Happy new year Desi!! One more question as I'm filling out the IRA distribution/withholding form. I have to check following for Federal as well as for State: "I elect NOT to have federal/state income tax withheld effective (MM-DD-YYYY):.........." What date should I put here? Will it be the date ...

[QUOTE=Desi;359223] I don't think so. Further, you can always keep the IRA open say with 1000 in it and take that distribution next year unless you need that this year.

My situation is little different, didn't want to start a new thread as it is relevant to 401K/IRA withdrawal. I have about 45K in ...

Another reason I'm looking for LCD is the savings on electricity bill. The plasmas are hogs..especially in India.

[QUOTE=pagladasu;101588]I am not there yet. What I read was a component input from TATASKY or DISHTV - should check the connection box while buying [COLOR=red]Neither of them provide component output. TATA Sky has composite that I am using to drive my Sharp Aquos 42" LCD (see my prev post).[/COLOR ...

[QUOTE=when2r2i;101584]After a lot of research I have decided to go with Sharp's LC-52D64U LCD model. Reasons 1. Dual voltage 2. Multi System PAL and NTSC 3. Price ($1999 at Circuit City) 4. Decent reviews of the set in general 5. Easier to transport to India than Plasma[/QUOTE] Are you sure it is ...

Has anybody invested in Benchmark ETFs such as Nifty BeES or Junior BeES?

I recall RRK had mentioned that liquidity is an issue? Don't know whether still it is the same.

Thanks,
