fact gm and chrysler went under first.this then caused all the "i only buy american
car people" to all buying ford. now that the panic is over in gm and chrysler those
people will spreed out again.also more and more people r buying none american cars.don't
think for a second that ford has magicly changed their balance sheet,they still have many
many problems .they have fooled investors before and they will do it again more - Post your own answer

A: HEADS UP - BE AWARE - FYI
Gold and silver receive special treatment in the tax code. Considered 'collectibles', not
'capital assets', they don't qualify for the maximum 15% tax rate on long term capital
gains. Instead, gains on the sale of gold and silver investments, including gold and
silver backed ETF's, and gold bullion and coins (except certain US issued coins) are taxed
at a maximum tax rate of 28% when such investments have been held for more than a year.
When these assets are held for less than one year, gains are taxed as ordinary income.
Precious metals ETF's, such as GLD, are organized as grantor trusts. Investors in an ETF
are treated as owning individual interests in the metal owned by the fund. When an
investor sells shares in the ETF, the tax code treats that investor as having sold a share
of the metal backing the fund. Thus, the investor is 'subject to' the maximum tax on
collectibles . . . currently 28%
IF the Etf sells some of its gold or silver, as funds typically do to pay expenses,
including management fees, then gains or losses on such sales flow through to the fund's
investors, though they receive no cash distribution. In the case of gains, the investors
must include their share of the profit in gross income, which likewise would be taxable at
the maximum 28% rate.
GLD does provide instructions to shareholders on its website how to compute the gain or
loss when the ETF sells metal to pay expenses.
ALSO OF NOTE: the above tax considerations are 'moot' (of no consequence) if the ETF is
held within a qualified IRA . . . though the IRS has not stated its view publicly. more - Post your own answer

A: Of course, management is trying to boost the stock. That is their job. This is a very
speculative semiconductor company. It has a market cap of approximately 90 million.
You can make a value case for this stock, but you need to be concerned about the cash burn
rate. If you believe that the economy is improving, there may be a decent risk reward
ratio and it is a potential target for a larger company.
I would not buy here as I think the positives have been baked in, but it is not a stock I
really follow and I think there are better semiconductor and tech stocks. more - Post your own answer

A: whatever you do, buy gingerly...if 30G's is gingerly, and you can throw another 30 down
after a dip, then go for it. if not break that 30 up into 10 pieces. there is an analyst
who used to come in here who said he likes to play gold against the SnP....you might want
to consider core trading around both....it really does make sense. more - Post your own answer
