<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lucyray, post: 999370, member: 24565&quot;]And don&#039;t forget to add in the 28% on the gain (it would serve to reduce net profit, yes?_&nbsp; Or is there a way to avoid 28%, say for long term capital gains at a lesser amount (isn&#039;t bullion treated same as numismatic?&nbsp; I hope and wish I was wrong on that; capital gains I THINK is less than the 28% for the time being, again not sure..)&nbsp; Or perhaps, sell when you are set to take a loss elsewhere, hopefully offsetting the gain (gee, isn&#039;t that a way to think...sigh..)(hope for a loss???_&nbsp; But wait, I think someone did recommend in past posts to sell a little at a time, so that gains might not have to be recognized?)&nbsp; Sheesh!&nbsp; Hope for kids.&nbsp; But WAIT!&nbsp; The little bit I know about that, is if you leave it to someone other than your spouse (with current estate values of up to 3.5 though I think that is/has changed) then THEY have to pay the tax on the gifted amount, well, unless it is included somewhere in your once in a lifetime gift of ....not sure the number anymore.&nbsp; Can&#039;t think of what that&#039;s called; unified tax credit comes to mind, but somehow I don&#039;t think that&#039;s it.&nbsp; Oh well, just more thinking on the subject.&nbsp; Myself, I would like to cash it all in at a gain, pay the tax, and then run and hide with what&#039;s left, spend it ALL, pay for my funeral, then go &quot;POOF&quot;!&nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Don&#039;t sweat the small stuff, is the saying.&nbsp; Good advice, especially now with these little ups and downs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
