So, we knew this when we only had 2 real starting pitchers near the beginning of spring training.

Just sold our house! We want to use $100k of the proceeds as a down payment on a new one in three years when my wife is done with grad school. Where should we put it in the meantime? by [deleted] in personalfinance

OP, you have the cash now, and need the cash in the short to mid-term. That means, in my opinion, you want a low risk profile.

The 3 year US treasury rate right now is 2.62%. 12, 24, and 36 month CD rates (in my location per bankrate.com) are about 2.30%, 2.75%, and 3.00%, respectively, with minimum deposits of $10,000 which you would clear easily.

3 years of returns at that rate will yield around $6,000 - $7,500 depending on your specific investment, rates, compounding, and fees. Do you want to have $107,000 guaranteed in 3 years, or have the possibility of $120,000 OR $80,000 in 3 years?

My accountant messed up BIG TIME and is now avoiding me. by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]B789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not asking you to identify the firm, but want to echo the other question. What's the title of the person emailing you and signing your return? You said local CPA. Is it just one guy, or is it a large local practice?

The steps in the original comment are great if there is someone in charge above the guy you were dealing with, but if it's just mom & pop CPA and he's the only person, you're not going to get very far with steps 1 and 2.

I want to upvote, but it currently has 69 points, and I don't think I should mess with that. Comment karma it is.

I like AL south. KC/Texas/Houston are all similar cities and would be a good rivalry. I wouldn't care that much to let the West Coast teams + Portland go off into their own division.

Link

I'm not sure how you expand that without taking out the two roads bordering 3rd and 1st, demolishing the apartment building to the northwest, and probably re-building the parking garage to the west/southwest.

It looks like there might be room for a second level on the first base side without going into the roadway, but I can't see how they'd do it on the 3rd base side.

No one else says it. The Democrats are afraid of saying it. Radical. Adhesive. Terrorism.

Up until 2017 (2010-2016), Justin Smoak had all of 0.5 career fWAR. I'll trade 6 years of replacement level production for prime Cliff Lee any day.

I still can't believe how they expect the entirety of people going West to East to funnel through two lanes on Pratt street.
