ItsDeductible: Tax Year 2003 Workbook

Book Description

ItsDeductible 2003, published annually, gives authoritative, fair-market values for charitable donations of clothing, household goods, and other items. Based strictly on IRS guidelines, the book eliminates guesswork and ensures a full tax deduction. Thousands of commonly donated items are valued in good, fair, and poor condition. For example, a stationary exercise bike in fair condition is valued at $123, while a dress in good condition is worth $28. Categories include Clothing, Jewelry, Baby Supplies, Consumer Electronics, Furniture, Tools, Sporting Goods, Toys, and more. Readers can also track monetary and property donations, out-of-pocket expenses, and mileage costs incurred while driving on behalf of a charity. Income Dynamics — the nationally recognized authority in assigning fair market values to thousands of commonly donated items — guarantees readers at least $300 in tax savings.

Book Description

Basic investment tenets are covered in an easy, understandable way, but then the book also covers hedging, bond yields/prices, principal protected investing, and conservative options strategies for retail investors. Written in 1998, but the past 6 years tested the contents of the book well and it is enduring.

Defensive investing.......2004-06-15

Sleeping like a baby is a book everyone must read before investing in the stock market. Had you used these strategies during the last bear market, you could have protected your gains from that last bull market and made even more money on top of that without having to retreat to money market funds.

Really can't find any fault with this book. One of the best investing books that I have read, and I have read many.

Very informative.......2001-01-25

This book is almost prophetic as it was written in 1998 and describes strategies that would have allowed someone to stay invested all through the incredible late 1999 stock market and yet avoided or hedged much of the risk that killed so many people in 2000. Wish that would have been me! It isn't too complicated but isn't dumbed down, and explains things thoroughly. A few areas could have used more depth to really answer all my questions, but in those cases he usually points you to where to get more information. A great read, and still very current and applicable in today's market. Many of the investment stuff written is based on the latest fad, this is a good basic textbook on a subject that most people think only professional portfolio managers can really use and understand.

Bear? What bear?.......1998-10-21

I bought this book midway through the market correction in August, when I was considering "getting out" of the market altogether and selling great stocks that I've owned. I used a collar strategy from the book and bought some zero coupon treasuries, plus bought a stock that fit the description of a "defensive". My portfolio is now worth 7% more than at the market high in July, even though as of today the Dow is still 1000+ points off that high. Best of all, I didn't touch any of my core holdings. Best 20 bucks I ever spent. It was also valuable to finally read about bonds in a way that I can understand. The book could use an index and a bit more detail on convertibles and derivatives that are discussed, but overall the best thing I've seen yet. Very friendly read.

LIKE A LIGHTHOUSE IN TROUBLED WATERS.......1998-09-11

This author ties together all the elements of smart investing in one easy to follow book. Set your compass by this lighthouse and you won't run aground.

Rides like a Lexus on a bumby road.......1998-09-03

In todays market volatility it is comforting to know how to smooth out the rough days by protecting on the downside and still maintain profit potential. Mr. Hudelson's calm approach to an emotional process is certainly appreciated.

Book Description

The notion of conflict of interest is more relevant today than ever. Ethical sensitivities about the relationship between professionals and those they serve is a source of constant debate. This book sets a new standard for work on this perennial topic, collecting a set of practical essays by top applied ethicists on a wide variety of professions and occupations. Some conflicts of interest arise because a profession takes on many roles while serving one goal; others take on one role but serve multiple goals. Some conflicts are internal to the profession; others (such as family or business connections) are external. The essays in this volume address such diverse conflicts in a comprehensive way, in an attempt to make useful comparisons across professions. Containing fifteen original chapters by noted scholars of applied ethics, this volume systematically explores professions including law, medicine, journalism, engineering, financial services, anthropology, film, physical therapy, and literary criticism. An introductory chapter surveys and contextualizes work on the topic, while the concluding chapter offers us a new way to compare conflicts of interest across professions and occupations. Conflict of Interest in the Professions will be of great practical interest to scholars of applied ethics and law, as well as to professionals in the fields discussed

Book Description

It is a sine qua non of legal practice that lawyers should not allow themselves to act for two clients whose interests may, potentially, conflict. However, this principle is being placed under increasing pressure, the main reasons for this being increased demand for specialist legal services, the globalisation of commerce, a dramatic growth in the size of leading law firms, and significantly greater mobility within the legal profession.

