Almost exactly when he should have been using it! Otherwise, jokingly, I think it also helps to have a super cash fund where you can be 70% in cash, have 30% market exposure to stuff that returns 15-20% and then end up +30% on the whole enchilada every year. Both RBC and Axos are getting back to me on where to find this sort of financial product.

Saluki Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Bought a little Fairfax India in my Retirement account, a little VTS and a nice big slug of TV on the dip I also bought some BABA and NETI on which I have some losses, but plan to sell the earlier shares in 31 days which will help reduce some of my gains on the ATCO I was squeezed out of. I plan on reclycling that capital and doing that again and again with other down positions until the end of the year and hopefully end up not having to write a big check this year to the tax man. I'm making an actual written note to myself to sell, because in the past I've tended to hold on "well I SAID I would sell in 31 days, but it still looks pretty cheap, so maybe I should just hold on longer."
Red Lion Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Rolled some t bills that matured yesterday to more maturing September of 2023 and 2024 for 5% ytm and a significant tax advantage compared to keeping money in a money market or high yield bank account. Rolled a lot more into my home remodel fund.

Dinar Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 @dealraker, if I may ask, why did you size them so differently? How do you think about sizing positions in general? Thank you.
Spekulatius Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) Starters in both $AAP and $BRO. I added to $CNC as well. Edit: starter in $CABO as well. Edited March 1, 2023 by Spekulatius

And held my nose for her account on this one: 03/01/2023 Buy 125 NSCPopup NORFOLK SOUTHERN COR @ $225.7099 -$28,213.74 Dinar, I make no sense to myself or anyone else sometimes. As usual I'm investing where I think I have almost no chance of losing over time - and thinking the so-called upside will as they say "take care of itself" and such. To some degree I think AJ Gallagher has the probability (odds) to do better than Berkshire while Berkshire has more odds not to be derailed by some future competition model (than AJG). Edited March 1, 2023 by dealraker grammar!

How about a bit of diworsification? Edited March 1, 2023 by Spekulatius

I doubt I go beyond that. On AJG specifically, I don’t quite understand the clean energy investment that seem to be carried of the balance sheet. They are probably not material , but I wonder why they are in this business at all.
tede02 Posted March 2, 2023 Posted March 2, 2023 I've been buying short-term treasurys with cash. 5% yield STATE income tax free.

AJG seems to be a shameless tax speculator [, said the the guy who is a reasonable happy camper in a company obtaining USD 2.187 B for 2022 in tax credits related to power production by wind and investments in affordable housing].
