[quote=bearishgurl]You’re right. None of us know ALL the reasons either of them decided to stay with each other. All the REAL news I’ve read and watched (from major MSM outlets only), including HRC’s authorized biography, essentially stated that she was more ambitious than Bill in college (which impressed him) and they got together to see if they could collectively assist each other to make a difference in the world. BOTH of them wanted to run for public office early on but they couldn’t do it at the same time. They are still trying to accomplish these same goals at this late date. And that is all okay but I have always thought that HRC paid too high a price to stay with Bill after it became clear that he was more of a liability to her than an asset. If she’s okay with her current “arrangement,” so am I. But let’s not pretend this isn’t a campaign issue. Most of the country (um, the electorate) did not and does not approve.[/quote]

My emphasis. She’s going to be elected president in about 40 days. I don’t think he’s been “too much” of a liability. The electorate clearly doesn’t approve of his affairs. Yet he left office as one of the most popular presidents ever, and could easily have been elected to a 3rd term if it had been allowed.

Except with you. But maybe you’re fine with him and think that she was the real bad party. Which seems to be your argument. Do you think women who get raped should be prosecuted too? If you’re just playing this as a campaign thing and don’t really feel this way, I understand. That’s kinda like your candidate.

Certainly, you can see the difference in her over the years, SK. You were there, weren’t you?[/quote]

No, I wasn’t there. And neither were you. I do remember the news. I have no idea what you mean by “see[ing] the difference in her”. But a huge difference between her and Trump. Trump was a slime ball, both in the way he treated his former wives and the way he’s treated dozens of women in public, and most certainly unknown hundreds in private. Hillary never was. Never. To steal another’s words, she had the grace to hold herself, while those around her crawled.

[quote=bearishgurl]SK, correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems you may be trying to say here that HRC, as a woman, would have had no chance at the 2008 and 2016 Democratic Presidential nomination unless she stayed married to that lying, cheating sack of *&^% aka Bill Clinton.

[/quote]
No, I didn’t say anything the least bit similar to this. This is all your made up garbage.

And maybe you haven’t noticed it because you don’t actually read real news, but Hillary is doing quite well with women. And her health is just fine, conspiracy theories notwithstanding.

You really have no f’ing clue why she decided to stay married. Your fantasy of blaming her seems as if it’s rooted in some horrible tragedy in your background. You really should see a counselor about it. Was it your abuse? Maybe your mother was abused by your father and you still blame her for it? There is help available. But clearly you have unresolved issues.

Wait. I have no idea why you have your opinions. That was very unfair of me to speculate. Because unless I know all the facts, i’d be an idiot to speculate. None of us know why Hillary Clinton decided to stay married to Bill. You’re apparently not subject to those same limitations.

[quote=bearishgurl][quote=SK in CV]Can you imagine what a woman would go through trying to be a Presidential candidate if they had 5 children with 3 different fathers, and began relationships with the 2nd and 3rd husbands before they were even separated from the previous spouse?

But it’s ok when a man does it. Apparently even for some women, it’s nowhere near as bad as being married to a man who has had affairs. Is that like Stockholm syndrome or something? Or just general disrespect for women.[/quote]In reference to DJT, you must be referring to him cheating on Ivana with Marla Maples. When Ivana walked away from that marriage/business partnership (which SHE helped build), she was left a multi-millionaire and set for life.

Maples and DJT were only married for +/- 4 years (from ’93 to ’97, when they legally separated). He did not meet Melania until 1998, did not date her until 1999 and did not marry her until 2005. She became a permanent resident of the US on her own in 2001 and a citizen in 2006 (after she married Donald).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melania_Trump

You must be getting confused due to Bill’s dozens of trysts highly publicized in the MSM during fully half of our lifetimes. I know . . . it happens.[/quote]

So you’re calling Ivana a prostitute? Because she was paid well, his philandering is ok with you? I can’t even fathom why you think a financial settlement excuses his behavior but Clinton not divorcing her philandering husband makes her horrible.

I’m not confused about anything, other than your hypocrisy in being ok with Donald the philanderer but having a problem Hillary Clinton as the wife of a philanderer. You realize how anti-woman that position is, right?

[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=La Jolla Renter]IMO Obamacare is going to get crushed by the media as soon as Obama leaves office. All the warts and pimples will finally get exposed. We were all sold a pack of lies.[/quote]

It’s simply a failure and inability of the markets to deliver a public good. Like the deregulation of the CA electricity market was a failure.

That’s why we need HillaryCare. ObamaCare is just RomneyCare, but a useful progression to HillaryCare.[/quote]

You’re right. Obamacare has been a shining success. An additional 20 million people covered by insurance. While there have been some stupid morons that haven’t been able to adequately negotiate the admittedly complicated and confusing medical insurance industry, it has been a huge improvement over what was available in the past. Yet it does need some tweaks. Adding a public option, as Clinton wants to do, will make it a much better system, and far better for everyone than what was available prior to the law being implemented.

