My wife says I'm a guy...lol

By golly, you're right!!! It does come out to $6,500! And to think...I spent all that time in grade school and received my 6th grade diploma...for what?

[IIC]

After I posted that I got to thinking...It is Websman...not "WebsWoman"...Anyway, doesn't matter to me one way or the other...You seem like a good person.

[Websman]

We must think alike...

I read a post you made on the IBD board where you said you trade through a tax deferred account. I do the about the same thing. I have a sharebuilder account which is tax deferred. I'll have to pay tax when I retire, but until then, I'll keep trading with Uncle Sam's money.

My accounts are as follows...ROTH IRA which I could not contribute to this past year, My wife's IRA, An old Rollover IRA and a cash account...I had another cash account which I closed last year...It was for Penny Stocks...didn't work out that well...But it was sorta fun!

trading and taxes

Gentlemen,

Could you help me? I have five children. Each has his own account to help save for college. The three oldest have $1,000; the two youngest have $500. Is there anyway to avoid paying taxes as these are to be college funds.

Also, any advice about my own personal account and saving on taxes would be appreciated.
