@David_Charts2@SullyCNBC Do you assume all wealth is held in brokerage accounts? Publicly traded? Also, what about Brian's point re: taxing someone on $1 million of paper wealth this year that declines to $250k next year? In your proposal, what happens to that tax paid on wealth that was never realized?
@MZHemingway Ha! As a single guy, if I were church shopping in Northern VA, this might cause me to bump your church a little lower on the list of "must visit" π But I appreciate your angle, Mollie!
@bossinc23@NoLimitGains@SenWarren Jeff, half of 11 is 5.5. National tax policy is a lot more complex than the arithmetic you haven't mastered, so you might want to start somewhere more basic than this convo.
@DJyeryMoDz@financedystop I don't dispute that's an option. I disputed binary thinking that buying is always a better financial decision. People have all kinds of reasons for choosing a home, & choosing an expensive area doesn't make the situation "harmful." It just changes the math, which is my point.
@christophergipe@financedystop Genuine question: can't she just define beneficiaries on the accounts to avoid probate? Doesn't have to be a trust account, does it?
@Monarch_Trades@financedystop Not even close. Selling a home takes 45-60 days, costs 5-6% in agent fees, and requires manual prep + moving to a new home. It also incurs capital gains if there are any (assuming not immediately buying another residence). Whereas she can click buttons for immediate liquidity.
@DJyeryMoDz@financedystop Why do people think it's that binary? Housing prices vary from one city to the next. Sure, in some areas the difference is $100 to 200. But step outside your bubble into areas where a decent condo costs $500,000 minimum with a $600/month condo fee. And a SFH is over $1 million.
On @CNBCFastMoney Tom Rogers just made exactly the case @GilmanHill was trying to make about AI video production re: $NFLX competition on @HalftimeReport. If @TheJudgeCNBC wouldn't interrupt guests with inane attempts at jokes, she might have been able to make the same point!
No acknowledgement. No updated "1:00 PM" timestamp. No inclusion of the other regular committee members' disclosures. Just a clandestine update π @HalftimeReport, you and @ScottWapnerCNBC can do better!
31 minutes into today's @HalftimeReport, when asked about his CBRE ownership, @Downtown said emphatically, "No, I haven't been in this stock for a long time." You wouldn't know it from @CNBC' neglected disclosures page! And what about @bill_baruch & @coveredcalls disclosures??
@JTheretohelp1@KobeissiLetter Genuine feedback: If you're "here to help" as your username implies, it's better to make your point explicitly instead of dropping a screenshot and hoping we infer your point π
@HW08052651@FairfaxGOP@TheModerateVA "Attacking a concept" of cronyism and self-dealing? Which part of that do you object to? Your name suggests you might have some of the same "intellectual challenges" you're accusing the original poster of.
@alexmd2@KatieMiller@MariaBartiromo@MorningsMaria "Engineered lack of data" points to how difficult it is to prove fraud *after the fact* when there were insufficient safeguards beforehand.
Lack of evidence doesn't mean there's fraud, but you're arguing there's "not enough evidence" in a system that avoids generating evidence.
@maxij84@Alice_MiaX How far out into the future are the expirations you're buying & selling? And how far out of the money? I dabble in this, but I don't really have a system nor have I found a good sweet spot for me.
@HalftimeReport Can you please return to the practice of announcing each morning which committee members will appear on the show that afternoon? I found that very helpful for determining whether Halftime is appointment television on any given day!
@_askwalmart Once again, I'm stuck. No outreach after I provided the details of my concern via DM. And subsequent responses to that DM are met with automated garbage replies. Can you please just unlock my account? And/or put me in touch with a human being for support?
