To my knowledge, there's no wash sale rule on gains. Only losses. One can sell a stock, pay the gains, and buy it back immediately at current market value making the holdings cost basis today's market value. Why would you do such

Backdoor Roths are a thing. The income limits don't matter in practice. The trick is getting appreciable money into the necessary accounts in the first place.

Shopping warehouses in quick succession is p-hacking.

Repeatedly testing the same statistical outcome looking for a one-time, possibly tail event, is p-value hacking writ large.

I do not read a reasonable distrust of the government and one's fellow man to be discouraging. Inevitable is a strong perspective but anticipating tail events is not. Civilization is overdue for mean reversion. Life is unlikely to be a

Just this week I watched someone discover that computing summary statistics in 32-bit on a large dataset is a bad idea. The computer science curricula needs to incorporate more computational science. It's a shame to charge someone tens

Land speculation is less taxed than, say, equities gains because of 1031 exchanges and forgiveness of the first $X of capital gains on a home sale. I don't see how "rent extraction" is less taxed relative to other activities

What's the value of a 1999 Camaro? How much should that number influence the price of last year's minivan? Arguing about the relevance of information to a transaction for some good is 1:1 with simply arguing about the transaction

Turning oodles of shares into cash at the prevailing price, without pushing the price adversely, is quite a trick. "Slippage" is how to research this concept.
