Looks like it might be a good week for Chinese stocks.
I am pleased to report that the U.S. has made substantial progress in our trade talks with China on important structural issues including intellectual property protection, technology transfer, agriculture, services, currency, and many other issues. As a result of these very......
....productive talks, I will be delaying the U.S. increase in tariffs now scheduled for March 1. Assuming both sides make additional progress, we will be planning a Summit for President Xi and myself, at Mar-a-Lago, to conclude an agreement. A very good weekend for U.S. & China!
Man, I'm expecting to get around $18k back in my tax refund this year. Crazy.
Was unexpected, and the first time this has happened, due to:
1) First year I paid myself via payroll from my IT company, so I prepaid taxes on that, and I didn't realize payroll being an expense would push my company down into the red significantly... since it is a partnership, that is a huge win on my K1.
2) First year I have had significant mortgage interest to deduct.
3) First year of a farm business with HUGE start-up costs, so a nice win on my schedule F1.
4) Still have my high paying day job, which is where I paid all the taxes from to start with. [Reply]
