 | Time vesting bonus - Beerinthepocket on 2/9/13 at 1:26 pm
So I'm about to receive a ~$6k bonus that vests after 1 year. If I quit before that I have to pay $5k of it back. Since I am unsure if I will stay at this job I want to treat the $5k as an interest free loan to lever up a relatively safe, liquid investment. Any of the money folks have a recommendat...

| IRA to Roth IRA - Beerinthepocket on 9/21/12 at 11:07 am
I currently have an IRA with $5,900 in it. Would it be a wise move to transfer $5,000 of it into a Roth IRA since this year will most likely be my lowest earning year ever?(My job's start date is October 3rd so I'll only have 3 months of income)....

| Representation without taxation - Beerinthepocket on 9/18/12 at 10:59 am
Our founding fathers were clearly against taxation without representation, but what about representation without taxation? If you don't have some skin in the game why should you have a say in how our tax dollars are spent?...

| The Moral Arguement for Free Enterprise - Beerinthepocket on 9/5/12 at 8:59 am
I thought this video may be of value to some of the liberals on this board since it is a emotionally based arguement for capitalism. Since dry basic logic doesn't seem to appeal to Rex, DA, and the like, maybe this logical yet more emotion based look at it will. (I actually doubt it, but it's worth ...

| Highschools should require basic business courses - Beerinthepocket on 8/7/12 at 9:09 am
I think that requiring a course taught at the senior level in highschool covering the basics of economics, finance, and accounting would greatly decrease the amount of misunderstanding and misinformation that circulates between the average people in our country. So many people seem to lack an elemen...

| IVAN Heavy oil focused O&G company - Beerinthepocket on 8/5/12 at 12:07 pm
I've recently been looking into IVAN as kind of a speculative buy. It looks like the possible upside could be huge compared to the downside. Does anyone else follow this company or have any thoughts on it?...

With Facebook's share price tanking, at what point do you think it becomes an attractive acquisition target for a company sitting on a boatload of cash? (think Apple)...

| CPA Exam difficulty - Beerinthepocket on 7/26/12 at 8:11 am
I took the my firm CPA exam yesterday (BEC) and I found it to be significantly easier than any of the Becker practice tests or questions. For those who have taken the other three, is it the same way with the rest of the exams?...

| Encana stock discussion - Beerinthepocket on 7/25/12 at 1:13 pm
So Encana posted a $1.48billion loss from an impairment charge of $1.7billion. Since this is a non-cash charge which really does not change anything regarding the position of the company aside from moving around some numbers, would now be a good time to get in?...

| Those who did not support Romney at first - Beerinthepocket on 7/25/12 at 8:34 am
I personally did not support Romney during the primary season. I was pulling for Newt as he seemed to be the true conservative of the bunch, but as I have looked into Mitt's stance on the issues I find that I agree with him more and more and believe he can really make our country move in a positive ...

| CEOs' thoughts on the debt crisis - Beerinthepocket on 6/26/12 at 1:30 pm
Today I had the pleasure of speaking with PwC's CEO of Central/Eastern Europe (30 countries in his region) and he shared many things, but one thing struck me.
When asked about his view on the looming debt crisis he said "The US is not Greece until it is Greece, and by that time it's too late."

| Oil Company Taxation - Beerinthepocket on 5/20/12 at 3:56 pm
Why is it that many of those on the left complain about the "tax breaks" that oil companies supposedly receive?
I just took a look at XOM's 10-K and you can plainly see that its effective tax rate for 2009, 2010, and 2011 was 47%, 45%, and 46% respectively. That is plainly a higher tax burden th...

So I was with some friends last night on bourbon street in an awful strip club and I heard some popping outside. Of course my dumb arse thinks it's a good idea to try to walk outside and see what it is. I was promptly grabbed by the strippers and told to get down. I asked if this was actually happeni...
