Distant area code SIMs do wonders. I was still living in Vancouver, Canada when I learned maybe six or so years ago AT&T has removed all roaming restrictions in North America. So a few of us banded together, one of us crossed over to Ne

Just like that. Say you invested $22 and bought one Apple stock at IPO. Thanks to splits you now hold 224 stocks each worth some $210. Let's presume you die. Your heir inherits 224 stocks at $210 and so if they sell them at $210 then n
