Interesting - Thanks for posting

It all goes in cycles, remember when Walmart called everyone an "associate".

Are they still publishing? I haven't received an issue in ages.

I guess I'm missing something. Since a Roth is non taxable when withdrawn, how are you paying tax? If done properly through a domestic relations order ((DRO( I think it is called)) the ex-spouse would be liable for any tax, but as it is a Roth there probably wouldn't be any. What am I missing?

ditto

CPA with my own small firm. A generalist (jack of all trades,master of none). Have been in practice since 1965. All small business, wouldn't know where to start on a big company. Have had many that grew and moved on to the national firms. Prefer the smaller entities as they are so much easier to understand.

One of the TV commentators said that "It gives a whole new meaning to the term"Mile High City" :)

1984 was weak

My wife's engagement ring and wedding band came from the Fedmart in Oklahoma City in 1960. She picked it out and still wears it.

I too joined early on, but dropped them when it seemed that they were more interested in a "story" stock than a value stock. You get much more from this board than they ever dreamed on VIC.

I always go to the First National Bank of Alaska annual meeting. The chairman is in his 90's, goes to work every day and (according to his secretary) makes and gets his own coffee. He also can quote the latest important banking statistics off the top of his head.

i am willing to live with my mistakes but don't want others to have to live with them.

If you can find an old copy of "The Money Masters" by John Train (original one as he has had updates), it was my introduction to WEB. Then have him read some of the early letters to shareholders on the web site. I believe the early ones were better because the size was much smaller and the companies such as See's , Furniture mart were much easier to understand.

Check under "portfolio performance"

I'm glad that there is one older than me. ;D

I don't believe that there is a limit on the credit (but it can't be more than the income tax).

THANKS !

The book by David McCullough on Harry Truman.

What sets the Free world apart from the rest of the world? It is that we can chose what we want to do with our earnings and investments. If I want to buy lots of "stuff", I can. If I want to give to charities, church or whatever, I can. It sounds like the gentleman pretty much did what he wanted, he and his wife traveled each year, etc. To each his own, and may he or she not have to worry about what I or you think.

Thanks!

I am in the process of closing my corporate profit sharing plan and have some non traditional assets and have the very same questions as ExpectedValue.
