<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lucyray, post: 999682, member: 24565&quot;]I did not intend any of my own &#039;rant&#039; for advice; sorry if it appeared that way.&nbsp; This is all info that I am dealing with personally.&nbsp; The numbers may not be right (as you say): Unified tax credit was max of 192,800 in 1992 (not 600k).&nbsp; Really, what my point was is this:&nbsp; it all sounds so easy -- buy coins/metals (whatever) at a nice price, and sell them when you feel you&#039;ve reached your expectations.&nbsp; In (my ) reality, it just isn&#039;t that simple.&nbsp; Darned taxes..&nbsp; It&#039;s not fiscally &#039;smart&#039; to not count ALL the costs..&nbsp; I believe this is a hobby here, for most, and I enjoy reading for that reason.&nbsp; For me, it is very serious.&nbsp; &quot;If I knew then what I know now...&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>And one more thing; I actually lost a whole nights sleep this past week because I read an article on Gold, about the fact that bullion is treated as &#039;numismatic&#039; with regard to taxes (hence 28%) and I have been under a different &quot;illusion&quot; for a long time(long term capital gains..).&nbsp; &nbsp; Now, since your post, I feel a bit better, but will sleep better when my cpa tells me true!&nbsp;&nbsp; They believe I should <u>consider</u> selling this year due to the changes in the taxes forthcoming..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
