Something to add, as some have already briefly mentioned, Theranos was able to perform blood tests with *some* of their stated features (though not reliably enough).

If you own stock XYZ (not a real stock) and it goes down is that a reason to sell? If you view the price of a stock to be a random walk, the fact it has gone down does not mean the pattern will continue.

Let's say I have an asset that I created, such as a music copyright. Each year it yields some royalties. Maybe year 1 it's $1000, year 2, $1200, year 3, $600. If I wanted to sell it, how much should I sell it for?
If it was yielding a consistent $1000 every year, then assuming a 5% discount rate, I guess it would... |

Have 60 days passed yet? If not, deposit the $500 in the IRA and designate it as a rollover, a transfer that went through your hands. You'll reconcile this in your tax return as TIAA will sent you a 1099 showing the withdrawal and the tax paid.

Let's say I buy 1000 stocks of ABC for 10$ each.
Avg. Cost : 10$

You bought 1,000 shares at $10 and sold 500 shares at $12. That's a $1,000 gain.
When you sell the remaining 500 shares, what will you put on your taxes as the cost basis? It will be what you paid for them which is $10.
If you like, you can calculate other stats regarding your trades but the cost basis is wh... |

I can't reconcile either calculation, but I can offer thoughts on how to measure return.

In other words, it removes biases from having more money invested in good times (and v... |
