Why is it...
...that all the interesting things happen just as rounds of tests come up? Oliver pointed out that TBS runs James Bond marathons right around finals time, without fail. While it'd be great to catch up on a series of movies I should've watched a long time ago, that's not what I'm getting annoyed at for being too interesting. Nope, this time it's stocks and taxes, and I'm just (slowly) working through the latter. I'm kicking myself for not getting into these areas back when I was earning money (or as the gov. loves to put it, receiving compensation income). I could've done more with the money than buy a palm pilot... :)
Oh well, it's fun learning. The entire issue of taxes was an alien behemoth...funny how even just a little research clarifies the world. I'd have to go with Ameritrade's slogan here, "Believe in yourself." Cheesy to an extreme, but the more I take a look around the more I'm surprised that tax advisors and full service stock brokers are hired as much as they are. That's just beginner foolishness, of course...they probably have their place somewhere.
It'd be fun if we pooled some money and invested it as a group - good way to learn.
This concludes the ramblings of a tired, up-way-too-late-for-own-good undergrad who's busy studying the wrong thing anyway...cal exam on wednesday. Oh, and stick when you're getting back to SL on the board, whenever most of you get back determines when I decide to come down...
