What Is Tax-Loss Harvesting?

Tax-loss harvesting is the timely selling of securities at a loss in order to offset the amount of capital gains tax due on the sale of other securities at a profit. 

This strategy is most often used to limit the amount of taxes due on short-term capital gains, which are generally taxed at a higher rate than long-term capital gains. However, the method may also offset long-term capital gains. This strategy can help preserve the value of the investor’s portfolio while reducing the cost of capital gains taxes.

There is a $3,000 limit on the amount of capital gains losses that a federal taxpayer can deduct in a single tax year. However, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules allow additional losses to be carried forward into the following tax years.

4 Key Points

  • Tax-loss harvesting is a strategy investors can use to reduce the total amount of capital gains taxes due from the sale of profitable investments.
  • The strategy involves selling an asset or security at a net loss.
  • The investor can then use the proceeds to purchase a similar asset or security, maintaining the portfolio’s overall balance.
  • The investor must be careful not to violate the IRS rule against buying a “substantially identical” investment within 30 days.

About the Richard Feynman Learning Technique

Posted on November 6, 2022 by Dr. Marcinko

What it is – How it works?

[By staff reporters]

I’ve taught at the undergraduate, graduate, business and medical school levels. And, I’ve used and modified the Feynman technique at every level.

Learning From the Richard Feynman Technique

  1. Identify the subject. Write down everything you know about the topic.
  2. Teach it to a child. If you can teach a concept to a child, you’re way ahead of the game.
  3. Identify your knowledge gaps. This is the point where the real learning happens.
  4. Organize + simplify + Tell a story. Start to tell your story.

Assessment: Some time the Feynman Technique even reminds me of the 70-20-10 Leadership Model.

Conclusion: Your thoughts are appreciated.

WEEKEND REVIEW: Stock Market Update and China COVID Policy

Posted on November 6, 2022 by Dr. Marcinko

  • Markets: Stocks closed their otherwise terrible week on a high note following another solid jobs report for October. The US economy added 261,000 jobs last month, more than expected, though the unemployment rate ticked up to 3.7%. The Fed wants to see the labor market loosen up before it’s willing to slow down its rate hikes.
  • Stock spotlight: Carvana, the online used car retailer that surged during the pandemic, suffered its worst day ever and closed near its all-time low. Carvana’s plunge of more than 95% this year makes it a prime example of Covid darlings that were caught flat-footed when the macroeconomic environment deteriorated and pandemic trends (like huge demand for used cars) snapped back to normal.
  • DraftKings stock had its worst day on record, down nearly 28%, after revealing a longer-than-expected path to profitability.

Is China going to loosen its Covid policies? Investors pounced on rumors this week that Beijing was thinking about relaxing its draconian Covid precautions, sending Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index to its best week in a decade. Separately, Reuters obtained a recording of a former Chinese disease control official telling a conference that China would be making big changes to its “dynamic-zero” Covid policy.

What is E-Learning?

What it is – How it works?

Live Interactive iMBA Education

Electronic Classes can require intense interaction between live faculty members and adult-learners, often more so than in many traditional on-ground courses; and most automated Computer Based Training (CBT) programs.

Students [adult learners] are typically expected to log-in and contribute three to five times each week. With this frequency of interaction, students and faculty all get to know one another, well. There are few opportunities for passivity.

In fact, in the iMBA CERTIFIED MEDICAL PLANNER™ program, students tend to interact with instructors much more than in traditional settings; thus promoting future peer-based discussions and real world applications.

Moreover, in the electronic iMBA classroom, everyone must write; particularly for the R&D loaded CERTIFIED MEDICAL PLANNER™ program. All assignments are typed, creating a permanent record of each person’s contribution. Faculty members find this promotes careful, reflective submissions from most students.

Additionally, instructors can easily monitor student progress and communicate with those who need help, or who have trouble keeping up. This is usually done privately by e-mail, fax or phone after certain online expectations have been clarified.
