+25% I am assuming you are not sending them a w9 and therefore not getting the tax deduction 30+20+20+25=95% Is it really worth it when you evaluate the issue holistically?

Some of this may have already been covered.i think taking a more holistic approach with savings would help.

Therefore, it seems like there are many gurus now, but holistically, there aren’t that many, you’re just being targeted in that niche and they are paying for the distribution.

Not completely favorable markets at the moment but im not too worried because the market, holistically, is linear.

But with tax law, it is important to look at this holistically and so your CPA should have a good understanding of your facts and circumstances and advise accordingly.

Really just trying to get a holistic view as I prepare for my entry to the market

I stay mostly on the holistic side and one of my best friends in Atlanta was a chinese medicine doctor and I'm constantly calling her up asking who knows what!

Holistic Health Care doctors use a PMA when the FDA tells them they can't offer anything other than prescribed drugs.Chiropractors have used PMAs to get started when Chiropractic care was seen as fringe medicine.Restaurants use them to serve alcohol in dry counties.A PMA is nothing more than contract law where two people engage in a contract and in their 1st amendment right to association tell the government they have NO jurisdiction. 

So while stringent requirements are great sometimes they have to be looked at holistically if the market dictates that.

They fall into the traps of hoping for appreciation alone, or investing for cash flow alone, and reap the consequences of their failure to take a holistic approach in either the short or the long run, depending on their failure.Other people make this hard on themselves in a different way.
