...When offsetting capital gains with capital losses, you must match rates where possible. So if you sold a long-held stock at a loss before May 7, where the 28% rule applies, you're obliged to use it to offset any gains where the 28% rule applies.

Now he smiled at the prospective jurors, 100 people or so; everybody knew...
...County. Last year juries in Alabama awarded $200 million in punitive damages, some of it in cases where actual loss was minuscule compared with the damages. "Alabama is off the charts," said George Priest, a Yale University professor of law and economics. "Lawsuits used to be about restitution. Now Jere Beasley goes into court and not only gets the money back; he gets $25 million in punitive damages. There is no other county in the U.S. like Barbour County...
