Maybe if Trump stopped doing really dumb things, there would be less of a reason to make jokes about the dumb things he does?

That's unsurprising, considering they're putting essentially no resources into the site... Not sure what they expect to happen.

The tax deductions make sense now. So basically, if I net lose $3000 in investment, I gain $300 on tax day considering I'm taxed for 10%.

I was thinking I'd deduct that from my overall taxes, aka literally minus up until $3000. That would be tax evasion tier exploitable.

Not particularly useful if you plan on making money, but good to know nonetheless.


Indeed, considering you're losing a lot more than you're saving in taxes, it's not really a way to make money as much as it is a way to mitigate some of the losses.

Well, if you owned stock you took a hit.


In general the market dropped back down to where it was 3 weeks ago, so it's not like you wiped out years of savings there.

So... that means I basically am given $3000 to invest annually for free? Am I understanding that right, I just gain $3000? Well, if I even paid that much in taxes. That's not right, is it?


I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, but the post you're replying to is saying that if you realize $3000 in capital losses during a year, you can deduct $3000 from your income (which works like any other deduction).

If that doesn't make sense, there's a few things you need to understand:

What matters is the difference between the purchase price and the sale price of an asset. If you have $100 worth of stock that you decide to sell, you need to look at how much you bought that stock for to determine whether you owe taxes on that trade, or if that trade is a loss.

Say you buy some stock for $90, and you later sell it for $100. That is a capital gain of $10, that you then owe taxes on.

If you buy some stock for $110 and you later sell it for $100, that is a capital loss of $10.

If, over all of the things you sell during the year, the total sum of capital gains and losses is negative, you can deduct that loss (up to $3000) from your standard income taxes.

There are also other concerns, like long term and short term capital gains, but I'll let you research those yourself.

x is the number of big dogs
x + 36 is the number of small dogs

2x + 36 = 49
2x = 49 - 36
x = (49 - 36) / 2
x = 6.5
x + 36 = 42.5

But it's a pretty morbid show if they're counting halves of dogs.

Varies. Recently, just work. I often work 1 month rotations (28 days on, 28 days off) with 12 hour shifts, so not a ton of free time to do anything besides eat and sleep. This time I'm doing 3 weeks on, 1 week off, and then back to a normal 9-5 M-F schedule.

Also, where I currently am (Luanda, Angola)... I'm not particularly interested in "seeing the sites". Little too dangerous for my liking. The locals that I work with are all fantastic, but everyone I deal with is well off and highly educated, whereas half this country lives on something like $2USD a day.


12 hour shifts for 28 days at a time sounds pretty grueling. >.<

Life's fine. I'm still working all around the world, if you were around when I was last doing that. Currently in Africa, but should be back home next week for the foreseeable future. Though... I thought that last time I got home (in May) and less than a year later the shipped me back over here.

We just hired a bunch of new people though, so maybe in a year or two there might be more people willing to do this so it's not all on me. Back when I agreed to do it, it was because I was basically the only one who could commit to being away for so long. Everyone else has kids (or were expecting them) and couldn't really spend a year working away from home. I'm a pretty obvious choice for this kind of work given that I'm a young single male.


That seems like a pretty interesting life. Do you get much chance to go out and see sights while you're there, or is it mostly focused on work?

Okay. I'm just trying to balance school and work. How are you?


Pretty good. Bought a house earlier last year, and changed teams at work, so that time was a little crazy, but things have settled down a bit now.

Why have you been gone so long?


Don't usually get online until later, and by the time I do, PotD is usually pretty dead, so the compulsion to check on it constantly is a little less overwhelming.

I still like to lurk from time to time though.

Can't complain too much. Work is busy, but it's fun and interesting. It's crazy that it's almost been a year since I started looking to move out of my old apartment. It doesn't seem like it's been that long.
