My read is that it's less about losing the customer than losing the cash at this particular moment. SVB was simply a run on the bank. Kevin Slater

The NY Times reports today that 87% (I think it was) of all assets held at the bank were above the 250k insurance limit. Kevin Slater

Nah, it was even worse. Kevin Slater

Good luck with that. Kevin Slater

A rentmen user name is hardly a good identifier of a client-- it's easily changed. Any of the more useful identifiers (e.g. phone numbers) would violate the rules of this site. Personally, if someone starts repeating questions he's asked before, I tell him we'll need a deposit to keep the chat going. And I would never travel for a new client without a deposit. All that being said, if you still did want to discuss clients by rentmen user name, that may be a good question to ask in the Ask a Moderator forum. Kevin Slater

There is a thread about crypto here. We should keep this thread on the subject of escorts reporting their earnings. Kevin Slater (qua admin)

Technically, the IRS doesn't require one to report holding crypto. Getting paid in crypto or disposing of it is a taxable event, but purchasing and or holding it is not. Kevin Slater

Depends where I am at the time. Kevin Slater

I feel attacked. Kevin Slater

Thanks for posting! An interesting read. Kevin Slater

I don't see anything on my end about hiding rates or not. Kevin Slater

Yup, we've said all that needs to be said here.

Although, interestingly, drug dealers are statutorily prohibited from deducting business expenses other than cost of goods sold. Kevin Slater

I don't love that answer at all. It's not hard to find out, and then to check if the mix is one you're comfortable with. If you feel that it's underperforming over a 20 year time span I would be curious if you're weighted too heavily in bonds. (My personal take, as I think you've said you're in your 40s, is any bonds are too many.) It'd be an easy matter to switch existing monies into more growth oriented funds and/or to redirect future contributions. Kevin Slater

Yup, my Lucid was up a whopping 88% at one point during the day. (It closed up a mere 43%.) Kinda wish I had held more than two shares. Kevin Slater

This thread is trending away from finances and investments. Let's pick up these other topics in the lounge.

Just bought that first tranche. Kevin Slater

Moderator’s note: Let’s get back to the subject of this thread, the passing of Adam Rich.

There are a lot of interesting little (and not so little) changes in there. For example some RMD changes even higher catch-up contributions for ages 60 to 63 (starting in 2025) solo 401s can now be established and funded by employee contributions after the calendar year but before the filing deadline (starting with tax year 2023-- drat!) SEP and SIMPLE IRAs can now be Roth Thanks for posting. Kevin Slater

Just that the phishing spam messages always say he's an engineer from Nigeria. You'd have to ask him. Kevin Slater

The clients. 😜 Kevin Slater

Scratch that. The plan had to be set up during the calendar year, and employee contributions had to be made in the calendar year as well. Kevin Slater

That’s on my radar for tax year 2022. Kevin Slater
