Tax refund

[joety]

Average DJIA return. My portfolio is up about 80% from January 2009... 2009 was a great time to buy. DJIA from 6000 to over 11000 points?!

Understood, but had everyone known the market was going to be at 11000 today, it would not have been at 6000 at that time, and don't forget it was at 14000 at some point in early 2008. My point was that you can't find fixed income returns at 8% unless you are willing to take more equity like risk.

Just ordered my Barley Crusher and Beersmith, Im all set now and even have around 60 lbs of grains that are waiting in the wind, could someone tell me what and how much of that what I should run through it to soak up the oil Ive read about but cant find that post please?

Amen!!

Some people are always "proud" that they are getting a refund and don't realize that they've overpaid their taxes all year long...they could have placed that $$$ in the bank and gotten interest.

I make sure I always pay...

Airborneguy...do you realize how much interest you could have earned on that 20K if you hadn't handed it over to the Gov't?

Do you realize that our gov't owes roughly 10 trillion dollars, and thats not interest free? Letting the gov't keep your money interest free for a couple months may, in the long run, actually save money, because you're paying it one way or the other.

Yah, I will hedge my bet and keep my own money. Basically because I have yet to see our govt. not waste what they are given. I am expected to live on a budget, too bad my govt. isnt. I dont lend money to friends that are insolvent

Certainly those tax return checks will be written in Chinese soon.

I make sure they are giving me money when tax time comes around but not too much, just never want to have to pay out again so each year I try and get it almost null but am very careful to not make the mistake i made a few years back where I owed $3,025!

Any compromise agreement must be tailored to individual circumstances - there are several common key features to each one.

Very often as part of the terms of a compromise agreement an employee may receive compensation for loss of office which exceeds the statutory minimum amount that an employee is entitled to by law.

Any other procrastinators who still haven't gotten their tax refund planning on upgrading their setup? I'm thinking of possibly upgrading to AG.

Heck I filled for an extension.

However, so far this spring I got a Barley Crusher with 15lb hopper, 4 corny kegs, and just picked up a fridgerator yesterday to keep the kegs in. I still need my co2, regulator, tubing, faucets and what not. Man it adds up fast.
