from the horses (IRS) mouth: I own stock which became worthless last year. Can I take a bad debt deduction on my tax return? If you own securities and they become totally worthless, you can take a deduction for a loss, but not for a bad debt. The worthless securities are treated as though they were capital assets sold on the last day of the tax year if they were capital assets in your hands. Report worthless securities on line 1 or line 9 of Schedule D (Form 1040), whichever applies. In columns (c) and (d), write "Worthless." For additional irs.ustreas.gov

I thought this was hilarious. It got me ROTFL:Subject: MINK MINERAL RESOURCES \| Previous \| Next \| Respond \| Remove Navigation To: George S (366 ) From: Andrew Morze Friday, Mar 20 1998 11:21PM EST Reply # of 371 George: There is no need to invoke that woman's name. S/he might come back to bite... a scorned woman is like a rattlesnake. Mink made a big mistake by firing her. With the big mouth of hers, s/he would've pumped the stock to its new highs in a matter of weeks... and s/he was so cheap in comparison with the pro's... all she was asking for was a reimbursement of her costs. A home-grown pump and dump artist with a keyboard and plenty of free time on her hands. S/he wouldn't eat much and wouldn't drink much... s/he would just keep typing and sending all over the cyberspace her virus-free hypes every fifteen minutes, 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week. All moms and pops (and their sons and daughters-in-law) would be buying MKM stock like crazy. Of course, s/he would eventually SELL and TELL... and the rest would be history. Nonetheless, Mink had lost a cheap, but very effective promoter... they will never find another character like her. I am not sure what is a correct pronoun to designate her... s/he was so ambiguous... or was it ambisexual? My reply to those who keep saying that s/he was a nut case and a cyberbitch is this: So what? Forget the dump and remember the pump... It was sooo goood... I wonder what happened to a truckload of cheap T-shirts she bought a week before s/he sold and told. You know, those with Orly's face in the front... the back side was intentionally left blank I think. If s/he was reimbursed for those T-shirts, it is legally Mink's property now. The company could distribute those T-shirts, in lieu of the stock dividends, to all the shareholders of record. Have the suckers promote their own stock if they want to get their investments back. Have the Mink's lawyer call her right away and demand that all the T-shirts with Orly's face be returned immediately to the company's coffers. Heck with the diamonds, I want my shirt back. :-)) By the way, there is another free Mink forum in the cyberspace: stockhouse.com -am \| Previous \| Next \| Respond \| View SubjectMarks Bookmark this Subject - Return to Gold, Mining, and Natural Resources One or more words separated by spaces: Subject Titles Only Full-Text Messages with Links Send questions and feedback to webmistress@techstocks.com To link to this reply, use the following Location: Terms of Use
