Personally, I pay as much as I can.
There is no way that I would ever ask questions to inform myself about tax ramifications, ask for tax advice, plan for tax savings, pay an accountant and incorporate legal tax strategies based on current tax code and tax law.
I like taxes.
Will you let me pay yours?
That sounds like something a poor person would say

ProPulica - Secret IRS Files report
Buffet is the king of tax efficiency - paying 0.10% on his wealth gains 2014-2018 (well no shit - its unrealized gains)
Bezos had the largest wealth increase - and payed less than 1% on his wealth gainsProPublica uses the term "True Tax Rate", but taxes haven't been paid on unrealized gains; that said they say there will be follow up article(s) going into how the fat cats avoid taxes, exploit loopholes and escape federal scrutiny.
Keep the CR comments to a minimum, so this doesn't get move to that shithole 😉

I've seen people (mostly on other sites) claiming they are holding until ridiculous prices like $500K. Assuming these hedge funds start getting margin called and forced to cover their positions and the price skyrockets, isn't there a price point where the hedge funds don't have the money to cover the positions? If they are short tens of thousands of shares, where do they come up with the capital to cover if the prices hits $10K, $50K, $100K, etc.? What happens then?
Next question, if all the short positions are forced to cover and the price does shoot up to $500K, how do the retail holders cash out? Every transaction needs 2 sides, and who is paying $500K for a single share of a company not currently turning a profit? Isn't the smart move to sell some shares on the way up, and not hold out for an astronomical price point like $500K?
It creates market havoc; see Archegos hedge fund collapse circa March 2021. In the end, if the fund runs out of money to cover the short, then the brokers/banks that lent them the shares are on the hook to replace the shares that were shorted but that their customer was not able to cover.

Gotcha. I maintain a modest collection of super cheap OTM SPY puts that would benefit from a quick market scare. Most expire Friday but I just bought a couple of hundred bucks worth of 419 SPY puts that expire today for .14 and sold off half already for .28 bout 10 minutes later. Last time we went through this with gme and friends , there was a nice SPY drop (temporary of course, stonks only go up) . Free riding today, still under water on my Friday puts.
What a waste of a day - pissed away $450 on SPY staddle on friday 419/425; then again a 1-day ALPP greenie is nice.
LOL celebrating getting closer to $4, when the hype was all about heading to the moon; while actually stalling out at the lower atmosphere -
Final Qualifying is today

Local kid from near where I grew up always plays in the one at Springfield, it must be his favorite course as he has the lead again this year; I think this year would be his 5th year qualifying there. He is a tour journeyman/grinder, 1 career win (rain shortened event) and over $10.5 million in career earnings

Russia is happy to harbor cyber-terrorists and thieves who fuck with our infrastructure and economy.
We need to fund/support a similar effort to hit them where it hurts: the pocketbooks of the oligarchs who keep Putin in power. Empty a few of their bank accounts. Hack into the systems of their villas, and cause a fire to burn them to the ground.
They want to fight this low-intensity war? Then let's fucking fight.
You want to get the Russians full attention, cyber-attack their vodka production

Yup, I'd sold some when it popped up, can't go broke taking profits. And then I bought more when it dipped under $0,80. Hoping it turns into a double, or better
I'm not looking for a ride to the moon, but I love taking multiple sub-orbital journeys