[quote=FlyerInHi]BG, Alicia Machado was ambushed at the gym by Trump who invited the press to film her like an animal at the zoo. Trump pulled a promotional stunt.

You clearly don’t understand abuse of women and girls around the world. The argument is always that they willingly consented.

BTW, how is Hillary responsible for the past behavior of her husband? So Hillary can’t stand on her own. She must forever carry collective guilt?[/quote]

What debate were you watching?

I don’t even think the CNN crew would say Trump got his ass kicked.[/quote]

Actually a lot of them did, as have commentators all up and down the channels and newspapers across the country. Along with the CNN polling. All actual polls showed Clinton won.

First, Investors must realize that the Deferred Sales Trust is a relatively new tax-deferral strategy. It should only be used by sophisticated investors who can understand and accept the risk of using a new and untested tax-deferred strategy.

Generally, the 1031 Exchange is a better tax deferred strategy for most investors. However, the Deferred Sales Trust may be an alternative tax-deferred strategy when you do not wish to, or can not, acquire like-kind replacement property through a 1031 Exchange.

[/quote]That’s what got my attention and curiosity[/quote]

That is something different. The name seemed to perfectly fit the 1031 accommodator trust. I’m not sure what the upside to it is other than deferring tax and deferring cash. If appreciation remains in the hands of the seller, no way it can pass muster. Sounds like a way for someone else to get a piece of your money. Kind of like paying a third party to help you save money with weekly mortgage payments instead of monthly.

[quote=flu][quote=SK in CV][quote=flu]So question… Anyone know what a ” Deferred Sales Trust ” is, and how is it different from a 1031 exchange?[/quote]

A “deferred sales trust” is where the cash goes in between the sale of the 1st property and the purchase of the 2nd property for a 1031 exchange. Typically done by what’s called a 1031 accommodator.[/quote]

Can it be used to defer capital gains to prolong when you need purchase a replacement property ? If so how does it work?

For example, hypothetically, if I think real estate is at peak, and sell now, but want to wait, for example, 2 years before I buy a replacement property, is there any way to defer the capital gains from the sales of the first property by using some legal way to extend a property “exchange”?[/quote]

No can do. Replacement must be identified within 45 days, and transaction closed within 180 days of disposition of original property. These rules (as codified in 1979) are the result of a SC case, a guy named Starker, who attempted just what you’ve described, keeping the funds in hands of the buyer for up to two years and acquiring 12 pieces of replacement properties over that time. Starker partially won his case. Laws were rewritten to allow the deferred exchange with specific rules. Huge case when it went down, with expectations of a huge increase in tax free exchanges. Never really happened. They’re still pretty rare. People just don’t plan that well. Even when they are done, they’re often done wrong.

[quote=tnuomarap][quote=SK in CV]Lower of the two.[/quote]

Thanks – that’s what I was afraid of, I thnk these cap gains calcs are roughly correct then.

Original purchase price: $272,000 (not including commissions, etc..)
Sale Price: $333,000
It’s been rented for (5) tax years with an annual depreciation of $10,318

Depreciation recap: 13250
Fed Cap Gain: 6653 (15%)
State (CA) Cap Gain: 14603.25 (15%)
ACA: 0%

I don’t understand why state cap gains so high?[/quote]

fed tax on cap gain is be less than on ordinary income. Ca tax on cap gain is same as ordinary income. Based on those numbers, cap gain should be about $105K. Tax amounts don’t look right. Make sure you deduct costs of sale (commission, etc.) from the cap gain.

Lower of the two.

It was pretty amazing that in NYC/NJ it took less than 24 hours to find and capture that guy that decided to blow things up over the weekend. That suggests to me, we’re doing a pretty good job on things.
…
What was the complaint about the NSA again? Seems to me they are doing the job they are suppose to be doing.

Wrong. Zero to do with the NSA and intrusive surveillance, everything to do with police work and luck. As far as I know, it went like this:

(1) Device went off on 23rd Street, NYC
(2) Device did not go off on 27th Street, NYC
(3) Fingerprint was found on the unexploded device
(4) Fingerprint was matched to Mr. Rahmani, who had previous police contact
(5) An alert (including emergency alert to phones) went out about Rahmani, who was found sleeping on a street in a nearby NJ town.
(6) Rahmani was also caught on video tossing the bombs in a trash bin in a NJ train station

[/quote]

Claims have been made that the fingerprint was secondary confirmation. The prints were on the phone that was attached to the pressure cooker. The phone had the owners contacts, photographs, texts, and pretty strong evidence of who the phone belonged to. I’m not dismissing the fine police work. But this may have been a case of the police entering the case when all the clues had already been revealed, and all they had to do is give the final answer.

[quote=flu]Side note… Trump now believe Obama was born in the U.S.

Phew. Glad we finally settled that one! (end sarcasm)

No evidence that he actually believes that. The statement was not from him but from his campaign. Besides the statement being packed with at least half a dozen lies, he said earlier this year that the only quote that matters is one from him directly. He’s still a racist shit stain.
