Teresa's had several years now of tiny incomes on her investments. She must be building up one humongous capital gains tax bill! Does that make sense though as we're at the precipice of Socialism in America? Tax rates will be really going up, if her socialist husband has his way. It seems like risk management would lead her to realize some of her capital gains taxes now and be done with it.
Dear Reeses,
I don't really have a clue. I doubt she makes any of the decisions regarding her investments.
I can think of several reasons why she shows little by way of capital gains for the past few years, but it would be pure speculation.
Nonetheless, it's pretty apparent that the taxable income generated on her 1040 is dividend income, as it's taxed at 15%, and it's also true that yields right now aren't very high. 1% - 2% isn't unusual. Neither is 0%.
