Tell me if you’ve heard this one from a friend:
“Ya it’s great it went up, but I’ll get *crushed* on taxes if I sell it. I’ve got to wait for it to GO BACK DOWN so I can get out.”
Yikes.
Surely the point of investing isn’t to wait for an investment to go DOWN 😂for fear of the tax man. Could there be a better way? Enter: The 351 Exchange. A tax deferment option to gain diversity, and unwind concentrated risk. Sonoma Wealth Managing Principal Chris Sipes CFP® and Cambria Investment Management Co-Founder and the Chief Investment Officer Meb Faber connect for a conversation on how 351 Exchanges are the “block and tackling” of finance. Sonoma Wealth Marketing Director Dano Weir hosts the conversation on the history of 351’s, scenarios where it makes sense and prohibited categories that may soon be opening. Sonoma Wealth clients have access to this service which must be facilitated by an advisor.
