Stock Thread 2019

Just want to say thanks to all who responded. Guess I'll stick with the 2% for now.
 
People are no interested in the truck because it doesn't have indestructible glass? That wasn't even a consideration 5 minutes before he mentioned it
 
That thing is so ugly. Can not believe Franz let that monstrosity come out.

Will bet that it changes drastically by “late 2022” release date.
 
So random question.
Let's say I sold X amount of stock and got Y realized gains. All long term. My federal tax rate is 15%.

To offset it I can just donate Y * .15 of long term appreciated stock?

Is it that simple, or am I missing something?
 
I'm no expert, but that sounds right to me. I've done that before with moneys received, looked up my bracket and just mailed off a check. It's never come back on me.
 
So you're going to donate money to offset? Interesting.

Guess that's better than giving it to the gov and them spending it on something you may not agree with. :)
 
Not money, stock directly.

Yeah I guess I need to do that.
 
You can Google tax deductions

In order to claim the donation as a deduction,
you'll need to itemize your deductions, not claim the standard deduction.

There are a few more details you'll need to know.

Yes I know. Already done that.
 
Well my pot stocks are in the toilet. That’s a 2-4 year hold now.

I need to go with my guy more. Was hovering over Target at $108.ish. I feel they are a $180 stock in 2 years. They were at $80 in July. I read a few articles saying Target is too expensive. I listen and hold off....it jumps 15% to $125 now in a day.

That sucks! I've lost a good chunk on some of my pot stocks. I figure they will do well mid 2020's and be similar to the tech industry of the 90's.

I've had pretty good experience buying basket ETF's and very mixed buying single stocks. As long as you are hoping and expecting something to double in two years, you're just gambling.

My winners: SCHV, SCHD, SCHX, VOO.

But then I'm delighted to see 10% yearly return, and if any of my holdings doubled in two years, I'd probably sell.
