Very good. Perhaps that's why I've never done this. I've mentioned it quite a few times over the years when folks talked about what to do with...
Howdy all, Medoraman is spot on and so is your CPA. What you're talking about is the 30 day Wash Sale rule. IRS disallows losses on a sell if...
Hi Mikey, There are several things to consider and no really right answer. First, lets talk premium. Right now I'm looking at 4.6% for 90%...
Hi Jack, I probably didn't express myself well. I don't disagree with you. Unless things went completely into the toilet, I also doubt we'd...
Exactly. Why do they use 50 and 200 DMA (day moving averages)? Because they do. They could have just as easily used 60 and 300. However,...
Howdy, The problem is that everyone continually tries to simplfy the demand for both silver and gold and this myopia is not good if you want to...
