Re: Where's the selling

If you want the write-off, the sale has to occur this year.  The buy-in can be whenever you wish.  Just not within 30 days.


My point is...you don't have to sell first and be totally out of the stock for 30 days.  Assuming you're committed to taking a loss this year and have the money, buy first, wait thirty days and then sell your original shares on or before December 31st.


Times running out...

Re: Where's the selling

The best way to take the loss this year (assuming one has the extra money) would be to buy/double-up now, wait 30 days and sell the original shares before year end. 


Stock goes up...you have more shares.  Stock goes down...your tax loss write-off increases relative to the original cost basis.

Cash?

Hello all. I need a little help.
It appears to me that we're getting pretty low on cash. With no revenue, it seems like we might have a few months tops. This makes little sense to me as two new members joined the board.
Other than some marbles, what am I missing???
Thanks

Xylem/Sensus Merger

From Sensus website:



  • One-third of utilities around the globe report a loss of more than 40-precent of clean water due to leaks

  • Reducing leaks by 5 percent, coupled with up to a 10 percent reduction in pipe bursts, can save utilities up to $4.6 billion every year

  • With a smart water network, many public service providers immediately discover a daily loss of thousands of gallons of water due to leaks. One utility even found a single leak causing 200,000 gallons of water loss each day

From your lips...


By the way, my hats off to all of you who continue to do the research, post the facts, express opinions and keep the fire burning.


Long since April of '99. I tend to say something stupid when the frustration is too much to bear. So, I'll just stay here in the bushes.
