Fink - I can't agree with you more on the action side of the MM's. However, as far as the production by Dean --- please recall the CC's that it's most probable that there will be M&A. I strongly believe that once the hurdle of FDA is sealed approval to sell it won't be long for a takeover. Keep in mind if the dvis is as good as said to be then the likes of GE will be there to buy. Remember the article posted about what GE intends on doing business wise. See ya in the cicle.

Fink,

Great reply. My accountant has that all sorted out as far as I can tell. I'm hoping to have minimized tax liability for some of my gains this year. I was diversified last year, but so many things failed last year. The hard part was staying in some things and not panicking totally. I'm just hoping real estate turns around sometime soon.
I think God just reminds me to stick to what I do best- treat kids, but someday I'd just love to do it because I still want to, not because I need to.
If the "Dominator" works like it has been touted, this thing will be great for pediatrics, as I've stated before on this board.
I am trying to learn more technical analysis stuff, just to help a little, but it all seems so arbitrary sometimes. It seems to me that a stock really is only objectively worth it's true value when it is zero, or when there is a buy out, otherwise it is so arbitrary. Most of these companies have so much debt, how can you really evaluate what they are worth. I've learned some from this board, but most of all I've enjoyed the other players on this board- good combo of frank discussions and cordial replies. Certainly a few Yahoos have showed lately, but that's life.

Thanks-

Fink-

Interesting concept, let me understand this correctly please. I do have a few years of 3k deductions ahead of me, and i'm facing a bit tax hit with IMGG. So if i'm underwater big in some other stocks I sell them this year, and just buy them back? That way I can collect that big loss, and I don't lose the shares? I would just have to hold them another full year to avoid short term capital gains tax.

Also, for the sake of argument, say you make 100k, and you have to pay 15k of taxes. Wouldn't you just need a 15k loss (or deduction) not a 100k?


Can you just confirm? I hadn't thought of this. Thanks!
