Pay Off Your Mortgage or Invest
Owning a home outright is a dream that many Americans share. Having a mortgage can be a huge burden, and paying it off may be the first item on your financial to-do list.

Maximizing the Value of an Asset Sale: Deferred Sales Trusts
If given the choice, would you rather pay capital gains taxes on a large transaction all at once, or put it on layaway and make tax payments over time?

A Plan for Managing Stock Sales: 10b5-1s and SEC Rules
A Rule 10b5-1 plan is a robust tool for public company executives. Nevertheless, dealing with the complexities of insider trading regulations may require assistance from professionals with expertise in Rule 144, Section 16, and 10b5-1. This is especially true now that the SEC has announced that it may change aspects of the plan’s rules. SEC laws do not require companies to disclose the use of Rule 10b5-1 to the public, but it may be a good practice to do so. Announcements of the use of Rule 10b5-1 can help prevent public relations snafus and assist investors in learning the reasons for certain insider trades.
