i am 25, self employed, making close to 200k a year. Soon i will have 200k liquid. I want to know if i should buy my first house say around 150k and maybe sell it after a few years since the market is great for buying a house right now or invest it on different things like bonds, mutual fund, stock etc.
my goal is to to own a really nice house by the beach (1 million) and have 500k net worth for retirement etc.
Next week I am going to my first photo shoot to start my portfolio with Elite Model Management and I was just wondering how long it takes for the photos to be printed and put into your portfolio.
I have a regular brokerage account (not tax deferred). I bought a mutual fund a number of years ago, and over the years the dividends have been reinvested in the same fund. This year, I was advised to rebalance my portfolio, so I sold all of this mutual fund. Unfortunately, the last dividend reinvestments were within the last year.
So the question is, does this reinvestment cause my entire mutual fund sale to be taxed at the long-term or the short-term capital gains tax rate? Or is the recent reinvestment portion short term and everything else long term? If so, what do I use for the tax basis for all of that?
It’s not the dividends I am asking about. It is the reinvestments of them. When I sold the mutual fund, all of the fund, including the reinvestments got sold. The question is, are each of the small little reinvestments taxed separately, or in one big lump?
We are nearing retirement and have some cash to invest. Looking for the highest return with minimal risk. Any suggestions as to where this cash would be best placed?

I am sick and tired of seeing my stock portfolio sometimes decreasing a few thousand dollars in one day. I am always looking for new stock investments. Which large corporate stocks are still available that have always made a profit and still have profit growth, have a low PE ratio, pay a dividend that will not be cut, have little or no debt on their balance sheet, and will be safe in this bad economy that we are facing. Provide the ticker symbols of these stocks and the reasons why the stock of these companies should be purchased.
please send me a diversified example of a good long term etf portfolio

How do you calculate long value in the first place? And to find the long value of an entire portfolio, do you find the long value of each stock and then add them up together? Don’t worry, this isn’t a HW thing…so I’m not looking to cheat. But I’d like to know ASAP. Thanks! 
I am managing my families stock portfolio, and based on our long term perspective, how would you rate the following stock portfolio?
MS, NVDA, MGM, RTN, NRG, WMI, GE, SBUX, MYGN, BMY, BDK. All stocks are represented fairly equally, but lighter on MS, MGM, MYGN, and GE.
Thanks in advance!
