Tax Time
Ah, the joy of taxes. I just depleted what was once a very large bank account balance to pay my taxes for 2005. Chances are that next year I'll have to liquidate some of my holdings to cover the tax bill for this year. Oh well, such is life.
Anyway, this week began on a solid footing as my portfolio gained 0.5 percent today thanks in large part to nice gains in the MARS Brothers (MARSA and MARSB). I also noticed that after the close one of my watch list stocks, RML, got bought out by Warren Buffet. Even though I don't own RML, it's nice to know that the Great One and I are looking at the same stocks!
