Tax the Unhealthy? (Part 2)

Prosper Taxes: Help Me… Help You

Prosper Lending, you’re the one
You make tax-time lots of fun…
This past Friday, I was having lunch with the author of the RateLadder peer-to-peer lending blog and the talk got on taxes. (What? You don’t talk about taxes at lunch with your friends? How strange!) [...] -

This is the Time that Fortunes are Made
Last October I asked, where would you put money now. I noted that quite a few things were expensive. Investments that were at full time highs were: Oil, the Dow, the price of gold, emerging markets, and China. I finally decided on a regional banks ETF despite the sub-prime mess. [...]
