        101 dead in India. Word of advice: don't tell gunmen that
        you're an American/Britain. Say that you're a Canadian, and
        that you never supported Bush's war. Seriously, you didn't

        \_ A VC wants to keep as much of the stock for themselves (and give
           as little to employees as possible).  That maximizes their return.

10/24  If I trade my 401K stock on a quarterly basis (reshuffle/reallocate),
       are the gains considered capital gains?  How much is taxed on 401K gains?

          \_ Plus you can re-invest your gains again and again without being
             taxed first.  E.g. if you invest $1000 and gain $100, you can

6/27    What are your favorite metal trading platform? Is Kitco any good?

        going.  I was also thinking of doing some largely buy-and-hold

        Fidelity because I have a 401k there, but I don't need anything fancy.

        on Tue I buy BAR for $10000 with the "unsettled" money from
