Household Finances

Stock options

21 years ago

Joyful Guy, this is for you or for anyone else living in Canada who might know. I have just been told that any gain received from stock options is taxed as Capital Gains? Is that correct? If it is then I am learning something I didn't know. I'm rather doubtful if the info is correct but I would like to know for sure. I know, Ed that you do tax returns for seniors so expect you can give me an answer.

Also how are you enjoying your new home? Do you have your computer hooked up now or do you still come in to the library?

Sorry, ivbamae ... don't know (for sure).

But will find out and let you know.

Enjoying the new place - nice place, but can hardly see the floor for boxes and can't find anything.

Nephew from Edmonton whose wedding son and I attended a year ago Christmas spent a couple of nights a couple of weeks ago.

Got a couple of large bottles of inst. coffee from kids as they were clearing out mother's house last fall, filled small bottle for the farm. Small bottle at the farm was running out when Stuart was here - looking for large bottles, high and low - no result, so far. Frustrating.

Searching for magazine I'd borrowed from Byron library (closed for renovations) this morning: couldn't find it, then couldn't find envelope it came in - needed to find it, as it's overdue and I'm way too cheap (read "frugal") to pay fines. Unnecessary costs are the *worst* kind!

So ... late for ROMEO (Retired Old Men Eating Out) club to drink coffee and indulge in conversation at church - I say it should be ROMDO (Retired Old Men Drinking Out), but they say it's O.K., as usually we have cookies, cake or muffins. We're going to Mandarin for lunch early June, finishing gathering for the summer.

Rent much cheaper at the farm, but must carry water for drinking and cooking - well too close to barnyard. Cattle will be all gone soon - don't think new owner will have any.

Owner dropped some chlorine pucks like they use in pools into well a couple of weeks ago - water doesn't smell any more, so one of these days we'll take a sample in for testing.

Chief problem with computer is mine is rather old, think it had been in an office where there was central processing unit, satellite stations had limited storage capacity. When I try to go online it says there's not enough room to process.

Could be some kind of virus or other nasty critter is messing things up inside, as well. I'd needed to delete some stuff occasionally, before, to keep operational.

Why would anyone trust personal accounting information to someone who is too stupid to comprehend "no advertising" in the Garden Web Membership??? Perhaps you did comprehend it, but you have the opinion that rules only apply to others, that certainly boosts my faith in your professional ethics...LOL

Short Term Savings -- suggestions?
Q
Comments (11)
Money market accounts are FDIC-insured, just like CDs. Money market funds offered by stock brokerages, etc., are not FDIC-insured, though they may be privately-insured. Both are quite stable because they're very-short-term holdings of firms which present no significant financial risk over the terms being discussed. The main differences will be in interest rates and in how long your money could be tied up without penalty. Even a short CD could hold your money for 30 days (which may not be a big deal if you need it for a closing, which typically takes longer than a month to schedule). Money market holdings can be redeemed in a day or so. Where to get them? Your bank or credit union most likely offers them. So do stock brokerages. I have not canvassed rates, but I don't think they'll be so different that it pays to spend a lot of time shopping around -- especially for the short time you're likely to need it. Go for convenience in making the deposit and redeeming it.

What to do with this ledge?
Q
Comments (14)
Thanks for the feedback everyone! I was just saying to my DH that I'd like a glass shelf with stainless legs, but since we have our electrical running in the ledge (light switches and a plug), we'd have nowhere to put them, I think.... I like the idea of a safe place for drying items - I'm so paranoid about leaving anything wet on the butcher block as it is only oiled with mineral oil (since I use it for chopping). DH suggested making the ledge a bit wider, but with the extra width hanging entirely over the livingroom side as suggested above. Another thought that I had was to paint, with the same metalic paint that I used as a stripe in the baby's room, a design on the existing ledge. Like a damask. Or something similar to the wall paper in the nook (photo below - prior to the light fixture being hung and our table - frosted glass - and chairs - white with chrome legs - being moved in). Doesn't get away from the sticking issue though. (My picture taking abilities are questionable - can't seem to get most of the room in one shot....)

Chip Implants Linked to Animal Tumors
Q
Comments (6)
Please be aware that rats and mice develop tumors much more easily than dogs or people. I read this on the AOL vet board. Furthermore, the tumors they are correlating with the microchips formed right around the microchip, and they are not seeing this in pets. My dog did die of a brain tumor, but since she was a wandering breed, I feel it was prudent to microchip her. And her tumor was very deep and not close to the chip. I am fairly confident the 2 were not related, though certainly I can't be sure. Then again, every time she escaped, it was the tag on her collar that was used to find me.
