Are you sick of tax season? Ya, same. We wish they’d come up with a vaccine for that. Let’s put a nice pretty bow on all things tax! We talk about the mad dash for documents, common client questions and other haunting items that pop up every April.

The BIF guys also discuss the potential benefits and downsides of utilizing a Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA) strategy. Finally, we cover the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) and the 3 different forms that it could take. Yes, Mike believes in the strong form. Here's the Strong Form vs. Weak Form practice question that we work through.
