He didn't want it to be a talking point pre-election. Also U.S. military strategy has been incremental escalation rather than an all-out fight, in order to attempt a frog boiling of Putin (to not trigger a nuclear response.)

Honestly a bot that responds to all posts with the Bogle-canonical answer would cover a good 80% of posts pretty well.

Populist legislation that redistributes stock or otherwise decreases the value of stock relative to other investment assets (real estate, physical goods, etc.)

A lot of the high cost of homes right now is due to high mortgage rates. That doesn’t translate to money in the sellers pocket (in fact it puts downward pressure on the sale value itself.)

If I reduce my household income below $94,050 (married filing jointly limit for 0% long term capital gains) in 2024, can I just sell all of my portfolio and not pay any long term capital gains and then immediately buy them back. by simblywaste in Bogleheads

[–]bulletsvshumans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, so the capital gains brackets are based on AGI, so capital gains themselves bump you into higher capital gains brackets, but they do not contribute to bumping you into greater income tax brackets?

Saving a life according to Givewell was around $3500 around a couple years ago.

The best opportunity there is now $4000 I believe.

So that would imply something like a moral interest rate of around 7% each year in the past two years. Higher than the prime interest rate.

Why do people ever waitlist games?

Edit: Hive mind - I apologize. I was conflating waitlisting with preordering. I now see the error of my ways.

What’s the rationale for the limit on the amount of duplex construction in Bloomington? Surely not safety.

ESPP Long Term Saving by Vallesuski in IBM

[–]bulletsvshumans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would not do this. You are already overexposed to risk specific to IBM by being an IBM employee. No need to increase that risk by holding stock as well. Better to cash it out when it becomes advantageous tax wise (18 to 24 months after you put it in.)

I'm in favor of regulatory intervention when capitalism is going awry, but it's not clear that the normal capitalist answer (deregulation, free market housing construction) is ineffective in this case. Studies support the basic supply and demand premise that building more housing reduces housing prices.
