Thread is hopping tonight. Must be the coming Barrons article. (:>)

>>I apologize for sharing my personal problems but please be advised for all of you out there with elderly parents. Don't wait until it is too late to prepare for this malady because of the medical issues and believe it or not, the legal issues. If you have an inkling of this condition affecting your parents, please note that you have a waiting period of three years to remove assets from their estate or if not, you will have to deplete them to pay for nursing care expenses and the only thing that you can protect is the homestead and limited amount of acreage that is adjacent to the homestead.<<

Sorry to hear about this TD. I'm sure SERM's will become the drug of choice for a lot of aging women--they seem to help prevent osteoporosis, breast cancer, Alzheimer's and heart disease (think I read this on the thread). But what will we men do?

Wondering what you mean about 3 years to remove assets? Three years from when? How can you remove them? And who then pays for the nursing care? You are right, nobody deserves this. Let's hope LGND can make a big difference.

>> I don't mind those capital gain distributions. <<

Me neither, as long as I am a recipient. (:>)
