I own it in both my money and retirement accounts.....for that last reason mostly.
-
Kind of hard to say, as I prefer local stores......but it is a good idea. Make sure she can have it be for multiple uses and can go in the fridge.

Winter Meetings Are Over. Now What?
Mike Sixel replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Heh, I just brought that up in the YUGE thread.... -
I think it bodes well, as they fell short with this core, are going all in, and could use Dozier. if I'm the Twins, if money is an issue, take back one bad contract for next year....

Winter Meetings Are Over. Now What?
Mike Sixel replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Welcome to the site, but I just don't see there is any chance they get Urias. None. -
No, he was saying De Leon and Alvarez were the 4 RHP.... 4 prospects overall. Two of which are De Leon and Alvarez, with 2 AAAA player types, IIRC.
-
The mods here are great, overall, this is a great site.
-
By what measure could he lead off? He's pretty bad at the whole hitting thing...I'm not convinced he signs a MLB deal this off season, frankly.
-
Why do people think DanSan can play a position, because he has? He has been nearly the worst player in baseball, just because he made the majors and played doesn't mean he SHOULD play. I don't understand how he's on the roster at this point, I really don't.
-
De Leon, Alvarez, others......though if they it was Bellinger and not Alvarez, I'd still vote "yay". I just want more high upside pitching.
-
Talk about going off the rails....
-
Isn't Joey Bats, like, the opposite of a leader? Don't read great things about him on line. Not sure he fits with what they are looking for in a veteran (not saying I agree or not, just that he doesn't profile well....). I'm not convinced Rosario can hit enough to play the corner, but I'd give him one more year to convince me. It's not like there is another good option right now. As thrylos' point, ya, none have shown they can hit, but at least Kepler appears able to take some pitches.
-
You mean in addition to the massive income inequality this contributes to? Yes, I'm very serious. There is no reason Warren Buffet should pay a lower tax rate than his administrative assistant, as Mr. Buffet has pointed out over and over.
-
Welcome to the site, if you like it serious, you are in the right spot, if you like it silly, you are in teh right spot, though you have to squint sometimes.....
-
I really like LaVelle on the radio.
-
Why not? Why is one way of earning money taxed differently than another way?
-
better yet......tax all income the same.....don't "punish" those that work for a living with higher tax rates.....but we digress.
-
I hope not, he's a pitcher, their arms fall off willy nilly....
-
In general, I agree.....I would just be curious about the OF. They still need another OF. There is that tiny chance Park can play 1B......or DH, with Mauer, this coming year.
-
Probably this, though I'd be curious to know if he can play RF or not.....with Kepler in LF.
-
You are correct, Brock. Under a year, it as regular income for determining taxes. Over a year, pay 15%....
-
what? You better be paying taxes, or you are in trouble......reinvesting doesn't matter at all....
-
Oh, I get that last part for sure! That was more about if they can't sign Turner, they don't NEED to trade for a 3B, they can sign an adequate one. I agree AZ could be good, but they haven't signaled which direction they are going, really....
-
As a rule, I hold until I NEED to money.....as I'm not smart enough to know what the market will do (I mean, I like NVIDIA a lot, long term)......but, we will need some money early next year, so I might lock it in. That said, I have a couple losers that I could sell, and take a tiny tax loss. Unless I love a loser, I usually sell those when I need cash, to keep the tax bill low. We are wondering what the new President and Congress will do to tax rates........and at some point, I'm going to have to start selling winners.....
-
So if I get you, I can only spend like a quarter, and you still get a deal, right?
