  2. Tax software - different results ?

    Aren't these free filings for simple returns only.

  3. Tax software - different results ?

    I've done my own since 1950. Getting more difficult as their instruction booklet as gone from 20 or 30 pages to way over 100. Mine have not always been simple as I have owned a farm, had jobs that required use of private auto, sold standing timber, had a small company at one time, and worked...

  4. Most cost effective way to purchase precious metals?

    I would go for junk silver, pre 1964 coins, and I see them from time to time on here for sale at spot. Bought and sold here in past years. Gold also. I bought some gold coins from local dealer at about a 5% premium a few years ago. I have a lot of copper pennies collected since the 1950's...

  5. Today is a good example of why you have to be very careful in the market

    Like your approach. I got out of stocks last November and have been trading the indexes via ETF's since. Only trading Russel 2000 now as it is the only one down a good bit from it's high. TQQQ was a winner for a good while. TDAmeritrade quit charging transaction fees for stock and ETF's about...

    And you don't have to pick which ones of those to buy, just buy the NASDAQ index.

  7. Today is a good example of why you have to be very careful in the market

    Amazon was up about 30% during the month of March while the major indexes were tanking.

  8. So how did your investments do in 2019

    40+ and went to cash. Have a little in 3x NASDQ, TQQQ, and when that peaks sometime probably within 12 months switch to SQQQ if the Lord continues to bless me. Just enough to keep me watching the markets. Had that wrong, as TQQQ is bet on NASDQ gaining. SQQQ is 3x Reverse NASDAQ.

    Fake gold and silver all over the place

    OK, ya'll got my attention. I have a Gold 5 dollar 1887 and 1997 s Liberty coin that I bought a few years ago on the ODT. Also bought some junk silver from him which I have since sold. The 1887 s coin is in a hard plastic case. The 1897 s is in a thin plastic holder. I can detect a very...

  10. Currency Revaluations: Truth of Fiction? Anybody stashing?

    Best way to play currencies are probably ETF's as you can get in and out quickly and without fees or minimum fees, don't remember.

  11. Investing is simpler than it looks

    Good to hear some others have similar thoughts. I am 85 and have procrastinated so long still in a split level house. But could live in the 1 bedroom addition I built about 24 years ago for her Mother which connects to ground level of two story part of the main house. I am still getting...

  12. Investing is simpler than it looks

    I took early retirement from first employer after 30 years, regular retirement from 2nd at 65 then part time consulting just 3 months short of my 77th birthday when Obama got rid of a lot of government contractors. Don't quit at 65 unless you are physically impaired or very, very well off. Hit...

  13. Investing is simpler than it looks

    We are a step away and at those prices wondering if it would not be better to stay put and hire a maid/cook.

  14. Investing is simpler than it looks

    l don't mean to advise anyone on investments, but I would like to share some info. Land prices have gone up from the mid 1930's to 2008-2010 time frame with the only drop in that time frame of up to 65% in North Ga but probably not in Cobb county. You could buy land in Cobb for $600 per acre...

  15. Savings bonds ?

    I agree land is a good investment for young and middle age people. Land prices have risen in North Ga from the '30's from 3 or 4 dollars per acre to a peak in the 2008 - 2010 time and then for the first time during that period down to 35 to 40% of the 2008-2010 peak. I don't think there is a...

  16. Savings bonds ?

    No to detract from bonds, but I mentioned MO in the silver thread and should have also mentioned PM as when they were talking about a merger they both dropped to about 40 and 71, now a month later at 45 and 81.8 with better reviews and projections with yields of 7.75 and 5.8% on today prices...

  17. Savings bonds ?

    WOW did not see any 2.75% rates - you did good.

  18. taxes on stock earnings?

    I would be very, very, very careful about shorting stocks.

  19. taxes on stock earnings?

    I think it is schedule D where you report capital gains and losses for the tax year. Long term gains, over 12 months, tax rates are lower than short term gains. If your net is a loss, then you can write it off up to 3k per year and carry any over the 3k to next year. Dividends, ordinary and...

  20. Savings bonds ?

    Right, CD's were paying 2. to 2.2 last year, but now are l.5 to 1.8 for 12 months.
