@Derf - yes, I've done the same or similar. My experience so far has shown that the numbers are all over the place and go up or down with the source and date of reporting. I have seen some of the numbers you and/or Bro mentioned and was only checkin…
"IEP units holders are responsible for taxes on the partnership income. Income taxes for certain operating corporations that the partnership controls do pay taxes, if any, at the corporate level. Unit holders receive an annual K-1 Schedule (Form 106…
Crash I don't think it's as simple as scrambling a bunch of jets and/or cruise missiles and having a go. The human cost could be huge and Putin might possibly obliterate Ukraine with a nuke or two because he's that crazy. I'd like to think that we (…
