Quote:and then had to pay taxes on those illusory gains. That is the catch most people miss. If you make a 5% return on a short-term investment and inflation was 3%, you really only gained 2% and, that is before you pay income taxes on the 5% "gain". For a lot of people just treading water after taxes would have been a good return. Flap 2012-06-05 08:27:01
