OT, Hey Ron, it is just you and me today. Down here, we have the marvelous Roth IRA. Pay tax on what goes in, wait five years "aging" period minimum, withdraw after 59 1/2 with no income tax on the gains. I guess you have seen our discussion on this on the Yahoo thread? So, if your 100M shares, bought at 7 cents, goes to $10, voila! Pay tax on the $7000 up front and withdraw one day, after much patience, $993,000 with no more tax. Nice. Do you guys have anything like a Roth? Some people here probably haven't thought of it. Maybe they should? gerald |
