weird question, but, anyone have experience in selling mineral rights (oil and gas)? I have family that has rights to some old tiny oil well in Oklahoma and they want to be rid of it just to not have to deal with the paperwork anymore. googling this produces various results such as: https://www.oklahomaminerals.com/sell-your-minerals http://www.okmineralbuyers.com/ https://www.pheasantenergy.com/oklahoma-mineral-rights/ https://www.momentumminerals.com/oklahoma-royalties.html but, it's hard to sell how scammy (or related!) those sites might be.

moana posted:Hard disagree. It's not reducing tax, it's postponing it, and if you have the option to harvest gains at a 0% rate, it's a no-brainer to take the gains. Even at 15%, these are historically low cap gains rates, and I'm guessing we see a hike on those rates in the next couple decades. If you think your AGI will increase in the future or tax rates will increase, it makes a lot of sense to lock in a low 15% tax rate now. Do you know of any good sites/calculators to help people make decisions in different scenarios about whether to take the tax hit now or later? I whipped up some python a couple years ago ago about what type of additional percent gain (in 'timing the market') I'd need within a certain timeframe to offset tax hit on selling for gains, if I reinvested in the same thing at some time later. But it was a very simple script.

in recent months a lot of exchange rate fluctuations have been driven by central bank rate changes (or expectations thereof). hence why the dollar gained against the euro and yen most of last year, with the fed leading rate hikes, but has lost ground since late oct / november (roughly) when the fed slowed down to 50 bps hikes instead of 75. at the same time ECB was getting increasingly hawkish and BOJ started signaling possible policy changes (which more recently led to them allowing their bonds to float in a wider range). but yeah it's a mess of factors to untangle beyond just opaque central bank plans

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:I can't think of any. In fact I would advocate closing bank accounts ASAP so you have less to keep track of. If it’s a bank or credit union with a local physical office, it can be useful to have their notary or other services even if you don’t maintain any significant balance with them. That’s been my use case.

good example of shareholder activism: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/04/when-a-plan-comes-together-inside-a-massive-eve-online-corporate-heist/ excerpt: quote:When that request “was greeted by silence," Dave said he and some friends in a new corporation started “a discussion… about how to get these assets back. One of our new friends suggested [corporate] shares… so we began to investigate how."

Space Fish posted:FYI for people who recommend AnnualCreditReport.com -- people can now get a free credit report every week instead of once a year. It was originally a temporary expansion that all three credit bureaus agreed to expand to weekly. Rampant fraud! wtf, really? i had no idea FTC site still says this "Also, everyone in the U.S. can get six free credit reports per year from Equifax through 2026 by visiting AnnualCreditReport.com. That’s in addition to the one free Equifax report (plus your Experian and TransUnion reports) that you can get annually at AnnualCreditReport.com." https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/free-credit-reports edit: ok yeah here's the update https://consumer.ftc.gov/consumer-alerts/2023/10/you-now-have-permanent-access-free-weekly-credit-reports
