  • Student Loans: The Elephant In The Room? [View article]
    Mr. Walker,

    If compelled, do an SA Article on PELL Grants. One of my pet peevs. The Colleges are now raising the Cost of Education to GRAB MORE of the PELL Eligible Student's Funds. Now Both the Student (however briefly enrolled) AND the Colleges are GAMING the system. Food Stamps for Class Time?

    Make it fit in the SA forum.

    Thanks for considering this!

  • Nuveen New York AMT-Free Muni Fund: A Good Holding For Highly Taxed Investors [View article]
    Mr. George,

    I listen to You! When I feel Gundlach's prediction of Higher Taxation is eminent then I will be more serious at placing Capital in the Tax Free Area.

    I can't see Bernanke yanking the rug from under Obama's Tax Net, so Q stays intact. That is Bad for Muni's, dadgumit!!

    What is disturbing to me is the recent movement/DECLINE in Gold and Lumber. Two indices I watch and scratching my head? Any views there?

  • Beware Long-Term Damage From Stock Market Bubble Forming Now [View article]
    Tennessee'n,

    I think we are in similar camps, Trying to Make Money. My Camp is more of an IN/OUT with Trailing Stops. My Crap Table analogy has me utilizing the various hedges offered. Most hedges bought/bet are lost, but Insurance nonetheless. I collect nothing on my Home Owners Insurance, UNLESS that Tornado hits.

    Again, Taking a Profit by selling, then Buying Back at a Swoon or Dive in this Market has been Profitable. That said, I wish I held on to Ford when I was in and out below $5. Buy and Hold would have made me FAR MORE than this In/Out Crap Shoot!

    Dog,

    Real Property is allowed in SEP/IRAs. Finding a Custodian is the issue, but they are out there. The sweet spot is having Rapidly Rising Real Property Assets in a ROTH SEP/IRA, Selling them at a substantial Profit, then redeploying in ANY IRS allowed Asset. Booking Cap Gains and TAX FREEEEEE.

    One example of SWEET SPOT:
    Real Property Minerals/Royalties "M/R" in the Horizontal Drilling Boom. Those M/R have been fetching a 10X Multiple on annual net.

    Mr. Wilbur,

    Is the Fed active in the Rapidly Declining Price of Gold and Lumber? These pieces still have me scratching my head. I don't want to Fight, just gain a better understanding as rapidly as possible!!

    Has the EPA calculated the value of reducing our Drinking Water by X billions of gallons due to it being used for Fracking? If Obama's directives fail, Fracking Prevails, then buy the Desalination Stocks. What are those by the way?

    Mr. Moore,

    I like Your Articles. The despair comes from being served up by the Court Server. That would be You, Sir. Too many Court Servers just doing a Great Job, but shot at any way!

    George,

    I'm not finding enough reasons to buy the Muni CEFs or ETFs right now. One positive is the Discount but the Equivalent Yield is weakening. What are YOU doing?

    Frogeth,

    Rent Dwellings, Raw Land with standing/merchantable timber and Raw Land with paying O&G Mineral/Royalties (when Timber is absent). The O&G Minerals/Royalties are selling at Premiums if oily.

    Beware Working Interest in the O&G Promotions.
