1) Has he diversified his portfolio within the 11 sectors?
2) Does he go for capital appreciation stocks or dividend stocks?
3) How much time does he spend studying a company's financials (10K form) and charts?
4) Who is his favorite investor? Warren Buffet for picking great stocks and holding for many many years or someone like Bill Ackman who is a bit deceptive on his trading tactics (over the summer he said 'Hell is coming' a signal thought by many as "panic sell" whilst he was buying heavily)
5) What is the number he is seeking to retire? There's usually a number ranging from $1M and $200M.
6) Maybe ask him if he is seeking to get licensed as a CMT (reading chart patterns)?
Hope this helps, either way best of luck to him!
Answer:
Maia’s alternative minimum taxable income is: =$119430
Explanation:
Given:
- Regular taxable income of $116,300
- State income taxes $3,130
From that, we can find out the taxable income
= Regular taxable income + State income taxes
= $116,300 + $3,130
=$119430
Because the deduction spent on charitable contributions will not consider as taxable income because charitable contribution is a deductible amount from a person's taxable income.
So, Maia’s alternative minimum taxable income is: =$119430
Answer:
Long-term fixed-rate plan-$220,320.00
Short-term variable-rate plan-$224,280.00
The long-term fixed-rate plan is less costly as it has a lower interest expense
Explanation:
Total interest under the first plan=principal amount*interest rate*3 years
principal amount is $720,000
interest rate is 10.20%
total interest expense=$720,000*10.20%*3=$220,320.00
Interest expense under second plan=($720,000*8.50%)+($720,000*12.90%)+($720,000*9.75%)=$224,280.00
