My Simple /Silly US Tax question

IRS website says, estate tax of 46% has a $5m exemption for citizens, but only $60k for foreigners. I was wondering what is the best way to plan for this, when a R2Ier gives up their residency/citizenship? Given the fact that there is no estate tax in India, what is the best structure to limit ...

Are investments in Sahara safe?

[QUOTE=GutsyGibbon;473038]Other quotes in the article: "If 69,673 SIREC investors died in three months, that?s a bit too much ? and highly unlikely." Looks like Sahara has a lot of cooked up numbers.[/QUOTE]

Three Pools of Portfolio Allocation

If I read this correctly: have X in pool A, X in pool B, which will become 2X and can be used to refill A in 7 years. Now, if i was comfortable living on the returns from X in pool A, I would need a lot more after 7 years to support the same lifestyle due to inflation. Or am i missing something?

The rest are butt ugly, bald with a pot-belly. :)) If one is reasonably attractive, he/she will get hit on, whether married or not. When the marital status becomes known, in most cases, it gets dropped because ...

Where can I find Stella (beer) in Bangalore!

Good folks of the forum, any idea where I can buy Stella Artois in Bangalore? Someone said Spar carries it, although I don't remember seeing it. Any pointers? Thx.

TGIF carries it if you want to drink there!
