With the 2011 market year coming to the end, tax sellers have only a few hours left in the United States to sell their position to get a tax loss on their tax return. Some sellers came in late this week to sell their positions. Selling their stocks late may cause price fluctuations to the downside especially for micro caps. Swaps from one equity to another could be a valuable tool here, since tax sellers have to wait one month before repurchasing the sold equity. " Also, beginning with 2011 , 1099 statements now disclose the purchase as well as the sell price of each transaction. This will allow the taxing authority to view if there is a gain or loss on each trade for tax purposes. " FPG added.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AUDIENCES AND FOLLOWERS TO THE REAL ECONOMIST
* CHRISTMAS DAY ON THE DECEMBER 25TH FOLLOWS ON THE SAME DAY AS THE ROMAN EMPERORS' SOL INVICTUS
Astoria , New York
The management of this blog spot wishes everyone Happy Holidays. With Christmas tomorrow December 25th , historians are debating if the Roman Christians and the breakaway Byzantine Orthodox followed the Roman Pagan and later only God Sol Invictus feast and birth day. " We know that Sol was initiated in Syria from evidence. Also many pagans eleswhere saw the sun as a form of deity. " FPG said. When Emperor Aurelian in about 274 AD made the official claim of Sol Invictus as only God of the Romans, it was because he was victorious in his campaigns against the enemies of Rome. Temples were erected and there were annual celebrations of this God.
The December 25th date coincided with the Winter Solstice period. " We don't have historian evidence that this celebration took place on December 25th at the time of Aurelian. This occurred about a century later when the Christian religion was already accepted by the roman emperors. Whether or not this is coincidence both Roman Pagans and Christians were celebrating on the same day. " FPG finalized.

LARGE COMPANIES CAN AFFORD KICKBACKS, MICROCAPS CAN'T
Astoria, New York
The big keep getting bigger while the small get smaller may be real when it comes to persuading clients to use their products with kickbacks. Medtronic is now paying more than 23 million to settle allegations by the Us Dept of Justice for paying these to doctors to encourage them to use their medical devices , as reported by Yahoo News. " Doctors have to buy what is best for them and their patients but sometimes, they are not going to get probably the same service they get from a Medtronic, a Ge or a Boston Scientific. A kickback on top will definitely seal the deal for the doctor to be devoted to one particular product. " FPG commented. Mass production and lower costs of the product doesn't mean that the product is better than a product made by a micro cap. There are laser companies, medical device companies and other technology companies out there that offer better products but are faced with a capital crunch. Large companies know that and that's how they are able to inflict damage. Take for example Lumenis, one large laser company, based in Israel,that was able to fiddle with Trimedyne ( TMED ), a micro cap headed by Chairman Marvin Loeb and his family. The company claims to have a better product but Lumenis was able to sell more as well as infringe on Trimedyne's fibers. Immagine that Loeb was a poor man. Trimedyne might not exist today. Instead, Loeb injected family money into the company and went after monster Lumenis. The conclusion was a early this year settlement of 2 million dollars for Trimedyne and royalties for the short term. This injected fresh capital into TMED has provided a wild card and hope for the future. Meanwhile Loeb has also engaged an investment banker to explore other oppurtunities. " The bottom line is money and the power of persuasion. Hopefully this settlement can be a lesson to other large companies." FPG finalized.
