The 75/50 Portfolio: A Process Drilldown

MLPs: GP / LP Relationship Is Key

I'm hesitiant to buy MLP's for my retirement accounts as I know I might end up with UBTI and a K-1 for the IRA. also, I think there are tax benefits I can't use although the yield is good and what's the difference if I can't use tax benefits? I'd appreciate your comments on these issues. Would certain MLP's be better, if at all, for my IRA?

Thanks for the article.

Maybe better ideas would be NMO and NQM. I'm sure there's many others. I wished I'd just sold as up too much too fast.

The Gold Trend Is Up, But the Trade Is Over-Crowded: Proceed with Caution

I have a covered call option sold for oct 100, expiring tomorrow. Now to decide if I should buy back the call or let it expire and loose my GLD position. In an IRA with a purchase of 75, so I've made a nice profit but I also bought to be able to write covered calls. So I can also roll the call over. Rather new at this.

Break-out or Fake-out?

the wall of worry is high and we may have reached the top. I never excited the market so now that I have recovered, I am thinking of selling most everything as I am 75 and retired. I think selling at over some percent above the 200 day MA makes sense.What percent is the question? I'm looking at some history.

Don't Give Up on Stocks Yet

there are those that say to sell if you break the 200 day on the way down. Why? Also, why not say sell on the way up when a target over the 200 day is reached. Where would be a good target then? 30%, 40% etc

Municipal Bond Fund ‘Swan Dive’

I hold several Nuveen Muny's over 9 months and I see that many have taken the nice appreciation made but I have not. First of all I don't have long term gains and I bought them for income and a money market alternative, so I'm happy. A few have increased distributions. And where else can you get 6-7% with AA and higher.
