfolio. If you follow the trading guidelines, you have a good chance of replicating the results. Beware that it is a very volatile portfolio, though.
  12. I use the Mr. Reader and SlowFeeds apps on my iPad to read RSS, so I'm trying to stick to services that they'll both support. Right now, I'm evaluating Feed Wrangler ($19/yr) and FeedHQ ($12/yr). Until I decide, Feedly is free, and I'll use it as my backend once Mr. Reader and SlowFeeds start supporting it (hopefully, before July 1). I might even stick with Feedly if it seems to be working well, but I'm kind of leaning towards a paid service so I know the rug won't get pulled out from under me again in the future.
  13. If the bid wasn't serious, I don't think Premier would have waited a year to engage investment bankers. I just think they finally realized that the consortium would take quite a while to work out (if ever) because of the complexity of selling to both public and private buyers, and it was about time to look for other buyers even if it meant getting a price less than what the consortium was offering. Hopefully, we'll get a better update of the process on the call in mid-July.
  14. Then you better check this website quick before it gets changed, too ;) http://scioncapital.org/