As a result, there is a growing trend, especially within the commercial legal environment, for solicitors to face conflicts of interest which have no easy solution. Increasingly, conflicts are being 'managed', rather than avoided altogether. This is a field within which the Law Society's own rules are flouted on a daily basis, and in which these rules appear increasingly at odds with the common law.

Book Description

This volume features a comparative account of ethics regulations across the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Italy. The authors situate conflict-of-interest regulations within a broader discourse involving democratic theory; identify the structural, political, economic, and cultural factors that have contributed to the development of these regulations over time; and assess the extent to which these efforts have succeeded or failed across and within different branches and systems of government. Collectively, they provide an invaluable survey of the development, function, and impact of conflict-of-interest regimes in public life.

Book Description

The almost relentless concentration of capital and the amalgamation of services within the financial services industries of the UK, the US and Japan have created an unparalleled potential for the development and exploitation of conflicts of interest and duty. While these pressures are not new to those who handle other people's wealth, given the vital importance of the major financial markets as efficient and fair allocators of capital, the implications, legal and otherwise, of such conflicts are of considerable practical significance to intermediaries and those whom they serve. Conflicts of Interest and Duty focuses on the identification, control and implications of conflicts of interest and duty in these three major financial markets. The pervading effect of US securities law is analysed, as is the pragmatism of the English common law, and the hybrid response of Japanese law and regulators. The work explores in legal and business terms the notion of conflict of interest and duty, from the perspective of investors, financial intermediaries and those concerned to ensure fairness and probity in the markets. Consequently it will be of interest to all those who manage or handle other people's investments, their professional advisors, the clients themselves, those charged with regulating the markets and those responsible for framing the law. Having regard to the practical importance of US Federal law and English common law and the essentially Civil origins of Japanese commercial law, the reach of this book is truly international. Few, if any, regulatory systems in today's global market remain uninfluenced by, the legal experience of the UK, the US and Japan.

Great for Non-Accountants.......2006-10-19

I found the book to be attractively put together and full of examples. They address both manufacturing and non-manufacturing environments - including service industries. Managerial Accounting is a vital tool for businesses as it provides techniques for making better business decisions based on data instead of "hunches". Nonetheless, the material can be difficult to get through. The authors understand this and use real-life examples to help give insight as to the way businesses use these analysis techniques. Because the material can be challenging, I can understand some people finding the material boring. However, given the type of material, I feel the authors have done a commendable job in communicating the material in an appealing way.

Boring read for good subject.......2002-04-17

Reading through this book is a BORE! :( Examples are almost non-existant, there's like nothing (like definitions) on the sides of the pages, and no glossary. How poorly written! Please find an alternative to learn this rather interesting subject. Thank you!

Disappointing.......2001-05-01

Having previously read "Fundamental Financial Accounting Concepts" by the same people, this book was a disappointment. It came off as incredibly dry, and was not all that clear in its presentation of the concepts. The "Fundamental Financial Accounting" volume is great, but I'd recommend another author for the managerial book.

The condition of the book when I received was not as good as stated. I did expedited shipping but it was just as slow as the regular shipping rate.

Not worth the money.......2007-01-03

This book was required for the class I took. The Ready Notes is a bound set of Powerpoint slides (3 per page). The instructor did not use the entire set of slides. I could have taken notes during the lecture and saved the money.

It is good book to learn managerial accounting and it also good to keep it as a reference.
