Tax Day Reliefs!
Well the only good thing about a stock market decline is that we owe LESS taxes on the earnings...ahem, I mean on the lack-of-earnings. In fact, it gets better. We can (and should) take up to $3,000 of losses over and above those which offset our capital gains, as a tax loss.
The Rest of the Story
Warren Buffet was quoted over the weekend saying the economy is in shambles and that it will last for the rest of this year. Not sure that’s news, yet it’s surely captured headlines. In fact, Buffett may have needed (he surely wanted) to refocus some of the VERY negative spot light on him, given that his investments, including Berkshire Hathaway suffered the worst year in it’s history, by a VERY large margin. Don’t get me wrong, I like Warren Buffet, yet I’m NOT sure this is a time for him to be spouting off; perhaps he should stick to his knitting.
