I have one suggestion avoid companies that have really large deferred taxes on their balance sheet. Deferred taxes have nothing to due with the IRS or revenue Canada. When a company uses a different accounting procedures (depreciation etc) than one used by the government it creates profits on its net income statement that are not in the tax report accountants than assign the standard tax rate to this supposed profit resulting in something call deferred taxes. Large deferred tax number indicates profits are over reported.

Yes, we are shamefully OT. But at least it is practical and not just annoying political BS.

Buy stocks and, when they go up, sell them. If they do not go up, don't buy them.

Deferred taxes are not always bad. Essentially, it is a timing difference of book to taxable income.

And you have to have things in the balance sheet that eventually go to the profit or loss otherwise what are you making or selling. Got to spend money to make money.

On topic, please.

Apparently no way to buy Mitsubishi stock in the game that I know of since
Nikkei and Jasdaq came about after Scenario 15 (or any variation) ends. IIRC.

That would be helpful in getting to that early retirement that would let us spend lots more time playing WITP, so it really isn't off topic.

But it needs its own forum.
