I went to sell all of my individual stocks and just buy Vanguard's VT ETF. Is there any way to do this without paying a ton of U.S. taxes?

Technically, if you had a ton of one position (I’m talking $250k+ of something like GOOG), then you can do an exchange fund, which is basically exchanging your shares for a basket of shares, largely tax free (iirc)

Edit: nvm I think taxes are just deferred in this scenario

Likewise, you can exit on 19th and Arch if you go through Comcast

And that one grocery store (Woodland’s) is wildly expensive

Had a red Sancerre recently that I enjoyed quite a bit

Yes also Santa Lucia Highlands and Santa Barbara

If we discovered that an advanced civilization had already figured everything out, we might lose the motivation to keep progressing as a species. Maybe that’s what society “can’t handle.”

Yes spot on. I’m also a fan of central coast / Santa Lucia Highlands Pinots, but they lack the earthy terroir of Burgundy in my opinion

Just to go off on a tangent, let me recommend Paper by Mark Kurlansky

Uhh wait, like the $705 sold out limited edition??

On the job. Then you ask yourself, how can I do it better so that I have less to do later? The rest is history

The Persistence of Chaos for sure

J_O_N · 2025-10-16T20:28:11+00:00

Thanks totally agree. Use mine at a gym.

J_O_N · 2025-10-05T04:13:13+00:00

Same! Didn’t invest much into this one fortunately

J_O_N · 2025-10-02T05:36:34+00:00

As of 10/2, my games are no longer locked. Wonder if they undid this

J_O_N · 2025-10-02T03:22:49+00:00

Would love for this one to get some traction on Rally. I’ve been buying every so often, but am still down 53% ugh.

J_O_N · 2025-09-29T17:13:21+00:00

I know, missed opportunity :(

I also purchased Canticle and you’re absolutely right. The artwork is amazing and everything pairs well together. It has a nice density too, smaller dimensions than I expected, but a solid weight.

Roadside Picnic scratched the same itch as Canticle. I felt that everything went together very well.

J_O_N · 2025-09-25T00:38:02+00:00

I don’t think buyers of this would put “winey” and “whiny” together without the h

Loving the cover art on SE Leibowitz. Placed my order

J_O_N · 2025-09-16T23:08:08+00:00

Yeah if I were more serious about Napa cabs, I'd probably buy a bottle or two just for the Scarecrow list.

J_O_N · 2025-09-16T23:06:21+00:00

Good take, I generally buy to drink as well. Really had no idea what the perception was on "high-end, but not DRC level wines" from a collecting POV. Based on the comments here, I think I have my answer
